Surely Tomorrow Review 2025 Tv Show Series Cast Crew Online
I’m not usually a fan of second-chance love stories, but as a longtime admirer of Park Seo-joon, I had to check out his new K-drama ‘Surely Tomorrow’, in which he stars alongside Won Ji-an, best known for playing Se-mi (Player 380) in ‘Squid Game’ second season. With two episodes already released, it’s clear that ‘Surely Tomorrow’ leans on familiar rom-com clichés and has obvious flaws, but it still deserves a chance.
What is ‘Surely Tomorrow’ about, you ask? Lee Gyeong-do (Park Seo-joon) and Seo Ji-woo (Won Ji-an) are drawn to each other time and again throughout their lives. They first fell in love in their early twenties, only to part ways, and reunited in their late twenties, but only to go their separate ways again. Years later, they reunite: Gyeong-do is now a journalist covering a sensational scandal, while Ji-woo is the wife of the man at the center of it. Against the backdrop of public scrutiny and their shared history, their story unfolds into a surprising third chapter.
The series doesn’t waste time getting to the point. It opens with Seo-joon’s character Gyeong-do at the center of a scandal he intentionally sparked. His expose on two high-profile celebrities brings attention to his company, but instead of celebrating, he’s consumed by guilt. The woman at the heart of the story is his first love, Seo Ji-woo, now married to the male celebrity involved. While his colleagues celebrate the article’s success, Gyeong-do is far from happy.
Thanks to the scandal, Gyeong-do and Ji-woo meet again after years, and much to Gyeong-do’s surprise, she thanks him for publishing the article, as it gave her the courage to end her toxic marriage.
While we see where their relationship stands in the present, flashbacks reveal how they met, fell in love, and the moments that defined them. Some scenes feel predictable, but the chemistry between the leads keeps the story engaging. That said, the first episode is a little boring, but the second episode has good moments.
When Seo-joon was first announced to star opposite Ji-an, many were concerned about the age gap. Now that the episodes are out, however, they look convincingly good onscreen as lovers. Seo-joon delivers a natural and charismatic performance, whereas Ji-an as Ji-woo balances charm and emotional vulnerability with ease. The supporting cast includes Lee El, Kang Ki-doong, Kim Mi-kyung, Lee Joo-young, and Jo Min-kook. The actors bring drama and fun to the story.
‘Surely Tomorrow’ isn’t perfect, yet its humour and heartfelt moments make it a delight to watch. I’m excited to see more of Seo-joon and Ji-an, as their story’s new chapter is just beginning. Honestly, I’m not keeping my expectations too high, but I hope it manages to deliver something fresh as the plot unfolds.
