Actor Lee Joo Myung is set to shine in a new role in the upcoming drama My Youth (working title). Produced by High Zium Studio, Lee will take on the character of Mo Tae-rin, a popular actress who began her journey in the entertainment industry as a child actor. Viewers can expect an emotional romance as she brings her character to life.

My Youth tells the touching story of Sun Woo-hae (played by Song Joong Ki), who starts living a normal life a little later than most, and Seong Je-yeon (played by Chun Woo Hee), who has to shake things up with her first love for her own success. The drama explores how the two characters reunite with their first love after enduring tough times, creating a beautiful narrative of youthful energy more than ten years later.

In the drama, Lee Joo Myung will portray Mo Tae-rin, who is managed by Seong Je-yeon. Mo Tae-rin, a "motae" (a person born into the entertainment world), has grown from a child star to a successful adult actress. A surprising twist in the story brings her back together with her school-day first love, raising excitement among fans for the unique romance that Lee will present as Mo Tae-rin.

Lee Joo Myung has recently been making waves in both film and television. She has shown off her wide-ranging talents in various projects like National Wife, Missing: They Were There, Kairos, Check the Event, and Twenty-Five Twenty-One, earning praise for her ability to immerse herself in different characters. Most recently, she impressed audiences with her delicate acting in the ENA drama Flowers Bloom in the Sand and the film Pilot.

My Youth is directed by Lee Sang-yeob, known for hits like Yumi’s Cells, The Wife I Know, and Shopping King Louie, with a script by Park Si-hyun, who gained attention for the drama Run On. Fans can look forward to this exciting new drama, which is set to air in 2025!
