As a result, we have already pointed out the attractive points of 'Last Summer', which is attracting attention even before the broadcast.
The core of 'Last Summer' is the tight narrative of Baek Do-ha (Lee Jae-wook) and Song Ha-kyung (Choi Sung-eun). Doha, who stays in Korea for only 21 days during the summer vacation every year, and Ha-kyung, who has lost time without expressing their feelings to him, grow into childhood friends of 17 years. Since childhood, the two have continued to have a bickering relationship, but reveal the feelings of their fresh first love that they have hidden in them. However, because of what happened two years ago, their relationship faces an irreversible change.
On top of that, the existence of Doha's twin brothers, Baek Do-young (Lee Jae-wook/two roles), is expected to add depth to the narrative. As a result of their parents' divorce, the two spend time together only during summer vacation. When Ha-kyung learns of the past that happened between her twin brothers after she became an adult, her feelings of anger begin to fluctuate. It stimulates curiosity about how the puzzle pieces of the hidden truth and first love related to the relationship between Doha, Do-young and Ha-kyung will be matched.

Su-hyuk, Seung-taek, and Seul's real-life relationship chemistry in front of their childhood friends of 17 years, as well as the appearance of So-hee, an American female friend of Doha, are said to offer a variety of attractions. In particular, the triangular relationship between Su-hyuk and Ha-kyung, which shakes Doha and his heart, is expected to be a fun point of the play.

The main background of the play, 'Nutjip' and 'Fatan-myeon' near the DMZ, are said to give viewers healing with their beautiful visual beauty, raising expectations for the first broadcast.
The romance between a woman who hates summer (Hagyeong) and a man who has been waiting for summer every day (Doha) conveys a deeper sense of immersion in conjunction with the lyrical sensibility of the season.
