Upcoming K-Drama Way Back Love Set to Premiere on April 3
The highly anticipated TVING original drama Way Back Love has officially been confirmed to premiere on April 3. The streaming platform recently released a captivating teaser, offering a glimpse into the emotional and nostalgic journey of Kim Ram Woo, played by Gong Myung, and Jung Hee Wan, portrayed by Kim Min Ha. Through heartwarming visuals and a deeply emotional premise, the drama promises to deliver a touching tale that intertwines the past and present.
Way Back Love is a fantasy romance drama based on the popular Korean novel of the same name. The story follows Jung Hee Wan, a young woman who has lost her will to live and withdrawn into isolation. However, her quiet and lonely existence takes a surprising turn when she reunites with Kim Ram Woo, her childhood friend—except he is no longer the person she once knew. Ram Woo, who tragically passed away four years ago, now returns as a grim reaper with an urgent message for Hee Wan.
The drama explores the delicate intersection of past and present, capturing the innocence and excitement of youthful memories while contrasting them with the harsh realities of adulthood. A newly released poster adds to the nostalgic atmosphere, featuring Gong Myung and Kim Min Ha dressed in school uniforms, evoking memories of first love and youthful dreams. The image perfectly encapsulates the essence of the story—rekindled emotions, unresolved feelings, and the longing for a time that can never return.
The teaser video enhances the emotional depth of the drama. It begins on a lighthearted note, depicting a scene where a friend calls out to Kim Ram Woo. But instead of him, Jung Hee Wan turns her head, responding as if she instinctively knows it was meant for her. While Kim Ram Woo appears reserved and hesitant, Hee Wan takes the moment quite seriously, hinting at the complex emotions brewing beneath their childhood friendship.
However, the teaser quickly takes a dramatic turn, shifting from warmth and nostalgia to a somber reality. The once-spirited Hee Wan is shown lying motionless in a darkened room, a stark contrast to her past cheerful self. It is then that Kim Ram Woo reappears—no longer the boy from her memories but a grim reaper on a mission. Staring at him in shock, Hee Wan listens as Ram Woo solemnly tells her, “There’s something I absolutely need to tell you.”
With its unique blend of fantasy, romance, and heartfelt emotion, Way Back Love is set to be a deeply moving drama that explores themes of loss, fate, and second chances. While the series is confirmed to release on April 3 via TVING, details regarding its availability on international streaming platforms are yet to be announced.
