Learning life and love from A Week Before a Die
by tccolb
Although production is still in its early stages, TVING’s fantasy romance A Week Before I Die gives us a sneak peek with the first script reading stills, led by leads Gong Myung (Lovers of the Red Sky) and Kim Min-ha (Pachinko).
Adapted from a novel by the same title (authored by Seo Eun-chae), we meet Kim Min-ha in the role of Jung Hee-wan during a dark chapter, having lost her smile and the will to live. Enter Gong Myung playing our heroine’s first love Kim Ram-woo, who tragically died back in high school.
Now a grim reaper, Ram-woo re-appears in Hee-wan’s life to foretell her death in one week’s time and offer to help fulfill her bucket list items in the remaining days. We then follow their thoughtful journey as our pair re-connect, allowing them to discover truths about the past and realize the depths of love and life.
Rounding out their friend group of four, we have Jung Geon-joo (The Secret Romantic Guesthouse) playing Ram-woo’s other half Lee Hong-seok, who is described as a board game addict and former competitive swimmer. Hee-wan’s soulmate and bestie, on the other hand, is Oh Woo-ri (Welcome to Samdal-ri) taking on the part of Yoon Tae-kyung.
In supportive roles, we also have the adorable and good-natured Go Chang-seok (Glitch) playing Hee-wan’s dad, and Seo Young-hee (Twinkling Watermelon) playing Ram-woo’s gentle but strong mom.
Directed by filmmaker Choi Ha-na (More than Family) with scripts co-written by Song Hyun-joo and Jang In-jung, TVING’s A Week Before I Die will be releasing next year in 2025.
