Lee Do Hyun (18 Again) has been offered a starring role in the new Korean drama Youth of May. Youth of May is about a troublemaker medical student and a hardworking nurse who get caught up in the Gwangju Uprising of 1980.
Lee Do Hyun would play the medical student. Also considering a lead role is Go Min Si (Secret Boutique) who play the nurse.
Youth of May has plans to air in the first half of 2021 on KBS.
I had to google the Gwangju Uprising of 1980, as I was four years old in that year. But wow, that is one heck of a dramatic setting to put a drama in. I read that an estimated 2000 people died during that time. Will be interesting to see where this show is going to take us🤔
A Taxi Driver, an excellent Korean movie, is also set during the same event.
Okay, thank you for the recommendation! I will add it to my list of things to watch!😀
Yes, I too am curious to see where the drama takes us. It was a serious time and could make for a very dramatic backdrop for the story. I haven’t seen the movie A Taxi Driver that Snow Flower mentioned above, but I’ve heard it’s really good, so maybe something we should both check out 🙂
Haha, yeah I just replied to Snow Flower that I have definitely added that one to the list. Now the problem is finding it😀😀😀
That is always the challenge! hehe
Sandglass, the hit classic from 90s is also set partly in this time period. It’s really good too.
Thanks so much for the recommendation! Adding it to the (way too long) to watch list😊
