Some viewers might not know that this isn’t Hyung Sik and Shin Hye’s first project together. They previously starred in the tremendously popular teen K-Drama Heirs (also known as The Inheritors).
A young couple, belonging to families with contrasting backgrounds, must navigate through various societal restrictions and fight against the norms held up by the chaebol families.

Netflix shared a side-by-side comparison of Hyung Sik and Shin Hye’s iconic clips from the two K-Dramas. Both contain high-school-based scenes, so it’s easy to see similarities.
The actors proved that they still look good in a school uniform! Netizens were shocked to see just how little had changed. Park Hyung Sik and Park Shin Hye look like they haven’t aged a day, although it’s been a decade. Are we sure they aren’t vampires, or is it just Korean skincare?
Another fan pointed out that Doctor Slump‘s male lead and second male lead have a history, too. Yoon Park and Park Hyung Sik previously appeared together in 2014–2015 K-Drama What Happens to My Family?, so it’s been nearly a decade in the making for their reunion too!
