Some dramas take years to see the light of day — and when they finally do, the wait somehow makes them feel even more special. That’s exactly the story behind “Summer Vacation,” the nostalgic teen romance starring Cho Yi Hyun and Jin Young, which has just dropped its first posters along with a long-awaited premiere date.

What’s “Summer Vacation” About?
The drama follows Kim Ha Yeon (Cho Yi Hyun), an ordinary 18-year-old high school girl who experiences something mysterious and magical during her summer vacation, before eventually returning to reality. Jin Young plays Jo Yu Gyeom, a boy her age who becomes part of this extraordinary journey. Think coming-of-age nostalgia mixed with a touch of fantasy — the kind of story that lingers long after the credits roll.
Interestingly, this isn’t a freshly shot project. “Summer Vacation” began filming back in 2022 and wrapped production in 2023, but its release date remained uncertain for years — until now.
