New photos from K-High’s upcoming teen romance Every day, us were released, drawing emotional attention as the film marks the final work of the late actress Kim Sae-ron. Slated for theatrical release in March, the film delicately captures the sweetness and confusion of being 17, an age defined by ordinary days and extraordinary emotions familiar to Korean teenagers.
Directed by Kim Min-jae, Every day, us tells the story of an awkward but sincere teenage romance that begins with an unexpected confession between childhood friends. Unlike teen romances from Japan, Taiwan, or Hollywood, the film focuses on the quintessentially Korean school experience, depicting realistic classrooms, school uniforms, and shared spaces that closely resemble real student life. This grounded approach is expected to resonate strongly with the public as the new school term begins.
The newly revealed photos focus on the daily lives of ordinary high school students Ho-soo and Yeo-wool, capturing subtle moments of excitement hidden within routine school days. In one image, Yeo-wool is seen protecting herself from a sudden downpour with her school uniform jacket, her visibly irritated expression instantly recognizable to anyone who has ever forgotten an umbrella on the way to school. Yet another shows her happily chatting with friends during break, reflecting the anticipation and excitement of meeting new people at the start of a new term.
Ho-soo is also depicted sitting in a secret corner of the school, evoking the universal teen fantasy of having a private hideout where they can gather with friends and share secrets. Particularly striking is a tender scene in which Yeo-wool’s hair gets caught in a tree and Ho-soo gently helps to untangle it, a small, everyday incident that silently hints at the innocence of first love and the emotions that emerge from shared moments.
Arriving in cinemas to coincide with the warm spring season, Every day, us is intended to convey delicate emotions, youthful nostalgia and sincere resonance. As Kim Sae-ron’s final screen appearance, the film has added meaning, leaving audiences with a poignant reminder of his presence and a story that celebrates the fleeting beauty of youth.
