JTBC's new Saturday-Sunday drama 'A Hundred Memories' has confirmed its premiere date.
The upcoming drama starring Kim Da Mi and Shin Ye Eun captures the clumsy yet beautiful essence of youth and the lingering memories. The series is a retro youth melodrama set in the 1980s, portraying the shining friendship between two bus attendants on Seoul's No. 100 bus line and the first love they share for a man of fate.
The female bus attendants assisted passengers and collected fares while guiding departures and ensuring safety on the bus. 'A Hundred Memories' follows these two young bus attendants as they form a special friendship. Kim Da Mi plays Go Young Rye and Shin Ye Eun portrays Seo Jong Hee, two women who shine brightly even amidst the grueling routine of broading the first buses at dawn as bus attendants to support their families.
On August 7, the drama released a teaser poster depicting the two characters in the nostalgic red berets and navy uniforms. Seen leaning out of a crowded bus, scanning the surroundings, and accompanied by the tagline, "Departing now, all right!"
In the drama, Kim Da Mi's character, Go Young Rye, is the typical eldest daughter of a Korean family who works as a bus attendant while chasing her dream of attending a university. She boards the bus daily despite constant motion sickness to help her mother. Though she appears innocent and studious, she reveals her fiery side when dealing with fare dodgers, even chasing them to the ends of the earth.
Shin Ye Eun's character is equally bold. She's a charming and energetic woman who doesn't let anyone mess with her. She settles into Cheong-A Transportation with hopes of escaping her troubled family background. Though the two have different personalities, Young Rye and Jong Hee become inseparable best friends, until their shared first love puts their bond to the test, stirring a storm of emotions.
The drama brings together two established youth drama stars, Kim Da Mi and Shin Ye Eun. Kim Da Mi made a powerful impression with the film 'The Witch: Part 1 - The Subversion.' Shin Ye Eun proved her acting skills with an image transformation with the villainous role of Park Yeon Jin in 'The Glory.'
The drama production team shared, "The combination of Kim Da Mi and Shin Ye Eun, two of the most trusted youth drama actresses, adds authenticity to the emotions of 'A Hundred Memories.' With the retro aesthetic centered around the role of bus attendants, and a story weaving dazzling yet bittersweet youth, deep friendship, and first love, viewers can expect a highly dramatic and nostalgic ride."
JTBC previously offered a brief 10-second glimpse of A Hundred Memories through a 2025 drama lineup video on its official YouTube channel. In the teaser, Kim Da Mi and Shin Ye Eun blow on dandelions and smile brightly, capturing a youthful, refreshing vibe. The clip also introduces Shin Ye Eun exuding confident charm, Kim Da Mi working hard while never losing her smile, and a mysterious man named Heo Nam Joon, the figure who comes between the two friends.
Meanwhile, 'A Hundred Memories' will air on September 13 at 10:40 PM as a follow-up series to 'Beyond the Bar.'
