In the teaser, viewers first get to see 19-year-old Kim So Hyun, who is free-spirited and expresses her love without hesitation. The clip then moves to the present Kim So Hyun, who rebuffs first love as something for the immature and fears loving again due to her past. Now an animation producer, she encounters Chae Jong Hyeop from her school days. While the two were at odds when they were young, a spark ignites in Kim So Hyun.

In Chae Jong Hyeop’s teaser, there is a 19-year-old student who is all about fun and has no interest in pursuing love. He used to constantly bicker with Hyun in school and mock her. However, he finds Kim So Hyun attractive. As the two come face-to-face after 10 years, a new wave of emotions takes over. The teaser goes on to reveal Chae Jong Hyeop confessing his love.

‘Serendipity’s Embrace’ is ready to premiere on July 22 and will feature an ensemble cast including Kim So Hyun, Chae Jong Hyeop, Yun Ji On, Dasom, Lee Won Jung, Hwang Sung Bin, Choi Dae Chul, Yoon Jung Hee, and Kim Jung Nan.
