tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama "Is It a Coincidence?" (written by Park Gro, directed by Song Hyun-wook and Jung Kwang-sik) premiered on the 22nd. From the first meeting of Lee Hong-joo (Kim So-hyun) and Kang Ho-young (Chae Jong-hyeop) to the reunion of the 29th, the fate-repeated coincidence amplified expectations for romance recalling first love memories and captivated viewers' hearts at once. Above all, Kang Ho-young's confession ending, which appeared in front of Lee Hong-joo, who became a love skeptic, and defrosted the memory of her first love, which had been frozen for 10 years, raised the temperature of her excitement to the fullest. The chemistry between Kim So-hyun and Chae Jong-un, who doubled their excitement and empathy, was also highly praised.
Is it a coincidence that made viewers' hearts flutter with their inevitable first love?' The first-time viewership averaged 4.8% to 6.0% based on households in the metropolitan area, 3.9% to 4.9%, and ranked first in the same time period, including cables and general service, marking a good start.
Lee Hong-joo and Kang Ho-young, who turned 29 on this day, reunited on a blind date. The short meeting caused by Lee Hong-joo's mistake of mistaking her blind date summoned Kang Ho-young's memories of 19 years ago. Unlike himself, who recognized Lee Hong-joo at once, Kang Hu-young, who is looking like a stranger, is paying attention to Lee Hong-joo. He had another chance. He found Lee Hong-ju, who was waiting for a bus alone on his way home. Kang Hu-young had a strange feeling about Lee Hong-joo, who reminded her of her high school days. Kang Hu-young, who approached Lee Hong-ju, spoke naturally as if he were a group. When Lee Hong-joo listened to him calmly, Kang Hu-young said, `You don't know me?`````````I know, Kang Hu-young.``````````````````. After an accidental short meeting, I waited for Lee Hong-ju's contact, but he didn't come, and Kang Hu-young "I'm not happy at all. Who remembers what happened 10 years ago?" he said, feeling despondent.
Lee Hong-ju and Kang Hu-young's first meeting was at Obok High School 10 years ago. Kang Hu-young woke up Lee Hong-joo, who fell asleep on the bus on her way to school, and Lee Hong-joo, who tried to avoid being late under the excuse of Kang Hu-young, who injured her leg, ran into Kang Hu-young's iron wall and began a cheeky relationship. The relationship between the two continued. Lee Hong-joo served as a cupid for Kim Hye-ji (Kim Da-som), a "best friend" who has a crush on Kang Ho-young. Lee Hong-joo was caught by Kim Hye-ji, who said she would give her favorite author Bang Joon-ho (Yoon Ji-on)'s unit address, delivered a love letter instead, and faced Kang Hu-young again. Kang Hu-young was embarrassed by the unexpected situation for a moment, and hardened her face as if she were disappointed that the owner of the love letter was not Lee Hong-joo. It was a moment of awareness of Kang Hu-young's first love.
Ten years later, the welcome party of the alumni of Ohbok High School was held under the leadership of Kim Hye-ji, who was still curious about Kang. Kang Hu-young attended the welcoming party to meet Lee Hong-ju, who had not been contacted since the first reunion. After a long time, it was Lee Hong-joo, who was already drunk, who appeared in front of Kang Hu-young. Kang Hu-young, who was walking along drunk Lee Hong-ju, found out that his house was upstairs in his uncle Baek Wook's hideout. The continued coincidence between Lee Hong-ju and Kang Hu-young raised questions about the future relationship.
The nineteen-year-old Lee Hong-joo, who was sincere in love saying that "human only way to survive is love", has turned twenty-nine years later, shouting that love is a waste of time. Amid curiosity about the story, the 29-year-old Lee Hong-joo's violent refusal to meet the writer Bang Joon-ho, who claimed to be a big fan in his nineteen-year-old days, stimulated curiosity even more. In particular, Kang Ho-young's ending, which made a meaningful confession to Lee Hong-joo, who is pessimistic about his first love, saying that the expiration date ends as soon as his first love's freezing is released, raised his heart rate to the highest point. The two reunited as if they were coincidental and inevitable, keeping the memories of their first love. It added to the excitement of how the memories of his first love of nineteen, which began to thaw, will change for Lee Hong-joo and Kang Ho-young. Kang Ho-young's epilogue, which supports Lee Hong-ju's sleeping head with his hands, made them more curious about their first love of 19.
Meanwhile, tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Is it a coincidence?' The second episode will air at 8:40 p.m. on the 23rd.
