Korean dramas have a way of blending romance and fantasy into unforgettable stories, and Way Back Love is no exception. This upcoming TVING drama, set to premiere on April 3, 2025, is expected to bring a mix of love, loss, and second chances. With Gong Myung and Kim Min-Ha leading the cast, the drama will explore the idea of love and romance with looming death.
While you wait for new episode of Way Back Love Kdrama, here is what we know about this drama so far.
A Story of Love Beyond Death
The drama follows Jung Hee-Wan (Kim Min-Ha), a 24-year-old woman who has lived in solitude after facing multiple hardships in her life. One day, she discovers she has only one week left to live. Just as she tries to accept this shocking revelation, she meets Kim Ram-Woo (Gong Myung), her childhood friend and first love. But this isn’t a normal childhood lover meets the adult girl love story. Ram-Woo died six years ago.
Now, as a grim reaper, Ram-Woo reappears in Hee-Wan’s life. Instead of just watching her fate unfold, he joins her in fulfilling her bucket list, making every moment count before her time runs out. As they both try checking off wishes from the bucket list—they rediscover love, heal past wounds, and confront the bittersweet nature of life itself.
The drama full of loveable cast
Fans have eagerly awaited Gong Myung’s return to the small screen. The actor, known for his roles in Lovers of the Red Sky and Be Melodramatic, steps into a deeply emotional role as Ram-Woo. His portrayal of a grim reaper with a lingering connection to the human world is expected to bring both warmth and heartbreak.
Meanwhile, Kim Min-Ha, who gained international recognition for Pachinko, takes on the complex role of Hee-Wan. Her performance will be crucial in conveying the depth of a character who must embrace life even as she faces its end.
Is Way Back Love Kdrama based on Webtoon
The drama is the adaptation of the popular web novel ‘One Week Before I Die’ written by Seo Eun-Chae.
Unlike many fantasy K-dramas that focus on grand mythical elements, Way Back Love is said to be rooted in human emotions and personal relationships.
The original web novel by Seo Eun-Chae, published by Golden Bough in March 2018, resonated with readers for its introspective take on mortality, love, and the fleeting nature of time.
TVING’s adaptation is expected to stay faithful to the novel’s core themes while bringing them to life on the screen. The drama isn’t just about romance; it explores the importance of cherishing every moment, a message that is both timely and universal.
With its unique storyline, powerful cast, and emotional themes, Way Back Love is shaping up to be one of the most moving dramas of 2025. As the premiere approaches, expectations are high for a series. What makes this expectation high is how the Way Back Love Kdrama will end. Some believe that as we are aware of Kim Min-Ha’s fate in the drama, the ending might be sad one. But who knows things might end up differently. We will have to wait for April 3 to know more, as the episodes of Way Back Love start airing.
