What is Our Beloved Summer about?

A high-school documentary that paired the class dropout with the class valedictorian becomes a streaming hit a decade after it was shot, and the network wants a follow-up. The catch is that its two subjects dated for five years, ended it badly and swore never to see each other again. Filming forces them back into the same frame, with their old friend behind the camera and his own feelings carefully unspoken.

Critics consensus: A gentle, beautifully observed reunion romance that treats a failed relationship as something worth understanding rather than fixing — Choi Woo-shik and Kim Da-mi are wonderful company. The cast is led by Choi Woo-shik, Kim Da-mi, Kim Sung-cheol, Roh Jeong-eui, Park Jin-joo.
