On September 6th, the MBC drama "My Lovely Sam Soon", the beginning of the wavve New Classic Project, will be released in high definition in 2024.

"My Lovely Sam Soon" which caused syndromes in romantic comedy and pastry, gained popularity through unconventional attempts such as a realistic open ending, featuring a female protagonist who changed the standards of beauty and won work and love independently.

"My Lovely Sam Soon" gained huge popularity at the time due to the meeting between Kim Sun-a, who played the role of Kim Sam-soon, who is considered a 'realistic empathetic character' and a talented, high school graduate, and Hyun Bin, who gained popularity with "Nonstop 4", and Jung Ryeo-won, who became the epitome of an ex-girlfriend through the work and is still talked about.

wavve and CGV then reported that Kim Sun-a, Jung Ryeo-won, and director Kim Yoon-chul will gather in one place for the first time in 19 years.

On September 5th, Kim Sun-a and Jung Ryeo-won will have a press conference. They will then attend the fan preview of "My Lovely Sam Soon" on the same day and have a GV session with fans.

CGV is also attracting viewers from the past of "My Lovely Sam Soon" by holding a comment event through its official social media account.

Netizens are full of anticipation for the reunion of this drama.

Kim Sun-a's luxury performance, which realistically showed the 'then' Korea, which treated her as a spinster even though she was 29 years old, and Jung Ryeo-won's 'legendary GIF' of crying in the parking lot, which is still mentioned for her beautiful visuals, are also mentioned.

Netizens who are new to "My Lovely Sam Soon" show their surprise by saying that a character like Kim Sam-soon is the ideal kind of woman these days.

Jung Ryeo-won who recently received great love for tvN's "The Midnight Romance in Hagwon", is also receiving enthusiastic responses. Netizens are saying that it's like watching the past of star instructor Seo Hye-jin.

While the two have predicted a full-fledged reunion, Kim Sun-a's still-recent visuals are drawing attention.

Kim Sun-a expressed her anticipation of Kim Sam-soon's rebirth.

Meanwhile, wavve said the 2024 version of "My Lovely Sam Soon" has been reorganized into eight 60-minute episodes of the existing 16-episode drama, reflecting the current viewing trend.

wavve explained that it strengthened the narrative of the main characters and added an ending with a so-called 'hook' to enhance the sense of immersion. In addition, it has been upgraded to OTT series such as improving image quality and sound quality and providing subtitles.
