Escaping from the daily grind in new teaser for ENA’s Summer Strike

by missvictrix

ENA’s upcoming slice-of-life drama Summer Strike (a.k.a. I Don’t Feel Like Doing Anything) has just released a nice full teaser and with it a closer look at our main characters, played by Seolhyun (The Killer’s Shopping List) and Im Shi-wan (Tracer). The teaser is as refreshing as our main character’s escape to the countryside, and just like that this drama is at the top of my watchlist.

In the new teaser we see our heroine Lee Yeo-reum (Seolhyun) in the exhaustion of her daily grind, saying that she wakes up, goes to work, comes home, and then has to do it all over again. She seems worn thin, but everything suddenly changes when she heads to the countryside on what she calls a “life strike.”

We see Yeo-reum enjoying the scenery, jumping into the ocean, and gleefully getting a library card so she can read all day (how can you not love this girl!). She says she can do what she wants to now because she has the ultimate luxury: time.

When Yeo-reum gets her library card she meets librarian Ahn Dae-beom (Im Shi-wan), and we see the two of them getting to know each other by eating ice cream, hanging out, and going for a run or two (omg the scenery!). The townspeople don’t really know what to make of her, but Yeo-reum seems happy as a clam living her best life, chomping on lettuce and writing on the beach.

In a quick exchange between the two characters, Dae-beom says he belongs in that town, and Yeo-reum says she should stop worrying what other people think of her and just live her life. It’s on that note that the teaser closes, and we see Yeo-reum frolicking on the beach with a dog. Sign me up!

Written and directed by Lee Yoon-jung (The Lies Within, Coffee Prince) and Hong Moon-pyo, Summer Strike premieres on November 21 in ENA’s new Monday-Tuesday slot.
