Spring of Youth (TV series)
Spring of Youth is a 2025 South Korean teen romance television series written by Kim Min-cheol, directed by Kim Sung-yong, and starring Ha Yoo-joon, Park Ji-hu, and Lee Seung-hyub. It aired on SBS TV from May 6, to July 2, 2025, every Wednesday at 22:40.
Drawing dismal average ratings of 0.9% despite airing on a terrestrial television network, Spring of Youth is notable for being belatedly revealed to have been written by Kim Soon-ok, who earned the reputation of being a "ratings queen" for controversial and highly provocative melodramas such as Temptation of Wife and its spiritual successor Temptation of an Angel, Jang Bo-ri is Here!, My Daughter, Geum Sa-wol, and The Penthouse: War in Life.
