On the 7th, the team of JTBC's new weekend drama "A Hundred Times of Memories" (written by Yang Hee-seung, directed by Kim Sang-ho) released a teaser poster. Kim Da-mi and Shin Ye-eun are seen wearing a bread hat and a uniform, surveying their surroundings.

The poster's caption caught attention: "We're off, oh ride!" The term "oh ride" serves as a signal for the bus's departure, evoking nostalgia for viewers who remember the past.

"A Hundred Times of Memories" is a newtro youth melodrama set in the 1980s, depicting the friendship between bus conductors Young-rae (played by Kim Da-mi) and Jong-hee (played by Shin Ye-eun), as well as their first love concerning the man, Jae-pil (played by Heo Nam-jun).

A bus conductor is a female staff member who performed bus-related duties in the past, overseeing fare collection, passenger assistance, departure guidance, and vehicle safety. The bread hat and setup uniform were symbolic outfits of the role.

Kim Da-mi plays the exemplary conductor "Go Yeong-rae" of Cheong Ah Transport's Route 100. She is a hardworking eldest daughter striving to attend university, riding the bus daily to make a living despite suffering from motion sickness.

Shin Ye-eun takes on the role of "Seo Jong-hee," a bus conductor filled with charisma and spirit. She builds a strong friendship with Young-rae while dreaming of escaping her unfortunate family circumstances.

Heo Nam-jun portrays Young-rae and Jong-hee's first love, "Han Jae-pil." As the son of a department store owner, he has a silver spoon upbringing but harbors internal wounds. He navigates a tumultuous teenage phase marked by rebellion.

"A Hundred Times of Memories" is penned by Yang Hee-seung, known for works such as "Ilta Scandal," "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo," and "Oh My Ghost," with direction by Kim Sang-ho, who also helmed "Thirty, Nine."

Meanwhile, "A Hundred Times of Memories" is set to premiere on the 13th of next month at 10:40 PM.
