Actors Kam Woo-seong and Choi Soo-young from K-pop group Girls” Generation were confirmed as the final lead roles of MBC”s upcoming drama series “My Spring Days” (working title), according to local media yesterday.

Choi Soo-young will play Lee-bom, who embarks on a new life after getting a heart transplant. While living each day to the fullest, she comes across Dong-ha, played by Kam, whom she eventually falls in love with.

Later, it turns out that Dong-ha”s wife, who was killed in an accident a long time ago, was actually the donor of Lee-bom”s new heart.

The drama will revolve around a distinctive medical term called “cellular memory”, which explains that since a body”s cells store memory independently from the brain, it leads to an organ transplant”s recipient to form new habits similar to the donor.

The production team said that it is a “heartwarming and tear-jerking drama”.

“My Spring Days” will start airing sometime in September.
