Kim Da Mi and Choi Woo Sik's newest romance comedy drama "Our Beloved Summer," which recently premiered, is well-received by the public, generating a lot of buzz not only in South Korea but also in Asia.
Kook Yeon Soo (Kim Da Mi) and Choi Woong (Choi Woo Sik) deliver a pleasant and refreshing performance and stories that hit closer to home. Their love-and-hate relationship which is drawn back and forth between the past and the present engross viewers to anticipate the drama until the end.
In this regard, the production unit of Monday and Tuesday drama "Our Beloved Summer" dished out three sympatethic real-life moments of the drama, which resonate a lot with the viewers.
1. Reminiscing Childish Yet Cute Memories of Love
In the first episodes of "Our Beloved Summer," Kook Yeon Soo's boss Jang Do Yul (Lee Jun Hyuk), who appeared in the restaurant wearing the same clothes as her, shared that he had never experienced wearing a couple shirts.
This brought back some memories for Kook Yeon Soo, who once wore a cute couple tee in an exhilarating amusement park date with her boyfriend at that time, Choi Woong. Although it may seem childish, the two ex-lovers loved doing everything together.
2. The Love and Breakup Dilemma
Since the drama paces back and forth from the past to the present, viewers witnessed how Kook Yeon Soo and Choi Woong became friends from being mortal enemies, until they became high school sweethearts.
However, like most relationships, theirs also failed. The two broke up after five years of being together, and the two of them had very opposite reactions and ways to deal with the breakup.
While Choi Woong suffers from its aftereffects, almost nearing to give up on life, Kook Yeon Soo returns to her original daily life as if nothing happened.

However, in the third episode, Kook Yeon Soo locks herself in the bathroom and cries her heart out. For some viewers who experienced this, the epilogue scene made people weep as they reminisce about their relationships, too.
3. Exes' Reunion Full of Wrath and Regrets
Who would ever want to meet their ex-lover, especially in the moment of weakness? For Kook Yeon Soo and Choi Woong, they didn't have any choice.
The two once again meet after Yeon Soo asks Woong for help for something very important. And in return, Woong asks Yeon Soo to film another documentary with her once more.
However, in episode 4, a memory triggers the two characters' pain receptors when she finds a painting that left traces of ruin with a correction fluid. Like a broken heart, a simple correction fluid or time can never mend it.

Despite their objection, it's crystal clear that Woong and Yeon Soo both still have feelings for each other still but their anger towards each other overpowers their love, making them both bitter about the breakup like what most people are.
