Why is everyone talking about Lee Jae Wook’s double role?

The Buzz Around “Last Summer”
Before its release, Last Summer had already become one of the most talked-about K-dramas of 2025.
Fans were waiting eagerly — and why not? It stars two brilliant actors: Lee Jae Wook and Choi Sung Eun, who are known for their deep, expressive performances.
The drama officially premiered on November 1, 2025, and airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 PM KST on KBS2.
And yes — for those watching outside Korea, you can catch it on Viki, Wavve, or even Netflix (depending on your region).
So, if you’re from India, set your reminder for 5:50 PM IST every weekend. Perfect timing for your cozy evening drama watch!
The Story — Where Love Meets Memories
Now let’s talk about the story — kyunki yahi hai show ka dil.
Set in a peaceful little place called Patan Village, Last Summer follows Song Ha Kyung (Choi Sung Eun) — a civil servant tired of her monotonous small-town life.
She dreams of leaving her hometown behind, but destiny has other plans.
One day, her calm life is turned upside down when she crosses paths with someone she thought she’d never see again — Baek Do Ha (Lee Jae Wook).
Sounds normal? Wait till you hear this — Do Ha isn’t the only one. He has a twin brother, Baek Do Young, and both are played by Lee Jae Wook himself!
Years ago, these twins lived separate lives after their parents’ divorce — one abroad with their mother, the other in Korea with their father.
Every summer, Do Ha would return from the U.S. for just 21 days, and during one such summer, his friendship with Ha Kyung turned into something deeper… something unforgettable.
But one summer, something happened — something that broke their bond forever.
Neither spoke about it again.
Until now.
The Return That Changed Everything
As the story begins, Do Ha returns to Korea for good.
Old memories resurface, buried emotions awaken, and Ha Kyung finds herself torn between moving on and holding on.
But here’s where things get interesting — a lawyer named Seo Su Hyeok (played by Kim Gun Woo) steps into their story.
He’s charming, calm, and soon finds himself caught between their complicated past and unpredictable present.
So now the question is — will Ha Kyung’s heart choose the warmth of old love, or the peace of something new?
What Makes “Last Summer” So Special?
You know, every year dozens of romantic K-dramas release — but Last Summer feels different.
Why? Because it’s not just about love. It’s about memories, timing, and the pain of growing apart from someone who once meant everything.
The cinematography captures that gentle, bittersweet feeling of summer — the warm sunlight, the quiet houses, the emotional silences between conversations.
Lee Jae Wook shines in his double role — the contrast between the two brothers is so beautifully acted that you’ll almost forget it’s the same person.
And Choi Sung Eun? She’s a powerhouse. Her expressions, her calm yet emotional presence — everything feels so real.
Together, they create moments that speak louder than words.
What to Expect from Episode 1 & 2
Episode 1 was all about reintroducing the characters — their past, their pain, and the emotional distance that still lingers.
Episode 2, which airs this weekend, will dive deeper into their complicated bond.
Expect:
- Emotional flashbacks that reveal what actually happened that summer,
- A few intense confrontations,
- And a slow rekindling of something that never really died.
Also, fans are curious — will Do Ha’s twin brother Do Young play a bigger role in upcoming episodes?
And how will Seo Su Hyeok’s feelings affect this delicate triangle?
These are the questions Episode 2 might just start answering.
