However, a life-altering incident from two years earlier disrupts the fragile balance between the twins and HHa-kyeon. The incident sets the stage for a story of love, longing, and painful truths that resurface when they meet again.

The drama paints a portrait of a midsummer romance where past memories and present emotions collide. It forces the characters to confront wounds they can no longer ignore.

Last Summer explores the final summer the two friends spend together, delving into themes of love, truth, and healing. The drama promises a poignant and vivid tale of mending old wounds, rediscovering lost connections, and embracing a summer romance that marks both an ending and a new beginning.

The second teaser of Last Summer released on September 23 revisits the characters’ past. It begins with Baek Do-ha (Lee Jae-wook) and Song Ha-kyung (Choi Sung-eun) during their younger days.

Do-ha, who spends only part of his summers in Korea, is shown smiling as Ha-kyung tells him she will be his “number one during the summer.” His narration, “Summer was good. It was my summer,” sets the tone for the nostalgic memories they share.

The teaser also introduces Do-ha’s twin brother, Baek Do-young (also played by Lee Jae-wook), who joins them during the summer. The brothers, separated since their parents’ divorce, are seen reuniting warmly. Together with Ha-kyung, they spend time playing games and decorating walls with shared memories.

The tone of the teaser then shifts. Ha-kyung’s narration reflects on how the trio’s bond eventually unravels. She is seen confessing her feelings to one of the twins and sharing a kiss, while the other watches from a distance. This moment appears to alter the dynamics between them. The teaser concludes with a glimpse of the present, showing Do-ha reappearing in Ha-kyung’s life.
