## Synopsis

Reunited Worlds (2017) is a South Korean k-drama series created by Baek Su-chan for SBS. Yeo Jin-goo plays Sung Hae-Sung, an eighteen-year-old who stays youthful while his childhood friend ages thirteen years ahead of him, and Lee Yeon-hee plays Jung Jung-Won, the woman at the center of their tangled bond. Ahn Jae-hyun plays Cha Min-Joon, a rival suitor whose presence turns old feelings into a love triangle. The engine of the series is the ache of lost time: two people who once shared a childhood must find their way back to each other while lies, competing affections and the gap in their lives keep pulling them apart. Each half-hour episode builds on family secrets, heartfelt confrontations and romantic misunderstandings, and the story unfolds across one continuous season of forty episodes. Set in present-day South Korea, the drama is a supernatural melodrama in the tradition of the k-drama romance, with a wistful, melancholic atmosphere and a steady undercurrent of longing. Fans of Goblin, Hotel del Luna and Stairway to Heaven will find resonance in its blend of fated love and emotional sacrifice.
