The new drama "Shining" has released its first teaser video. The new Friday series "Shining" on JTBC, which will premiere in Korea on March 6, depicts the process of young people who shared a world of just the two of them, trusting each other and becoming the very "light" that illuminates the direction of their lives. Attention is already focused on GOT7's Jinyoung, who plays the subway driver Yong Tae-so, and Kim Min-ju, a former hotel staff and manager from IZ*ONE, who plays Mo Una. The released video captures the shining days of Yong Tae-so and Mo Una at the age of 19, evoking fresh emotions just by watching. It shows their happy past memories, such as spending time together in the school library, riding bicycles in their uniforms on country roads, and lying side by side in a snowy field holding hands. However, the two eventually leave behind those joyful days and spend lonely times after their separation, which is striking. Mo Una's wistful gaze reflected in the train window and Yong Tae-so wiping his tears like a child evoke a sense of sadness. Furthermore, scenes of them desperately rushing towards each other and embracing strongly in the middle of the road continue, stirring the hearts of viewers. The overlapping voices of the two, who exchange words after a long time, heighten expectations for the story. In this way, "Shining" foreshadows the reunion of Yong Tae-so and Mo Una, who were once the brightest existence for each other, after a long period of separation. As Mo Una's words, "I wanted to see you at least once," suggest, attention is drawn to whether the two, who still hold onto those days in their hearts, can once again become each other's light. The new JTBC Friday series "Shining" will air its first and second episodes back-to-back on March 6 at 8:50 PM.
