tvN’s upcoming drama “Serendipity’s Embrace” has shared a sneak peek of Chae Jong Hyeop and Kim So Hyun’s fateful reunion!
Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, “Serendipity’s Embrace” will tell the story of young people finding true love and their dreams after accidentally running into their first love from 10 years ago.
Kim So Hyun will star as Lee Hong Joo, an animation producer who is afraid of love due to painful memories from her previous relationship. Chae Jong Hyeop will star as Kang Hoo Young, a financial planner living in the United States who is bored with his dull and meaningless life—until he returns to Korea for the first time in a long while and unexpectedly reunites with Lee Hong Joo, his first love from high school, after 10 years.
In the newly released preview, Kang Hoo Young is nonchalantly waiting for a blind date when Lee Hong Joo unexpectedly saunters in and takes the seat across from him. “You’re here for a blind date, right?” she asks with a cheerful smile. “Hello, I’m Hye Ji’s friend. My name is Lee Hong Joo.”
Shocked at seeing Lee Hong Joo for the first time in a decade, Kang Hoo Young takes off his sunglasses as he recalls his past memories of Lee Hong Joo from high school. “Lee Hong Joo,” he says in disbelief. “Is it really you?”
But before the confused Lee Hong Joo can figure out what he means, Kang Hoo Young’s actual blind date arrives—and Lee Hong Joo suddenly realizes that her own blind date is sitting on the other side of the room.
Getting up from her seat in horror, Lee Hong Joo hurriedly exclaims, “I mistook you for the wrong person. I hope the two of you have a wonderful time together!” She then rushes off to greet her blind date as Kang Hoo Young wistfully watches her go.
“Serendipity’s Embrace” premieres on July 22 at 8:40 p.m. KST and will be available on Viki. In the meantime, check out the new preview below!
