Our Beloved Summer

About

"A Bittersweet Rewind: Re-recording the Summer of Youth" Our Beloved Summer is a tender, relatable, and visually poetic romantic comedy that explores the lingering echoes of first love. Starring the incredible duo Choi Woo-shik and Kim Da-mi, the story follows Choi Ung and Guk Yeon-su, two high school ex-lovers who swore never to see each other again. However, a documentary they filmed ten years ago suddenly goes viral, forcing them to stand in front of the camera once more. As they navigate their awkward reunion, hidden scars, and unspoken feelings, they realize that the "summer" of their lives hasn't ended yet. It is a masterpiece of storytelling that captures the mundane yet beautiful moments of growing up and falling in love. The series is famous for its "Soft Aesthetic" and nostalgic cinematography. The filming locations are a love letter to the quiet, charming corners of Korea—from the sun-dappled alleyways of Suwon’s Hwaseong Fortress to the cozy, art-filled studios and retro neighborhood bookstores. The visuals are drenched in the colors of summer: lush greens, bright blues, and warm golden hours, making every frame feel like a cherished memory. It is a journey through the heart of youth, set against backdrops that feel both timeless and intimate.
