## Synopsis

Always Meet Again (2026) is a South Korean miniseries created by Choi Ji-an and Jeong Yu-gyeong, produced by Moving Pictures Company and Flash ENT for Heavenly. Famous painter Jang Hye-seong (Woo Ji-han) wakes up in the body of his 18-year-old self and must navigate a rare second chance with his first love, Lee Woo-jin (Shin Jeong-u). The engine of the eight-episode story is the tension between an adult's hindsight and a teenager's clumsy heart: every episode is built around school-age encounters, a reunion that threatens to repeat old mistakes, and the question of whether a rewritten past can truly change what came after. Park Tae-jun (Seo Seung-hyun) and Jang Eun-ha (Min Do-hee) add emotional weight to the youthful circle around the two leads. The story unfolds in a contemporary Korean school setting with a nostalgic, wistful atmosphere, balancing light romantic comedy with melancholy about regret and missed time. Its shape is a single, self-contained arc rather than a long-running saga, making it an easy one-sitting watch. Fans of About Time, Your Name and Hotel Del Luna will find resonance in its time travel romance, tender longing and bittersweet affection for lost youth.
