Ha Yoo-joon and Park Ji-hoo welcome their Spring of Youth

A new semester has arrived for SBS’s campus romance Spring of Youth as dreams, love, and music blossom for our young adults. Starring Ha Yoo-joon (Namib) as former pop star Sa-gye and Park Ji-hoo (Little Women) as music major Kim Bom, a twist of fate throws these two individuals together as they strive for a brighter future.

After getting kicked out of his idol group unceremoniously, Sa-gye attends university where he first lays eyes on Kim Bom. In the latest teaser, Sa-gye narrates, “Having someone believe in you is explosive like dynamite!” He stares at Bom under a tree and plays his guitar to an excited crowd, reflecting the sentiment of his words. However, Sa-gye isn’t the only one who seems to hold a torch for our leading lady.

As the teaser continues, we hear Bom’s narration next: “I want to make music with someone on the same wavelength as me.” She plays the piano while Sa-gye accompanies her on the guitar and then runs across campus with a wide grin on her face. Bom rocks out with her bandmates as they busk on the sidewalk, and the teaser moves on to the third leg of this trio.

Lee Seung-hyeop (Love Next Door) plays guitarist Seo Tae-yang who narrates, “My happy place was the stage where I played music. That’s why I’m leaving to go do what I want.” Scenes of Tae-yang with his bandmates flash on screen before the teaser switches to him walking through a crowd with a determined expression.

As Bom takes off her mascot head, Sa-gye stares at her absolutely smitten while she declares that he will be her next project. She asks if everyone is ready to rock the stage, and as if answering her question, Sa-gye replies, “I want to be in a band with you for a long time.”

Directed by PD Kim Sung-yong (My Dearest) with scripts penned by Kim Min-chul, SBS’s Spring of Youth will drop its first two episodes Tuesday, May 6, then Wednesday, May 7, with subsequent episodes airing every Wednesday.

This looks exactly how I like my campus romances plots to be light on angst and heavy on fun times. I want the only drama to be the stress of prioritising life to meet assignment deadlines and negotiating new relationships. Slice of life romance with some humour sprinkled on top I will be happy.

I notice we are getting more guitar indie/rock soundtracks with My Dearest Nemesis, Lovely Runner, Twinkling Watermelon and this one sounds like it will also be going down this route. I wonder if this reflects the music tastes of the younger generations rather than the idol/pop music or trot tunes that are often featured in the dramas I watch or as background music.

Believe it or not @reply1988 but I will be there with you for SBS’s SPRING OF YOUTH.
Plusses: availability on Viki US, university setting not high school, attractive young cast which all are dramatic blank slates for me with the exception of Park Ji-hoo who appeared back in 2019 in the wonderful JTBC drama BEAUTIFUL WORLD and frankly I don’t recall her performance.

O/T. Viki US will have available 2 other dramas I plan to watch: KBS’s PUMP UP THE HEALTHY LOVE and Siwan’s 2023 Coupang Play drama BOYHOOD.

Viki is back to being the place to watch quality K dramas. For a few months it didn't seem to have many of the drams I wanted to see but recently all the key dramas were showing up there. Whichever streaming site had Tangerines was getting my subscription but hopefully I can stick to Viki as my main site again.

Only Netflix is streaming Tangerines. Every other site that streams it is pirated.

Exactly, that’s why I had to sign up to Netflix temporarily just to make sure I saw it in the best quality and my viewing would be counted in the International ratings for the show.

One thing I find interesting on the availability front at the present time is that SBS’s SOY and KBS’s PUMP UP are NOT currently on Kocowa’s “Coming Soon” list. If Viki can now deal directly with the big 3 networks (KBS, SBS and MBC) for drama licensing and not have to go through the Kocowa gatekeeper I can only see that as a positive.

Do Viki and Kocowa have the same dramas? I have subscribed lately to kocowa and I wonder If I shouldn't have.

@kobssessed, that is a difficult question to answer. The shortest answer is probably: sometimes.
Your question might have opened up an interesting conversation of the Fan Wall.

Looking forward to watch Park Ji Hoo. I first saw her in All of Us Are Dead, and I was so impressed. Then I found out she was only 18 at the time...EIGHTEEN!!!
Viki will be carrying this title.
