Living with alcohol, Choi Soo-young, Kim Sang-ho, and Jo Yoon-hee are taking on the challenge of staying sober with the support of Gong Myoung and Kim Sung-ryung.
The new tvN drama "Second Shot at Love," which will premiere on May 12 (Mon.) at 8:50 p.m., has raised expectations for the sober challenge of the five characters through the comprehensive preview and character teaser videos.
The comprehensive preview video released on the 30th humorously depicts the daily lives of the three family members—Han Geum-joo (played by Choi Soo-young), Han Jeong-soo (played by Kim Sang-ho), and Han Hyeon-joo (played by Jo Yoon-hee)—who cannot live a day without alcohol. Han Geum-joo, who initially denies reality by saying, "I'm not an alcoholic," soon reveals her true self as a drinker during a family gathering, while her mother, Kim Kwang-ok (played by Kim Sung-ryung), issues a stern warning alongside a shocking notice that prints "No drinking for these three!" all over town, causing laughter.
Amidst the rumors surrounding Han Geum-joo's inability to quit drinking, her first love, Seo Ui-joon (played by Gong Myoung), quietly comforts her, saying, "Let's stop criticizing blindly without understanding." Seo Ui-joon's warm words provide great comfort to Han Geum-joo and lead to her sincere determination: "I want to quit drinking and live properly again. Ui-joon, please help me." This sets the stage for Han Geum-joo's heartwarming and comedic journey to maintain sobriety.
In the character teaser video released today (the 2nd), the romance between Han Geum-joo, who has fled into alcohol, and Seo Ui-joon, who has escaped from alcohol, is portrayed more deeply, drawing attention to the entangled emotions between the two.
To survive in a world filled with men, Han Geum-joo diligently worked and drank, eventually facing a collapsed daily life. Meanwhile, Seo Ui-joon takes on the role of the head of the Bohyeon health center, earning strong trust as he is referred to as "God Seo" by the villagers. His heartfelt remark, "I thought that if we met again, you would be a much better person than now," hints at the tangled past between them.
Particularly, the scene where Seo Ui-joon confronts Han Geum-joo's reality through an alcohol lecture and the moment Han Geum-joo begins to feel the anxiety of possibly being a real alcoholic create anticipation for the changes that are about to unfold as the first broadcast approaches.
Thus, the comprehensive preview video realistically depicts the daily life of a family that cannot live without alcohol, launching the signal for the sober challenge, while the character teaser video highlights the process of Han Geum-joo and Seo Ui-joon reuniting with a common goal, shedding light on their emotional journeys. The beginning of this wave of change is already being eagerly awaited.
The new tvN drama "Second Shot at Love" depicts a romance drama about a woman, who considers herself a typical drinker, challenging her first sobriety after reuniting with her first love, who hates alcohol. It will premiere on May 12 (Mon.) at 8:50 p.m.
