From Drinking Buddies to Awkward Strangers: See Sooyoung & Gong Myoung’s New K-Drama Twist

Hey K-drama bestie, have you seen the latest stills from tvN’s upcoming Kdrama, “Second Shot at Love”? If not, buckle up, because they’re giving us all the feels. From high school throwbacks to awkward grown-up reunions, these pics are basically screaming, “You’re gonna fall hard for this one!” 

Whether you’re already a fan of Gong Myung’s movies and TV shows, or you’ve just stumbled into the emotional tornado that is his acting style, this is a drama to watch. 

Back to When It All Started

Let’s start with the high school stills. Sooyoung and Gong Myoung look ridiculously adorable in their uniforms. Sooyoung’s character, Geum Ju, is all bright-eyed and full of life, looking at Ui Jun (Gong Myoung) like he’s her favorite person in the world. And his soft expression? Yeah, you know there’s history there. It’s sweet, it’s simple, and it hits that nostalgic nerve we all have for first loves and simpler times. 

The Drinking Buddies Phase We Know Too Well

Then the vibe totally shifts. 

The next set of stills shows the two during their prime “drinking buddy” days. You can tell this was a core part of their bond, when everyone else is passed out, they’re still there, side by side, with their giant glasses of alcohol. It’s that kind of quiet connection, where you don’t even have to talk to feel close. Super relatable if you’ve ever had that one friend who always got you during those messy, late-night conversations. 

Fast Forward to the Awkward Present

Now fast forward to the present, and ouch. The tea instead of alcohol, the awkward silences, the tight shoulders… you can feel the distance between them. It’s not just about quitting drinking; it’s about facing everything they avoided before. This kind of tension? You don’t get it unless there was something real there to begin with. 

For anyone who’s been through a falling-out with someone close, this hits deep.

Why We’re All In

Honestly, these stills are doing their job. They’re pulling us in, making us curious about how things ended between Geum Ju and Ui Jun, and whether they can fix what broke. If you’ve watched Gong Myung’s dramas and movies, you already know he’s going to crush this role. Sooyoung, too, her expressions in these pics say so much without a single word. 

Don’t Miss This One

So yeah, if you’re looking for something real, raw, and still full of heart, Second Shot at Love should be on your watchlist. It drops May 12, and I’m already counting down. Want to cry, laugh, and scream into your pillow with me? You know where to find me.
