Idol-turned-actors Park Jinyoung and Kim Min Ju will greet viewers this spring with a nostalgic first love story. 

Premiering in March on JTBC, 'Shining' tells the story of a man and a woman who shared the brightest days of their youth together. They then meet as adults and try to find their way again. 

Park Jinyoung will play the role of Yeon Tae Seo, a subway engineer. Yeon Tae Seo chooses to focus on surviving in the here and now, rather than the future. After fighting hard to earn a stable lifestyle, he reunites with his first love, Mo Eun Ah

Kim Min Ju takes on the role of Mo Eun Ah, the manager of a hostel experience. Diligently working toward her goals with endurance and passion, she runs into her first love Yeon Tae Seo and begins to rethink life's direction.

Direced by Kim Yoon Jin of 'Our Beloved Summer' and scripted by Lee Sook Yeon of 'On the Way to the Airport', 'Shining' is coming to JTBC this spring.
