Sooyoung Transforms Into A Mechanic With A Love For Drinking In New Drama “Second Shot At Love”

Apr 09, 2025

tvN’s upcoming drama “Second Shot at Love” has unveiled a sneak peek of Sooyoung’s character!

“Second Shot at Love” is a rom-com that follows Han Geum Joo (Girls’ Generation’s Sooyoung), a self-proclaimed “reasonable drinker” who unexpectedly reunites with her first love Seo Eui Joon (Gong Myoung)—a man who despises alcohol—and decides to take on the challenge of quitting alcohol.

Sooyoung plays Han Geum Joo, a seasoned mechanic with 10 years of experience at the country’s top car company. Known for her ability to fix any issue with just a wrench, Han Geum Joo is also a regular at after-work drinking sessions, earning her a reputation as a true drinker. She excels at her job and enjoys a good drink, making her social life flourish.

The newly released photos capture Han Geum Joo’s mix of professionalism and everyday drinking life. Her sharp focus on a vehicle diagnostic tool, along with her hair tied back and work clothes neatly fastened, exude the confident aura of a 10-year veteran mechanic.

In her daily routine, Han Geum Joo’s moments of enjoying a bottle of soju with cup noodles stand out. Her calm, almost indifferent expression suggests that alcohol is a familiar companion, like a close friend. For Geum Joo, a drink is both a habit and a source of comfort—something she feels incomplete without.

However, change begins to take shape for Han Geum Joo. Her first love, Seo Eui Joon, sincerely urges her to quit drinking, and unexpected events lead her to consider sobriety for the first time. This marks the start of her first attempt to quit drinking, raising curiosity about the turning point it may bring in her life.
