The first teaser of the drama was released today via J Wide Company’s Instagram handle. In the short teaser, we get an overview of what to expect in the upcoming series. Jang Dong-yoon, Seol In-ah, Choo Young-woo are the lead actors in the story, and the plot revolves around their friendship. The three of them take up the roles of young students in South Korea, a time when the country was facing a great deal of social problems.

The drama will be set during the unsettling years of the 1980s and 1990s in South Korea. During that time, society was in shambles, and people’s intentions were questionable. The three young friends will have to withstand the test of time in an era filled with wrong social values.

Lee Du-hak, a poor high school student who is known for his compassionate and charming personality falls in love with Oh Jung-shin, a transfer student from Seoul. The young lovers’ lives soon go south when Lee Du-hak gets himself involved in dangerous situations which lead to conflicts. To avenge his father’s death, the young man becomes a “political ganster”, which makes his life worse. The helpless student is sent to prison, and his life changes forever.
