Cho Yi Hyun Dishes On Her Chemistry With Jin Young In New Romance Drama “Summer Vacation”

Cho Yi Hyun has shared her thoughts on her upcoming drama “ Summer Vacation ”!

“Summer Vacation” is a teen romance drama starring Cho Yi Hyun as Kim Ha Yeon, an ordinary high school student who has a mysterious experience during her summer vacation before returning to reality. B1A4 ’s Jin Young stars as Jo Yu Gyeom, a boy the same age as her.

When Kim Ha Yeon, who has been longing to escape reality and become the main character of her own life, accompanies her father on a business trip to the village of Upo, she crosses paths with Jo Yu Gyeom, who has been living a monotonous life while feeling trapped by his traditional family’s strict rules.

Describing why she was drawn to “Summer Vacation,” Cho Yi Hyun recalled, “When I was reading the script, I imagined a dreamy vibe. I was really curious how that vibe would translate on screen, and I felt this pull of wanting to step inside the [story] myself.”

The actress also spoke fondly of her character, remarking, “[Ha Yeon] is a character with a wish that every girl has probably thought about at least once, even in passing. The youthful nervousness of a girl who feels she has met the ideal type of her dreams was cute, and I was drawn to the innocence of the character.”

“To Kim Ha Yeon, Jo Yu Gyeom is like a lottery ticket that has landed right in front of her,” continued Cho Yi Hyun. “It was no different from seeing a dream you’d only imagined suddenly appear in reality.”

Expressing her gratitude towards her co-star Jin Young, Cho Yi Hyun shared, “He truly took great care of me on set. We also talked a lot, and thanks to his attentively taking the lead, we were able to work together comfortably.”

When asked to name a moment from filming that stood out in her memory, Cho Yi Hyun chose a scene where they swam in the autumn sea at night.

“We joked around a lot on set, and the conversation never stopped flowing,” she recalled. “But out of everything, the moment that I found most memorable was when we went into the autumn sea and swam at night. Although the weather was quiet cold, it was a lot of fun because we were together, so it stands out in my memory.”

The actress went on, “I think ‘Summer Vacation’ will linger with me as a ‘dream.’ The vibe was so pretty and beautiful throughout filming, which made me feel like I was dreaming.”

Cho Yi Hyun concluded, “I’m genuinely happy to be able to finally show [this drama] to viewers. I hope you’ll join us in enjoying ‘Summer Vacation,’ which is like a midsummer night’s dream.”

“Summer Vacation” premieres on October 26 and will be available to watch on Viki.
