by tccolb
Heading into premiere week for ENA’s upcoming Like Flowers in Sand, within the latest teaser we tumble deeper into our story’s ssireum panorama, the place a struggling Jang Dong-yoon (Day by day Dose of Sunshine) is unexpectedly reunited along with his childhood bestie Lee Joo-myung (Twenty 5 Twenty One).
Because the digital camera follows our hero into the sector, a spectator muses that Kim Baek-du (Jang Dong-yoon) appears acquainted, quickly realizing that he’s the praised ssireum prodigy from approach again who was on TV. We then be taught that Baek-du is the youngest son of a earlier champion. However regardless of displaying nice expertise for the game, Baek-du’s win rely has sadly remained at zero.
A dejected Baek-du thus declares that he’s retiring and his older brothers are amused to see Baek-du learning English for a civil service examination. However that’s not the one shocking information on the town and the gossip mill is fired up as a result of somebody moved into the outdated empty home the place Baek-du’s childhood pal Oh Doo-shik used to dwell.
Enter our powerful heroine Oh Yoo-kyung (Lee Joo-myung) – the brand new ssireum staff supervisor – who clearly is aware of a factor or two about wrestling, although she tries to play it down. Baek-du can inform instantly that she’s Doo-shik, however the remainder of the townsfolk will not be satisfied.
Personally, I’m not liking this thread of Doo-shik being a supposedly ugly youngster who anybody may acknowledge and may’t presumably be the gorgeous Yoo-kyung. Don’t disappoint me like this Lee Joo-seung (Black Knight). Yoo-kyung, on her half, neither confirms nor denies, solely arguing the technicality that she by no means stated to Baek-du that she’s Doo-shik.
Including to the story’s thriller, we’re launched to charming newcomer Yoon Jong-seok (Our Blooming Youth) and cafe proprietor Kim Bora (Finland Papa). The latter is suspicious of the previous, asking if he’s the one who moved into the outdated Doo-shik home and why he’s not shocked to listen to that an individual died drowning within the neighborhood water reservoir.
We then return to extra neighborhood gossip as one girl wonders what occurred up to now with Doo-shik’s household and why everybody will get so upset each time Doo-shik’s title is talked about – everybody apart from our hero, anyway.
Within the meantime, Yoo-kyung is lower than happy to find Baek-du’s retirement and will get slightly carried away in her ~if~ I used to be Doo-shik situation. Equally, Dad Choi Moo-sung (Han River) worries about Baek-du’s choice, realizing how a lot effort and time Baek-du spent on the sand. However even with ssireum rival Lee Jae-joon (So Not Value It) upsetting him, Baek-du is just too discouraged to chew.
Fortunately, Yoo-kyung tries a distinct tactic, encouraging Baek-du to dwell for himself and brazenly say when there’s one thing he does or doesn’t need to do. Additionally confessing that he’s wanted by the staff and by her, Yoo-kyung’s confidence strikes our hero to return to the sandy ring. Because the teaser closes, we learn within the intermittent textual content screens that whereas Baek-du was caught a younger seedling for 20 years, he’s lastly about to blossom simply in time.
Directed by PD Kim Jin-woo (A Mannequin Household, Fits) with Received Yoo-jung (The Lies Inside) penning the scripts, ENA’s Like Flowers in Sand might be launching subsequent week on December 20 and streaming on Netflix.
