Cast and characters

Main
  • Lee Ji-eun as Ae-soon.[3] A spirited rebel, much like a "stubborn potato." Despite being in a situation that calls for maturity, she remains unyielding, her voice trembling like a goat each time she defies. She is a young girl with a touch of literary charm. Though slightly inexperienced, she is not overshadowed. Like a vibrant flower, she defiantly tilts her head towards the sun, even beneath the shaded walls that deny a single ray of light. She is an intriguing character, resolute and unfazed, radiating a captivating presence. Even in circumstances where attending school is impossible, she dreams of becoming a poet. Unafraid to express her emotions openly, her laughter resounds across the vast sea. She is a bold and spirited individual.[4]
    • Kim Tae-yeon as child Ae-soon
    • Moon So-ri as middle age Ae-soon[5]
  • Park Bo-gum as Gwan-sik. A character as silent and unyielding as "steel." He is a diligent and unwavering individual, understanding the immense power of true dedication. In matters of love, however, he is as fragile as a ripe peach. Even a smile from Ae-soon can cause his heart to falter, and his tears are equally devastating. Nevertheless, his loyalty, like unyielding steel, remains unshakable. From the very beginning, he loves and cherishes Ae-soon alone, never straying from his commitment. Using the pretext of the era, he takes the reins of Ae-soon's pivotal moments, steering, pulling the emergency brake, and at times even stepping on the accelerator of life. These actions defy the predictable course of time, as he wholeheartedly embraces his role as a warrior of unwavering devotion.[4]
  • Oh Jung-se[6]
  • Lee Jun-young[7]
