Given that she shares the same face (and actress) as the girl from 1998, we’re led to believe they are the same person - except Joon-hee is a lot more social.

Our story then skips ahead to the present, where we’re introduced to HAN JOON-HEE (also played by Jeon Yeo-bin). Unfortunately, neither the timid girl nor her tongue-tied suitor can hold a conversation, so our extrovert does most of the talking. He does his damnedest to get In-kyu to strike up a conversation with the even more introverted girl, who stumbles over her words and struggles to make eye contact with either boy. In-kyu, we quickly learn, is painfully shy around his crush, but his extroverted friend - and quite possibly the best wingman ever - drags In-kyu into the store. Outside 27 Record, a high school boy ( Ahn Hyo-seop) wears an amused expression as he watches his best friend JUNG IN-KYU ( Kang Hoon) gaze - with obvious hearts in his eyes - through the shop window at the girl ( Jeon Yeo-bin) behind the counter. Our story begins in the year 1998 and almost immediately drops a nostalgia bomb on us in the form of a music store selling CDs and cassette tapes. As always, though, I’ll do my best not to make any unfair comparisons and treat this K-drama as its own separate entity.
