K-Drama Quick Preview: “Our Blooming Youth” Promises To Blossom A Unique Historical Romance Story

Our Blooming Youth promises romance and intrigue when it premieres on February 6!

Our Blooming Youth, a new Monday-Tuesday shows on tvN, is a mysterious theme drama that tells the story of a cursed prince while also investigating a family murder case, in which a brilliant girl is identified as the culprit. It also depicts a youth vindication romance. 

Here’s a quick peek at what to expect in the series.

The Plot Sketch

Lee Hwan, who will be played by Park Hyung Sik is a Joseon Crown Prince with a handsome face but a harsh and arrogant personality. He has all the perfect qualities including superb martial arts skills and outstanding intelligence that has an eidetic memory. But then, a mysterious curse bound him.

Facing a series of crises while questioning who is responsible for the curse, he works with Min Jae-yi (Jeon So Nee) to uncover the truth for the sake of mutual survival.

The Characters

Our Blooming Youth is expected to present a different romance as Lee Hwan and Jae-yi, who are walking a precarious tightrope between faith and disbelief, work together to find the hidden truth against the yoke of fate that binds them.

In a group poster revealed, the remaining cast members were introduced.

First, Pyo Ye Jin plays Ga-ram, Min Jae-yi’s investigation companion. Next, Yoon Jong Seok suits up as Han Sung-on, the grandson of a prestigious family who lost his fiancée; while Lee Tae Sun portrays Kim Myung-jin, Joseon’s greatest eccentric who knows almost everything. Rounding up the lead cast is Heo Won Seo as Tae-kang, a distant escort warrior who follows Lee Hwan wherever he goes.

You can get a glimpse of the bright smiles of the six people who are trying to pioneer their own lives instead of a given destiny. In particular, Crown Prince Lee Hwan, who is rarely seen smiling due to his tough personality, draws attention with a subtle smile on his face.

Interestingly, Min Jae-yi, an adopted member of a high-ranking family, is dressed as a man. Her partner Ga-ram also wears commoner clothing usually donned by men hinting at their intriguing mission.

The stories of Han Sung On, Kim Myung Jin, and Tae Kang, who have a special bond with one another that goes beyond their social and gender roles, are also highlighted.
