'Yeon Ae (Dr.)' previews the poignant youthful chemistry between Choo Young-woo and Kim So-hyun.

On the 15th, the production team of ENA's new Monday-Tuesday drama 'Yeon Ae (Dr.)'(directed by Ahn Pan-seok, written by Min Hyo-jung) released a second teaser video capturing moments where excitement and poignancy intertwine between Park Min-jae (played by Choo Young-woo) and Im Yu-jin (played by Kim So-hyun).

'Yeon Ae (Dr.)' tells the story of Park Min-jae, a doctoral student who was a swimmer in high school but lost one leg due to illness, and Im Yu-jin, a master's student who wandered after losing her career path before finding a new direction. A spicy, bitter, yet sweet romance blossoms in a robotics research lab, while the diverse daily lives of graduate students, previously unknown to us, offer warm laughter amidst excitement. Above all, the meeting of Choo Young-woo and Kim So-hyun, who will portray the joys and sorrows of two youths unskilled in love, is already eagerly anticipated.

Notably, 'Yeon Ae (Dr.)' is drawing attention as the final work of the late Director Ahn Pan-seok, who created beloved melodramas such as 'Graduation', 'Pretty Woman Who Buys Me Rice', 'Spring Night', and 'Secret Affair'. He passed away last month on the 12th after a battle with illness.

Additionally, writer Min Hyo-jung, known for works like 'Oktapbang Goyang-i' and 'Full House', is handling the script.

While the romantic moments between Park Min-jae and Im Yu-jin in the previous teaser stirred excitement, the second teaser released today strikes a different tone that quickens the heart. "I am formally confessing my love. I like you very much," says Im Yu-jin as she conveys her sincere feelings to Park Min-jae. He is shown deep in thought, enduring leg pain while trying hard to suppress his anger. The scene cuts between Im Yu-jin wiping away tears alone and Park Min-jae with an empty expression, revealing their inner struggles on their faces.

"Even if I act narrow-mindedly or badly, I can't stop liking you," says Im Yu-jin once again, conveying her true feelings toward Park Min-jae. Her words hint at a change in their relationship and evoke a strange flutter of excitement. Anticipation builds as the two, each carrying their own stories, take steps closer to one another in this poignant romance.

Park Min-jae, who lost his right leg due to illness and had to abandon his dream of becoming a swimmer, is portrayed by Choo Young-woo. Park Min-jae, a doctoral student who found a new life in robotics after losing his dream career, is a character who continues his research steadily, albeit slowly. His life changes when Yu-jin, with strong drive, appears before him, someone unskilled at expressing emotions. Kim So-hyun plays Im Yu-jin, a student on the verge of graduating from the Department of Clothing Design but confused about her career path. After being labeled a 'troublemaker' within her department due to an incident, her path to graduate school in clothing design was blocked. However, upon meeting Min-jae, she opens her eyes to a new world of robotics. It remains to be seen whether Im Yu-jin, who charges forward unhesitatingly in both robotics research and love, can melt Park Min-jae's hardened heart.

'Yeon Ae (Dr.)' will premiere on ENA at 10 p.m. on October 5 and will also be available for viewing on KT Giiva TV and Disney+.
