TVING is set to release a new fantasy romance drama called "Way Back Love." The show features Kim Min Ha as Hee Wan, a 24-year-old woman who has withdrawn from society after facing deep despair. Just a week before her death, she encounters her childhood friend and first love, Ram Woo, played by Gong Myung, who appears as a grim reaper. The promotional materials for the series include a touching main poster and an engaging trailer. The main poster suggests a fateful connection between Ram Woo and Hee Wan, featuring a striking image of Hee Wan, who shows a mixture of sadness and nostalgia. The tagline, “My first love came back to find me as a grim reaper,” adds an intriguing layer to the plot. The trailer presents their story as it shifts between past and present.
