Summer Guys

On the subtropical South Korean island of Jeju, a flagging beachside bar is on its last legs. Despite the popularity of the resort, and the bar’s prime location, it seems doomed to failure. But its sole barkeeper, the 25-year-old Oh Jin Dal Rae (Kang Mina) is determined not to let that happen. As summer approaches and holidaymakers start preparing their vacation plans, she enlists the help of three young – but very different – male would-be bartenders. Among their number is an Ivy League graduate from a wealthy family named Seon Woo Chan (Lee Jung Shin). Having suffered a sad childhood, he strives to better himself and achieve perfection. Also lending a hand is Ma Tae Oh (Lee Jung Sic), a devout Buddhist with a desire to help people. And the gang is rounded out by Park Gwang Bok (Viini), a sometime baseball player with a stunning physique. The fate of the bar is also a matter of great interest to Yeom Ah Ran (Lim Na Young), the daughter of a powerful corporate boss who has business interests on Jeju Island. Together with her new team, Oh Jin Dal Rae and co decide to revamp the bar in preparation for a summer to remember – by developing outstanding cocktail making and shaking skills. But affairs of the heart threaten to derail their plans – and as summer heats up, so does the romance...and the heartbreak! “Summer Guys” is a 2021 South Korean drama series that was directed by Heo Chan.
