Is This the Most Heartfelt Korean Romance Movie of 2025?

Hey K-drama lovers! If you’re anything like me, you probably have a never-ending list of dramas and movies to watch. Well, get ready to add another one because You Are the Apple of My Eye is coming, and it’s going to hit you right in the feels! This upcoming Korean adaptation of the beloved Taiwanese film is set to premiere on February 21, and trust me, it’s one you won’t want to miss. 

Jung Jinyoung and TWICE Dahyun? Yes, Please!

First things first, let’s talk about the cast. Jung Jinyoung, who you might know from Police University and My First First Love, is playing the lead, Jin Woo. And making her acting debut is none other than TWICE’s Dahyun as Seon Ah! Yep, you read that right! Our K-pop queen is stepping into the acting world, and I can’t wait to see how she brings her character to life. The chemistry between these two already looks amazing in the newly released stills, showing Jin Woo’s playful personality clashing with Seon Ah’s studious nature. 

A Love Story That Will Tug at Your Heartstrings

If you love nostalgic love stories that make you laugh and cry at the same time, this one’s for you. You Are the Apple of My Eye is all about first love, the kind that stays with you no matter how many years pass. Jin Woo spends his high school days trying (and failing) to confess his feelings to Seon Ah. And just when you think they’ll end up together, life takes them in different directions. But don’t worry, fate has a way of bringing people back together! Years later, they reunite as adults, stirring up all those unresolved feelings. 

The Feels Are Real And So Are the Stunning Visuals!

The cinematography in this film is going to be absolutely breathtaking. Just take a look at the stills! One moment, you see Jin Woo shielding Seon Ah from the snow while she’s on the verge of tears, and in another, they’re quietly sharing a meal, their emotions practically jumping off the screen. This movie isn’t just about romance, it’s about the passage of time, the what-ifs, and the emotional rollercoaster of first love

What Makes This Movie Stand Out?

Let’s be real, there are always tons of romance movies coming out, but You Are the Apple of My Eye has something special. Unlike your typical high school romance, this one gives us a glimpse into how first love can evolve over time. It’s raw, heartfelt, and incredibly relatable. And with TWICE Dahyun making her big-screen debut, you just know the movie is going to bring in fans from all over the world! 

The Global Hype Is Real

Korean movies and dramas are more popular than ever, and this film is no exception. The original Taiwanese version was a massive hit across Asia, and now with this Korean remake, even more fans will get to experience its magic. Plus, let’s not forget the power of K-pop, Dahyun’s international fanbase will definitely be tuning in to see her shine on the big screen.
