1. Kook Yeon Soo and Choi Woong's Fateful Love-and-Hate Relationship
In many cases, ex-couples never see each other again, even for work-related reasons. But for Yeon Soo and Woong, that's not the case.
Despite having been broken up, ex-lovers Yeon Soo and Woong once again see each other for a business contract at work and a sequel to their hit high school documentary.
Woong, when he sees Yeon Soo, acts cartoonishly childish and deliberately sprinkles salt on her. On the other hand, Yeon Soo couldn't believe how successful her lazy ex-boyfriend had become.

With that, the two become locked into an unceasing love-and-hate relationship as their fate reawakens a new chapter of their romantic story.
2. Regrets, Hatred and Lingering Romantic Feelings
Unbeknownst to ex-lovers Woong and Yeon Soo, both of them suffered from their sudden and messy breakup.
As they once again meet each other, Woong and Yeon Soo become aware of the effects of their unexpected reunion on them.
Although they both tried their best to hide the feelings they kept hidden for years, the unsaid feelings start to resurface that send their newly found "friendship" into catastrophe.
It all started when Woong poured out his feelings for Yeon Soo in front of her house late at night, all covered in tears. The kiss they shared during their work trip didn't help in suppressing the feelings they tried so hard to keep.
Clearly, the two haven't moved on one bit from each other even after five years. Instead of moving on, Woong and Yeon Soo just buried their pain and scars, and live as if they've never been hurt before.
3. Yeon Soo vs. Woong, Denial vs. Acceptance
The romantic kiss Yeon Soo and Woong shared under the pouring rain becomes their "turning point," after being stuck in a crossroad of what ifs.
Because of their unusual setup, Woong denies his romantic feelings for Yeon Soo and decides for them to be "just friends," which bugged the latter's heart to no end.
On the other hand, Yeon Soo cries after accepting, not only to herself but also to her grandmother, the fact that she still loves her ex-boyfriend.
As the two see a differentiated approach in co-existing, their feelings face turbulence as Kim Ji Woong (Kim Sung Cheol) and NJ (Noh Jung Ui) also take one step forward about their own unrequited love.
Catch the complicated yet entertaining love story of Kook Yeon Soo and Choi Woong on the latest episode of "Our Beloved Summer!" The drama airs every Monday and Tuesday at 10:00 p.m. KST on SBS TV.
