I Know What You Did Last Summer

His fellow student Yeon-Su has known him since they were tenth grade, and she’s been pretty upset about it. She wants to be the number one student in the class. But Choi Ung is determined to stay number one.
The documentary filmmakers have placed two groups of students together, intent on filming their best and worst behavior for a month. But as it turns out, the two groups have different goals.

There are some hilarious scenes depicting this, from spilling food on one another to Ung laughing in class over a comic he’s reading.

The Episode Review
Summer started off on a good note with the introduction of our main characters and a quirky tone. There is good chemistry between the two leads and the episode balances the present and past well. ..
It’s been a little over a year since Ung and Yeon-Su last saw each other, but their reunion is already being billed as one of the most anticipated in Korean television history. It’s obvious that they’re going to get back together, but what happened between them is still up for interpretation. When did they start dating? And how did things end so badly between them? It’s just enough of a hook to keep things intriguing, but how this romantic drama will differentiate itself from numerous others of its kind remains to be seen.
The chemistry between the two leads is enough to keep this watchable. Ji-Ung’s story is certainly engaging too and it appears NJ’s inclusion is to set up a double love-triangle of sorts with our four main characters. It’s still early days but let’s hope this one leans more into its comedy.
