Kim So-hyun X Chae Jong-hyeop, from the first meeting of 19 to the reunion of the 29 blind date, coincidence → Will it be fate?
tvN 'Is it a coincidence?' Kim So-hyun and Chae Jong-hyeop reunite like fate.

tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Is it a coincidence?' (directed by Song Hyun-wook, scripted by Park Gro, planned studio Dragon, produced by IOK Company · Base Story, original Naver Webtoon 'Is it a coincidence?On the 8th, ' (Nam Ji-eun, Kim In-ho, Picture) released still cuts of Lee Hong-joo (Kim So-hyun) and Kang Ho-young (Chae Jong-hyeop), who will summon their first love memories. I wonder what kind of change a meeting that happened like a coincidence at nineteen and twenty-nine will bring to the two.

'Is it a coincidence?' is a first love memory recall romance in which a mean and clumsy first love meets 'accidentally' and falls in love again like 'fate'. Based on the Naver webtoon of the same name, the process of 19 boys and girls reuniting as 29 youth men and women to find their fate in countless coincidences is both exciting and pleasant. Director Song Hyun-wook and newcomer Park Groh, who showed sensuous and detailed production through 'Beauty Inside' 'Ooh Moo-young' and others, joined forces to add to the expectation.

In the meantime, the still cut released contains a timeline from 19 when the first love began to 29 when they met again. First, the first meeting in front of Lee Hong-ju and Kang Hu-young's school gate attracts attention. It is interesting to see the contrast between Lee Hong-joo, who smiles with Kang Hu-young's arms around her shoulders, and Kang Hu-young, who is pale. Kang Hu-young, who has a beautiful appearance and a bright brain, attracts people's attention no matter where he is, but he is a dry and cynical person. In contrast, Lee Hong-ju's nineteen was reckless and quirky. As such, Lee Hong-ju and Kang Hu-young, who were 19 years old, were so different. Lee Hong-joo's bold eyes as she hands a love letter to Kang Ho-young in front of the men's bathroom make them curious about their first love of 19.

Lee Hong-joo and Kang Hu-young, who reunited at a blind date for the first time in 10 years, were also spotted. Unlike Kang Hu-young, who was embarrassed by the unexpected appearance of a character, there is no change in Lee Hong-ju's expression, adding to the curiosity. In the following photo, Lee Hong-joo's sparkling eyes, holding Kang Ho-young's shoulder, remind him of his school days when he was going straight. Lee Hong-joo, who fell in love with her first love during her senior year of high school and became a 'love skeptic' due to the aftermath of her harsh breakup, meets Kang Hu-young again after 10 years of experience. Kang Hu-young also faces a strong wave of emotions, thawing the memories of her first love she forgot in Korea, which returned after 10 years. It raises questions about what will be hidden in the 19th of the two and what exciting changes these reunions will bring.

The chemistry between Kim So-hyun and Chae Jong-un, who will summon their first love memories, is drawing keen attention. Kim So-hyun said "The scene was always bright because Chae Jong-hyeop had a lot of laughter. I enjoyed filming with actor Chae Jong-hyeop, adding to the expectation. Chae Jong-hyeop seems to have drawn more lovable and attractive characters thanks to actor Kim So-hyun's role in "Hongju". Every scene with Hongju was fun and fun. Sometimes I relied on it," he said, raising expectations for extraordinary synergy.

Meanwhile, tvN's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Is it a coincidence?' will premiere at 8:40 p.m. on the 22nd.
