JTBC’s upcoming drama “A Hundred Memories” has unveiled the first sneak peek of Heo Nam Jun ’s character!
Set in the 1980s, “A Hundred Memories” is a nostalgic coming-of-age romance drama about the friendship between two young bus attendants, Go Young Rye ( Kim Da Mi ) and Seo Jong Hee ( Shin Ye Eun ), and their shared first love Han Jae Pil (Heo Nam Jun).
Han Jae Pil, the son of the president of Dongin Department Store, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, carrying both fierce defiance and deep loneliness. Among his classmates, he is nicknamed “the prince on a white horse” for his good looks and privileged background. But after losing his mother at a young age, and later experiencing his father’s remarriage, he was left with deep emotional scars.
The memory of watching his mother die helplessly during his elementary school years was the decisive factor that led him to take up boxing. He hoped that, one day, he could land a decisive blow against his father.
The stills reveal the contrasting sides of Jae Pil. In one, he gazes softly, like a first love from a romance comic. In another, he swallows his anger while holding back his emotions, creating a striking contrast. Finally, standing in the boxing ring, Jae Pil radiates a strong presence, showing the grit and survival instinct hidden beneath the shell of the “silver spoon prince.”
As Jae Pil navigates his turbulent years, he meets Young Rye and Jong Hee, becoming a romantic who dives headfirst into love. The biggest question is where his heart will ultimately land after touching the hearts of both girls, who share a deep friendship.
The production team said, “Jae Pil, played by Heo Nam Jun, is a multidimensional character who combines the traits of a wealthy prince and a rebellious troublemaker. His layered charm shines through in his gaze and speech, and his energy comes across fully in the boxing scenes. Heo Nam Jun’s subtle emotional performance will bring a timeless youth icon to life, so we ask for your interest and anticipation.”
“A Hundred Memories” will premiere on September 13 at 10:40 p.m. KST.
