JTBC’s weekend drama “A Hundred Memories” has stepped into its long-awaited second act with a special poster that reunites Kim Da-mi, Heo Nam-jun, and Shin Ye-eun seven years after their characters’ painful separation. The image hints at unfinished stories, rekindled emotions and fresh conflicts.
From Youthful Dreams to Hard-Won Adulthood
Set in the 1980s, A Hundred Memories began with two young bus attendants, Go Young-rye and Seo Jong-hee, whose friendship and shared connection to Han Jae-pil were tested by workplace injustice. A violent incident forced Jong-hee to disappear, leaving emotional scars on both her best friend and Jae-pil.
Seven years later, Young-rye has reinvented herself as a hair designer. Jae-pil re-enters her life, closing the first half of the drama with tentative peace just as the second act promises new questions and choices.
The Poster that Signals a New Beginning
The newly released artwork shows the three leads walking under a dazzling sky with the sea behind them. Its tagline—“Our story isn’t over yet”—evokes nostalgia and hope, telling viewers that the bonds of youth still run beneath the surface despite betrayals and distance.
Cast Highlights
- Kim Da-mi as Go Young-rye
Returns as a stronger, more decisive version of her character in the second act. - Shin Ye-eun as Seo Jong-hee

What the Team Says
