Review
Naver TV Cast and Youtube’s upcoming show Blue Birthday is releasing on July 23, 2021. However, on Youtube, the drama will make its debut on August 6, 2021. The good thing that it will be available to people living outside the South Korean region. Through, Youtube the fans of the two idols will be able to stream the drama. Blue Birthday will have 16 episodes, which will air every Friday and Saturday at 19:00 KST.
The fantasy romance drama will tell the story of the main actress, who will revisit the past through various photos left by her first love. Unfortunately, her first love died on her birthday 10 years ago.
10 years ago, Oh Ha Rin (Yeri- Red Velvet) lost her first love. She planned everything to confess to her friend, Seo Jun (Hongseok- Pentagon), on her birthday. But, to her surprise and horror, he ended up taking his own life. Now, Oh Ha Rin works at an abandoned pet shelter. However, on the 10th anniversary of Seo Jun’s death, she gets her hands on a bunch of photos that her first love has left behind. Ha Rin, whose painful memories were relighted again, decides to burn all the pictures. When she was burning the pictures, she suddenly realized she was back to the day she took the picture 10 years ago. The camera only has 8 pictures, so Ha Rin only has 8 chances to go back in time.
Ha Rin’s first love, Ji Seo Jun, looks bright and cheery on the outside. But, he has a darkness inside of him that no one has ever come across to. Ha Rin was the only one who gave him hope, and he started to develop feelings for her. On the very same day, just like Ha Rin, he was on his way to confess her when he met his sudden death in the photography room.
The teaser begins with Oh Ha Rin’s lock screen as the clock hit 12:00 am on June 10 on her phone. A series of notifications and messages start popping on her screen from her friends to wish her a happy birthday. She did not focus on them. However, later, she gets a “reminder,” which reads ‘the day Seo Jun passed.’ In the end, Yeri (Oh Ha Rin) speaks in a voiceover and says that on her unclear 18th birthday, her first love passed away. In the teaser, a polaroid picture of Ha Rin and Seo Jun is also visible as the two are dressed up in school uniforms.
The drama also stars Lee Sang Jun, who will play Cha Eun Seong, a reporter in the school affairs department. Previously, in school, he had a crush on Ha Rin. Kim Gyeol Yu will play do Soo Jin, Ha Rin’s roommate, and best friend. And Park Joo Hyun will appear as Kim Eu Yong, Soo Jin’s boyfriend.
