The upcoming film "Every Day, We," starring Kim Sae Ron and Lee Chae Min, is generating buzz as it explores the delicate and often awkward emotions of first love. Based on a popular webtoon, the movie follows the story of Ho Su (Lee Chae Min), who unexpectedly confesses his feelings to his childhood friend Yeo Wool (Kim Sae Ron) right before high school begins. This sudden confession, complete with a kiss, throws Yeo Wool off balance, leading her to react with anger and ultimately ending their friendship.
As fate would have it, the two find themselves in the same high school and even the same class on the first day, creating an unavoidable and potentially uncomfortable reunion. The film promises to capture the raw and honest emotions of youth navigating the confusing landscape between friendship and love. The story explores the vulnerability and uncertainty that comes with being seventeen, caught between what once was and what could be.
Adding to the dynamic are the characters of Ju Yeon (Choi Yu Ju), a best friend, and Ho Jae (Ryoo Ui Hyun), a senior, who become unexpectedly entangled in Ho Su and Yeo Wool's complicated relationship, creating further tension and excitement.
New stills released offer glimpses into the everyday lives of Ho Su and Yeo Wool as typical high school students, capturing the subtle yet significant emotions hidden within those ordinary moments. One still shows Yeo Wool caught in a sudden rain shower, pulling her uniform jacket over her head, a relatable moment for anyone who's forgotten an umbrella. Another captures Yeo Wool happily chatting with a friend, highlighting the excitement of forming new friendships at the start of a new school term. Ho Su is seen in a hidden spot within the school, creating a nostalgic image of secret hideouts and shared secrets with friends. Another image shows Ho Su gently helping Yeo Wool untangle her hair from a tree, hinting at the innocent and sweet beginnings of first love that can arise from unexpected mishaps.
The film is directed by Kang Yoon-soon and produced by Studio Dragon, Culture Depot and Showrunners.
"Every Day, We" is particularly poignant as it marks the final on-screen performance of the late Kim Sae Ron. This adds a layer of depth to the film's themes of coming-of-age and first love, making it a bittersweet experience for fans.
Originally slated to premiere in 2022, the film's release was delayed. "Every Day, We" is now set to hit theaters in March 2026.
