Amnesia or Just Brutally Unbothered?

The stills are out for MBC’s new drama, and the vibe is… awkward. Chae Jong Hyeop’s character, all sunshine and summer vacation energy, has apparently been holding a torch for seven whole years. The reunion? Not exactly what he pictured.

He shows up, probably with a heart full of hope and a carefully rehearsed speech. And Lee Sung Kyung’s character looks at him with the blank, polite stare you reserve for a stranger who might be selling you solar panels. The man is a ghost from her past. She just doesn’t seem to care.

Was it a tragic accident, a deliberate choice, or is she simply the queen of the petty freeze-out? The drama is banking on us needing to know. Someone check on Chae Jong Hyeop, because this level of being forgotten has to sting.
