A story of first love set on a campus in the 90s
“Green Light” is set in the late 1990s and follows a young man with a passion for baseball who decides to enter law school with the sole aim of reuniting with his first love. The drama promises to capture the intensity of first feelings and the energy of youth.

Interestingly, the actor shares a similar past with his character: a former baseball player, he won a junior national championship in 2017 before ending his career due to injury.
As for Jung Chae-yeon, she could play Song Ji-woo, a second-year law student, outwardly bright but marked by wounds and secrets. Her encounter with Han Tae-young would rekindle buried emotions, setting her life back on course.
The drama will be directed by Kim Moon-gyo, known for “Trolley” and “Connection”, and written by Yeo Song-eun, scriptwriter of “Good Good” Season 5.
A broadcast in 2027 on ENA has been mooted, but the channel has specified that its programming for next year has not yet been finalized.
