Lee Jong Hyuk (1997)

School friends Lee Wan (Lee Jong Hyuk) and Shin Ki Tae (Lee Seung Gyu) are inseparable friends who spend every single moment of free time they have together. But Lee Wan has a secret: He has a crush on his best friend, and wants their relationship to turn romantic. When he tells Shin Ki Tae how he feels, his friend recoils in horror. They quarrel and part in acrimony.

Seven years pass and Lee Wan has become an illustrator. When he sees an illustrator job posting for a gaming firm that is trying to create a dating-themed game, he applies and is called in for an interview – eventually landing the job. And it is here that he once again comes face-to-face with Shin Ki Tae, who is a team leader at the same firm. Suddenly, these two former friends must work together, despite the events of seven years ago. But will spending so much time in one another’s company again result in friction – or could it reignite old passions?

This movie was also made into a hit drama series of the same name.

“Our Dating Sim” is a 2023 South Korean movie that was directed by Lim Hyun Hee.

Re:Try First Love Game 

Lee Wan (Lee Jong Hyuk) and Shin Ki Tae (Lee Seung Gyu) are best friends. At school, they are almost inseparable and are always to be found hanging out together outside the classroom. Lee Wan is also attracted to Shin Ki Tae, and wants to start a romantic relationship with him. One day, Lee Wan confesses his feelings to his friend, who is stunned by this. The duo parts on unhappy terms.

Now, seven years later, the two young men are trying to navigate the job market – with varying degrees of success. Shin Ki Tae has become a middle manager at a team leader at a startup gaming company. He has built up a reputation as a programming ace. Lee Wan, meanwhile, has become a keen illustrator. When Shin Ki Tae’s company posts a job ad for an illustrator for a new dating-themed game, Lee Wan comes to the interview. Could romance spark for these two the second time around?
