"Youth of May" piqued the viewers' interest with its powerhouse cast and jaw-dropping visuals.
Back in December 2020, KBS2 confirmed that they would release a new show about a sentimental period drama set in the '80s.
Helmed by "School 2017" director Song Min Yeop and written by Lee Kang, the forthcoming melodrama revolves around the lives of two young people who met during the whirlwind Gwangju Uprising.
This is said to be one of the most significant times in the history of South Korea after almost 2,000 people were killed, mostly Chonnam University students who at the time demonstrated against the government's martial law.
"Sweet Home" stars Lee Do Hyun and Go Min Si reunited to lead the cast of KBS2's new evening drama that is scheduled to premiere on May 3 and will be aired every Monday and Tuesday.
They are joined by "Once Again's" Lee Sang Yi and Geum Sae Rok from the "Class of Lies."
The "18 Again" actor is set to portray the top-notch medical student Hwang Hee Tae who exudes a mysterious and mischievous personality. At the Seoul National University College of Medicine, he met Kim Myung Hee, played by Go Min Si, the hard-working nurse who opted to stay alone in Gwangju and leave her family.
As mentioned above, "Youth of May" has been making it to the headlines after the broadcasting network teased viewers with stunning visuals.
