The highly-anticipated Coupang Play series, 'Once Upon a Boyhood', has been confirmed to launch towards the end of November 2023. The announcement was celebrated with the release of a new set of stills.

'Once Upon a Boyhood' is a captivating period drama set in Chungcheongnam-do in 1989. It narrates the transformative journey of Byung Tae from being an 'loser' to being respected and celebrated, seemingly overnight. The revealed still pictures have intensified anticipation by offering glimpses of the vividly unique characters set against the backdrop of Buyeo Agricultural High School in 1980s Chungcheong Province.

Embodying the character of 'Byung Tae', Im Siwan effortlessly captures two varying personal narratives within a single frame. In one, he presents his character in a state of vulnerability, fear etched across his face, as he holds a shovel in the air. Another scene highlights the transformation, with Siwan sporting a confident smile, ruling over his peers with newfound authority.

The newly-released stills of 'Once Upon a Boyhood' have undoubtedly elevated expectations for the Coupang Play series. Anticipation is going strong for the end of November, when the show makes its much-awaited premiere on Coupang Play.
