The changes of Choi Woo Shik and Kim Da Mi in 'Our Beloved Summer' are shaking the hearts of viewers.

From their first meeting in high school to their dating, parting, and reunioniting, Choi Woong and Kook Yeon Soo are writing a page of their youth together. Above all, their second romance chapter, which opened again after 5 years, gave a heartwarming excitement and gets everyone overly immersed in the story.

Let’s check out the shifts in the emotional state of Choi Woong and Kook Yeon Soo.

“Love-Hate Relationship” of the Two

Choi Woong and Kook Yeon Soo were brought back together for a business and a remind-documentary.

Like how Kim Ji Woong (Kim Sung Chul) once said, “It’s a thin line between love and hate,” the two opened the second chapter of their romance of love and hate. The scene where Choi Woong sprays water and salt on his ex Kook Yeon Soo, who showed up five years after their breakup, was childish yet frank.

Despite being thrown water and salt at, she had no other choice but to put on a smile for a business. Like this, Choi Woong and Kook Yeon Soo continued their bitter love and hate relationship.

Complex Emotions Entangled with Regret and Lingering Affection

Choi Woong was mad at Kook Yeon Soo for being “nonchalant,” and Kook Yeon Soo couldn’t say anything as she realized his misunderstanding and resentment.

And the two suffered the aftereffect of their reunion even more as time went on. They were thrown into the world of chaos as the emotions they’ve been repressing started to sneak out. All of this started with Choi Woong.

He visited Kook Yeon Soo’s house late at night and conveyed his sincerity with tears, and even kissed her out of the blue in a place where they visited to film the documentary. The pain, regret, and lingering affections they had were all poured out at once.

Choi Woo Shik’s “Denial” vs. Kim Da Mi’s “Awakening”‘

Their relationship that we thought would move forward after the kiss has only been stagnant. Feeling annoyed about Choi Woong not calling her, she visited his house after having too much to drink.

However, by that time, Choi Woong had decided that he didn’t want to date Kook Yeon Soo again but couldn’t live without seeing her. Denying his feelings for her, he suggested she be his friend.

Though she seemed baffled at his suggestion, she felt a part of her heart breaking. Her narration – “Guess I’ve never forgotten Choi Woong” followed out as she shed tears in her grandmother’s arms, hinting at her “awakening.” On top of that, Kim Ji Woong and NJ (Roh Jeong Eui)’s crush have only gotten deeper, raising curiosity over their relationships.

Meanwhile, 'Our Beloved Summer' is broadcast every Monday and Tuesday at 10 PM on SBS.

Lee Jun Young recently opened up about the emotional toll of playing a villain—and how one powerful scene made him break down in tears behind the scenes.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
