Korean Drama Our Movie Premieres with Strong Ratings and Emotional Storyline

SBS’s latest melodrama, Korean drama Our Movie, has officially premiered, and it’s already striking a chord with viewers. The first episode, which aired on June 13, marked a promising start with a nationwide viewership rating of 4.2%, according to Nielsen Korea. The drama stars Namgoong Min and Jeon Yeo-bin, both known for their emotionally rich performances, and they return to the screen with a tear-jerking romantic story rooted in nostalgia and mortality.

The episode introduces viewers to Lee Jae-ha, a film director played by Namgoong Min, who is attempting to revive his career by remaking a classic film originally directed by his legendary father. While working on the film, Jae-ha meets Lee Da-eum (Jeon Yeo-bin), a bright yet terminally ill consultant. Their first encounter is quietly moving, especially when Da-eum, while filming scenery with a camcorder, softly says, “Because I might not be able to see it again.”
