Gong Myung scolds Sooyoung in Second Shot at Love
by lovepark
The first teaser has dropped for tvN’s romantic-comedy Second Shot at Love, featuring Sooyoung (Not Others) as alcohol-chugging mechanic Han Geum-joo and Gong Myung (Way Back Love) as the alcohol-averse doctor Seo Ui-joon. These two polar opposites reunite as adults, and thus begins her journey towards sobriety.
Opening with a sequence of Geum-joo drinking – no matter the occasion, group, or place – she appears energetic and lively as she tosses back a glass of soju, beer, or wine with a smile on her face. In contrast, we hear Ui-joon’s voiceover saying that South Korea is too lenient with alcohol, and his words have merit as the scenes change to what happens to Geum-joo after she gets drunk.
From her parents to her old crush, the people around Geum-joo call her name with a mixture of worry and disappointment as she stumbles over a rock, gets piggybacked by Ui-joon, and spills her guts into the toilet. It might have been fun in the beginning, but it seems once Geum-joo starts, she does not stop until she is completely drunk.
Ui-joon sternly tells her to quit drinking, and as if contemplating his advice, our drunk heroine hiccups in response. Touted as the first Korean drama promoting sobriety, the show could be a fun change of pace to the usual drinking culture seen on our screens.
Similarly to the teaser, the two posters released alongside it showcase Ui-joon’s stance against drinking. The first depicts Ui-joon pulling Geum-joo out of a glass of beer with the words “I wish you would not drink,” and the second has doctor Ui-joon asking if you have ever considered cutting off alcohol with images playing off the Korean phrase “the film was cut” to describe alcohol-induced blackouts.
Written by Myung Soo-hyun (Monthly Magazine Home) and Jeon Ji-hyun (Ugly Young-ae Season 10) with filmmaker Jang Yoo-jung (Honest Candidate) at the helm, tvN’s Second Shot at Love is slated for twelve episodes and will premiere May 12 in the Monday-Tuesday slot.
