Chae Jong Hyeop And Kim So Hyun Have An Unusual First Encounter In "Serendipity's Embrace"

Jul 22, 2024

tvN’s upcoming drama “Serendipity’s Embrace” has amped up viewers’ excitement ahead of its premiere!

Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, “Serendipity’s Embrace” is an upcoming drama about young people finding true love and fulfilling their dreams after accidentally running into their first love from 10 years ago.

Kim So Hyun stars as Lee Hong Joo, an animation producer who is afraid of love due to painful memories from her previous relationship. After suffering due to the severe aftereffects of a difficult breakup, she unexpectedly runs into Kang Hoo Young (Chae Jong Hyeop), who witnessed some of her lowest moments from her past—and the chance reunion leads to a major change in her life.

The newly released stills capture Lee Hong Joo and Kang Hoo Young’s first encounter when they were high school students. In front of the school gate ahead, Lee Hong Joo takes Kang Hoo Young’s arm and puts it around her shoulder as if they are close friends. However, unlike their friendly-looking gesture, Kang Hoo Young gives Lee Hong Joo a weird look while trying to cover his name tag.

More photos below feature the sad facial expression of Lee Hong Joo, who gets caught by teacher Kim Bok Nam (Kim Won Hae) and gets scolded.

Another set of stills capture Lee Hong Joo and Kang Hoo Young’s reunion after 10 years. The two encounter each other at the blind date. Kang Hoo Young is completely taken aback to see his first love Lee Hong Joo at an unexpected time and place. However, unlike Kang Hoo Young, Lee Hong Joo appears to be calm, raising anticipation for their special story which will unfold in the future.
