Synopsis
Girls' Generation 1979 (2017) is a South Korean coming-of-age drama you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Hong Seok-ku, it unfolds in the city of Daegu during the late 1970s, before the economic shifts that would reshape the country.
Lee Jung-Hee is a second-year high school student and the second daughter of a family that runs a small toy factory. She's bright and outgoing, and the series follows her and her close circle of friends through the texture of adolescence: first love, friendships that turn out to be less solid than they seemed, and the quiet pressure of parents who already know what they want her life to look like. Bona (of K-pop group WJSN) leads the cast and keeps the character grounded rather than sentimental.
Period dramas can grow soft on the past, but this one just watches it carefully. Stream Girls' Generation 1979 online on iFILM.
