Plot:
The second season of 'My First First Love' will delve further into Yoon Tae-oh and Han Song-yi's relationship. Even as the two grow beyond their friendship and get involved in a romantic relationship, they are unable to mend their habits of leaning on each other at times of difficulty. This is especially true for Tae-oh, who in season 1 confessed to having a crush on Song-yi since their school days. How this friendship will affect their romantic relationship forms the crux of the second season.
Season 1 recap:
In the first season of 'My First First Love,' we were introduced to the main characters Yoon Tae-oh, Han Song-yi, Seo Do-hyun, Oh Ga-rin and Choi Hoon. We got to know that Song-yi is Tae-oh's first love and his best friend who had to move into his apartment after her house is auctioned off for debts caused by her family.
Tae-oh's best friend in college Do-hyun meets Song-yi when she is kicked out of her house and the two begin dating, but do not reveal this to their other friends. Oh Ga-rin, a daughter of a rich family who is sick of being suffocated with things a lady must do, runs away from her family and begins staying with Tae-oh. She along with Choi Hoon, who gets kicked out of his house for wanting to become an actor added more layers to the coming-of-age romantic drama.

He is unable to prioritize anyone over Song-yi while Do-hyun asks him to step away.
Song-yi too seems to want to distance herself from Tae-oh and it is unclear if their friendship will survive. Tae-oh also faces a personal problem when his father seeks his help to take over the business he has run heartlessly so far. Ga-rin and Choi-hoon, on the other hand, also get involved in a romantic relationship.
