Dalgona variety show features some idols such as CN Blue’s Jung Yong Hwa, 2PM’s Wooyoung and Taecyeon, Miss A’s Suzy and IU, and others reunited with their first loves, childhood friends and families in their hometowns.
The writer Kim Hee Jae plans to make the drama into an actual musical on stage after the drama ends.
