However, destiny has other plans as it thwarts Im Sol into a time-traveling situation. She wakes up in a classroom 15 years back - the time before her and Sun-jae's tragic events happened. Sol sees an opportunity in this situation and decides to change her and Sun-jae's fate.
The show's leading star, Byeon Woo-seok, is all set to embark on his first fan meet Asia tour SUMMER LETTER. It will kick-start in Taipei in June 2024, further moving to Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Seoul.
