Youth of May: Episode 1 Recaps
Episode one opens with a group of men working at a construction site where they found an unidentified skeleton at Gwangju while digging the ground. they alert the police, and the cop sent the skeleton to the National Forensic Service for DNA analysis to identify the victim. Though those in the political circles are saying.
the skeleton may belong to one of the victims of the Gwangju Uprising… and that the blood sample may need to be compared with the families of those who disappeared during the Gwangju Uprising.
For A romantic, Melo, and period drama, this is an uncommon opening for the first episode, maybe the writer is trying to give us a hook for the first experience, we might see some mysterious scene. wink My thoughts.
