She loves her life but longs for the possibility something else. One of the biggest reasons that this drama is still loved is that Han Yeri’s performance of the complicated, conflicted Yeonwoo. The youth of today is still frustrated by the unchangeability of the conditions of life. Released in 2013, Yeonwoo’s Summer is a dreamlike fantasy as well as a coming-of-age drama. [CHOI Jieun]
