The final work of the late director Ahn Pan-seok, 'Yeon Ae (Dr.)', will be released for the first time next month on the 5th.

On the 1st, Disney+ confirmed the premiere date as October 5 and unveiled two mood teasers.

'Yeon Ae (Dr.)' is a story that portrays the spicy, bitter, and sweet romance between two young people: Min-jae (Choo Young-woo), a doctoral student who was a swimmer in high school but lost one leg due to illness, and Yu-jin (Kim So-hyun), a master's student who lost her way and wandered before finding a new path. The two meet in a robotics research lab. It is also the final work of director Ahn Pan-seok, who passed away on the 12th of last month.

The two mood teaser videos released today capture the thrilling romance chemistry between Choo Young-woo and Kim So-hyun along with autumn sensibilities, drawing attention.

The first video shows the two walking together under an umbrella in the rain, followed by Min-jae's confession to Yu-jin: "You're like the sun to me. You're so hot," and Yu-jin's reply, "Don't worry about anything anymore," adding a romantic atmosphere.

In the second video, the two sit side by side on the back seat of a bus, gazing at each other, conveying the excitement of two young people who are clumsy in love. Yu-jin asks questions like, "I suddenly missed you?", "Do I really look that good to you?", and "Where is it so good?" while Min-jae honestly replies, "You're pretty. You're cute and kind," bringing smiles to viewers' faces. From the way they look into each other's eyes to their hands naturally clasped together, the sweet romance chemistry between Choo Young-woo and Kim So-hyun raises expectations.

Even with just the mood teaser videos, Choo Young-woo and Kim So-hyun display such natural romance chemistry that it is hard to believe this is their first collaboration. They portray an unfinished youth romance of two young people who are clumsy in love. Choo Young-woo plays Min-jae, a doctoral student who lost one leg due to illness, gave up his dream of becoming a swimmer, and found a new life in robotics engineering.

Kim So-hyun portrays Yu-jin, who was about to graduate from the Department of Clothing Design but had her path to graduate school blocked after being labeled a "troublemaker," only to meet Min-jae and join the robotics research lab. The extreme chemistry between Min-jae, a nerd who is familiar with logic and formulas but clumsy in expressing emotions and love, and Yu-jin, a straight-shooter who approaches love without hesitation, raises curiosity about what kind of spicy, bitter, and sweet romance they will create.

'Yeon Ae (Dr.)' is directed by Ahn Pan-seok, known for presenting realistic romance with delicate emotional lines through masterpieces such as 'My Lovely Girl' and 'Spring Night,' and written by Min Hyo-jung, who has received widespread love for works like 'Ojakgyeong Goyang-i' and 'Full House.' Through the love story of two young people that begins in a special space—a robotics research lab—the film captures the excitement, anxiety, and joys and sorrows of love that everyone has experienced at least once. It also adds the diverse daily lives of graduate students, promising to deliver empathy and warm laughter.
