What’s Happening in Episodes 3-4?

The romantic tension intensifies as Do-ha joins the architectural team converting an old school into an observatory—the same project Ha-gyeong’s company is handling. Working side-by-side forces their shared history back into focus.

Expect emotional flashbacks revealing their younger years, including hesitant exchanges, developing feelings, and a significant kiss. The story explores their belief that confessing under the Summer Triangle on July 7th would guarantee a lasting relationship—a promise reality didn’t keep.

Despite maintaining emotional distance in the present, both characters show undeniable signs of concern for each other, proving their past isn’t as buried as they pretend.

The Story So Far

Last Summer follows twins Baek Do-ha and Baek Do-yeong (both played brilliantly by Lee Jae-wook), separated after their parents’ divorce. Do-ha was raised in the United States while Do-yeong stayed in South Korea. Each summer, Do-ha returned for 21 days, staying in a duplex with his father and brother.

Their neighbor Song Ha-gyeong (Choi Sung-eun) spent those summers trading barbs with Do-ha while secretly falling for him. Now adults—Do-ha as a gifted architect and Ha-gyeong as an architectural public official—a pivotal incident from two years ago irreversibly altered their lives and fuels the current conflict.

The premiere episodes delivered drama-packed moments: property disputes over their childhood “Peanut House,” cold confrontations, and a near-drowning rescue that unearthed painful memories stored in a box of keepsakes.
