Apr 03, 2025

tvN’s upcoming drama “Second Shot at Love” has shared a peek inside its first script reading!

“Second Shot at Love” is a rom-com about a woman who considers herself to be a reasonable drinker. She reunites with a health center doctor, who is even harder to quit than alcohol, and takes on the challenge of quitting alcohol. The drama will be directed by Jang Yoo Jung of “Honest Candidate” and written by Myung Su Hyun and Jeon Ji Hyun, the creators behind the hit series “Ugly Miss Young Ae.”

Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung stars as Han Geum Joo, a mechanic with 10 years of experience whose life has gone off track due to alcohol. Her character strikes a balance between humor and real-life struggles.

Gong Myoung plays Seo Eui Jun, the head of a public health center and Han Geum Joo’s first love. Unlike her, he despises alcohol. Though he may seem cold at first, his warmth gradually shines through.

From the first script reading, the two actors brought a natural, playful dynamic to life, effortlessly shifting between heartfelt romance and sharp-witted tension. Their clashing values created electrifying intensity, while moments of emotional connection added excitement, building anticipation for their on-screen chemistry.

Kim Sung Ryung, Kim Sang Ho, and Jo Yoon Hee join the cast as a “heavy-drinking family,” adding humor and realism with their distinct drinking-related personalities.

Kim Sung Ryung plays a mother determined to quit drinking, balancing nagging and sincerity to keep viewers engaged. Kim Sang Ho portrays Han Jung Soo, a warmhearted father who sees alcohol as a way of life, while Jo Yoon Hee plays the relatable Han Hyun Joo, a worn-out mother who turns to alcohol for a break from parenting. Her performance brings a light yet realistic touch to everyday life.
