Upcoming web drama Somehow 18 teases a sweet, nostalgic first love story tinged with tragedy and a time-slip element. Shinee’s Min-ho will headline as an attractive, chic medical resident who was a bullied loner during his high school days. He somehow finds a way to go back in time, and chooses to relive the worst period of his life in order to save his first love. This first love will be played by Lee Yubi, whose innocent outer appearance belies a quirky, direct personality. Her character is described as the hero’s savior when he was an outcast high-schooler, and she also holds many secrets.
In the latest teaser, a melancholic older Min-ho pictures his high school first love as he remembers her, and then we see them together acting all coupley and cute after Min-ho goes back in time. I know this is the hero post-time travel because his hair is sleek and neat, and he isn’t wearing glasses. He teases that they must be girlfriend and boyfriend if she agrees that he’s “bought” her affection, though she counters that he’s getting too far ahead of himself. She narrates that he’s starting to look attractive and that she predicts she’ll keep thinking about him.
Things take a more serious turn when a bus ominously loses control on the road as our heroine’s narration continues, “Suddenly, I got scared. That this happiness will disappear, like bubbles.” The teaser ends with Lee Yubi smiling in happier days and the words “Today, my first love… died.”
Somehow 18 will begin its run on Naver TV starting August 28, and will be releasing episodes daily from Monday through Friday.
