SEOUL — Actress Park So-dam is returning to small screen for the first time in four years with the new tvN series “Record of Youth” set to start airing at 9 p.m. on Monday.
Park, who had a breakthrough year in 2019 for her role in the Academy Award-winning film “Parasite,” is partnered with heartthrob Park Bo-gum and up-and-coming actor Byeon Woo-seok in the new series.
The drama revolves around three 25-year-olds in the modeling business, each striving towards their dreams in the cut-throat industry. Park So-dam plays a makeup artist, while Park Bo-gum and Byeon Woo-seok each play models.
“Record of Youth” is directed by Ahn Gil-ho, who also helmed the cable network’s hit series “Stranger” (2017) and “Memories of the Alhambra” (2018), and screenwriter Ha Myung-hee, who worked on SBS’s “Temperature of Love” (2017) and “The Doctors” (2016).
