Synopsis:

“Oasis” is set in Korea’s stormy period from the 1980s to the 1990s. It depicts the lives of young people who are forced to live solely to pursue power and wealth, and are surrounded by erroneous social values.

 

Lee Doo Hak (Jang Dong Yoon) is a high school student in a provincial city. He comes from a poor family background, but he is smart and compassionate. He falls in love with Oh Jung Shin (Seol In Ah) at first sight, who is a transfer student from Seoul. Lee Doo Hak gets involved in an unexpected case and this changes his life. Further, he becomes a “political gangster” and seeks to avenge his father’s unjust death.

 

Oh Jung Shin, also known as Sophia, is always honest and confident. She is brave enough to fight against injustice. She is the daughter of Namhae Theater's owner. After transferring to her new school from Seoul, she forms a bond with Lee Doo Hak and Choi Cheol Woong (Choo Young Woo). After experiencing emotional heartbreak with Lee Doo Hak, she enters the film industry to save her family’s theater. She grows into a powerful female cultural figure who is relentless in her pursuit of a profession and vengeance.

 

Since Choi Cheol Woong was a child, he and Lee Doo Hak have been friends and also rivals. Choi Cheol Woong is the type of person who can’t accept losing. He falls in love with transfer student Oh Jung Shin, but she doesn’t love him.

Yay! Can't wait to meet Sophia! 

Its been awhile since School 2017, the reunion of Seol In Ah and Jang Dong Yoon! 

[Rina]

 

 

[Tofu]

I love how both actors are so tan and then Seol In Ah's skin is so far. Haha! I do understand that it's partially due to their social status in the drama too -- both male leads are from poor families whereas female lead is from a wealthy family. 

[Rina]

 

Can't wait to meet Oh Jung Shin! 

[abs-oluteM]

I am looking forward to this too @Tofu @Rina since I like the cast very much. But this feels like Youth of May all over again. Need to prepare my heart!

The trailer reminds me a bit of the drama ''Endless Love''.

 

 

 

I hope CYW's character is a good guy.

New Year greetings from the main cast.

[mademoiselle]

Hahahaha why both of them are so dark and it's like... unnatural kind of tan. @Tofu You have to see this!

 

[Tofu]

@mademoiselle Agreed! It looks a bit unnatural. She's so fair compared to them so their tans really stick out.

It look like they had fake tan, isn't it?

[Rina]

 

English sub for teaser.

What I cracked me up more is not their fake tan ...if you guys see the New Year greeting that @Rina posted, just check out the wigs the boys are using. . I don't know if it is meant to make them look older.

Yeah the guys' hairstyles/wigs especially JDY looks weird. 

 

But think I have to get ready a box of issues for this drama.

@abs-oluteM @Rina I didn't pay attention to their hair in that clip and now I cannot stop laughing.
