The brand-new summer poster paints a beautiful picture: Ae Sun (IU) and Gwan Sik (Park Bo Gum) stand side by side, showcasing their evolution into a married couple. Set against a serene seaside backdrop, the couple exudes warmth and joy—Ae Sun resting her head on Gwan Sik’s shoulder, who is playfully holding a fishing net and a lunchbox. The captivating caption, “To your season that was so young and still tender,” hints at the ups and downs that lie ahead for them on their journey of love and family.

The recently dropped Act 2 trailer, narrated by their daughter Geum Myeong, gives viewers a glimpse into their changed dynamics. Ae Sun has transformed from a shy literature enthusiast into a leading figure in their fishing village, taking charge with unwavering determination. Meanwhile, Gwan Sik continues to embody the loving, supportive husband and father, ready to tackle any challenge that comes their way. Their experiences reflect the vibrancy of summer—a season of blossoming possibilities and growth.

As Geum Myeong steps into her own as a college student, the storyline deepens with themes of reflection and growth. She learns from her parents’ sacrifices, stating, “My young parents also grew up with the momentum of summer that nurtures everything. I soared by feeding on their dreams.” This poignant line raises curiosity about the couple's transformation from inexperienced young parents to resilient figures of strength for their children.

The press stills release highlights crucial moments in their adult lives, illustrating Ae Sun’s journey from a girl with dreams to a sea captain selling fish at the market. Although time has passed, her struggles remain, portraying a relatable image of working hard to carve a place in adulthood. The images also portray tender moments with Gwan Sik as he supports Ae Sun, suggesting he, too, undergoes significant changes as he learns to balance family responsibilities.

Future scenes hinted at through the stills reveal the duo's evolution—Ae Sun (in later years played by Moon So Ri) is seen expressing exasperation, while Gwan Sik (portrayed by Park Hae Joon) is busy preparing meals. These visuals speak to the weight of their parenting journey, illustrating how their love and resilience deepen amidst life's trials.

Adding another emotional layer, we see Geum Myeong beaming with pride in her college entrance photo, mirroring the dreams once cherished by her mother.
