What We Know About My Youth, So Far
My Youth is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated K-dramas of Fall 2025. Described as a romantic comedy with healing and nostalgic undertones, the drama revolves around two individuals who reconnect in their 30s, facing love and regrets from their younger years.
The series is helmed by director Lee Sang Yeob, best known for Yumi’s Cells and A Piece of Your Mind, both praised for their heartfelt yet refreshing storytelling. The script is written by Park Si Hyun, who previously worked on Run On, bringing a warm, character-driven narrative style that perfectly suits this drama’s tone.
Together, the production team aims to create a drama that blends youthful romance with mature reflections on life, making it relatable for audiences of all ages promises comfort, a little heartache, and steady chemistry rather than loud slapstick.
My Youth Cast and characters
Along with the leads, Lee Joo-myoung (Like Flowers in Sand) plays Mo Tae Rin, a candid actor with bright energy, and Seo Ji Hoon (Revenge of Others) plays Kim Seok Joo, a tax accountant who shares a complicated past with Tae Rin.
This second couple adds a parallel line of love and growth that runs beside the main reunion.
Song Joong Ki’s Return to Rom-Com After Years
This project marks Song Joong Ki’s first full romance series in many years. After Descendants of the Sun in 2016, he moved through darker or genre-heavy roles such as Arthdal Chronicles, the black comedy legal hit Vincenzo, and the revenge saga Reborn Rich.
He also appeared in brief scenes in Little Women and made a cameo in Queen of Tears. He then shifted to films like the crime drama Bogota. My Youth brings him back to gentle romance as a leading man.
When and Where to Watch My Youth
JTBC broadcasts the show on Fridays beginning September 5, 2025, with two episodes each week.
Viki is carrying the series for global audiences, while Coupang Play streams it in Korea and Viu covers select regions. Check your local Viki or Viu page for availability in your country.
First look review
The early stills and clips suggest a romance that leans on gaze, silence, and shared history. Song Joong Ki’s character carries a calm sadness beneath an ordinary life. Chun Woo Hee’s role brings drive and spark that can disturb that calm in the best way. Their first meeting scene promises that mix of comfort and tension that longtime fans love.
The setup is classic second-chance love, but the details feel fresh. Making the male lead a florist and writer softens the usual star aura and gives the pair a quieter space to reconnect. The supporting couple adds a modern note, showing how adult love can be both bold and careful at the same time.
If the show keeps its gentle pace and clear character goals, it could be the kind of fall comfort watch that builds week by week, especially for viewers who want romance with grown-up choices.
