Girls' Generation 1979[4] (Korean: 란제리 소녀시대) is a South Korean television series based on the 2009 novel of the same name by Kim Yong-hee. The drama slated for eight episodes with 1970s Daegu as the backdrop. It premiered on KBS2 on September 11, 2017, and aired every Monday and Tuesday at 22:00 (KST).[5]
Lee Jung-hee is the second daughter of a family who owns a lingerie factory. She leads a group of teenage girls who have chaotic adventures together. She meets Bae Dong-moon through a group date and Dong-moon immediately falls for her. However, Jung-hee has a crush on Son Jin who is a cute looking senior student of a boys school and begins to follow him around to attract his attention.
One day, Park Hye-joo, a transfer student from Seoul, joins their class and becomes the center of attention, creating jealousy and friction among the heroine and her friends. Despite Jung-hee's attention, Son Jin is attracted to Hye-joo. However, Hye-joo has no romantic feelings for Son Jin as she is interested in Joo Young-choon, an ex-gangster now turned local handy-man.
It's the story of their growing friendship, as the heroine and the new girl starts to bond despite their initial rivalry.
There is also a darker side to the story, with a mystery surrounding an increasing number of sexual assaults in the city. And at the local toy factory, female workers begin disappearing one by one.
The first script reading meeting of the cast was held on August 18, 2017, at KBS Annex Building in Yeouido, Seoul.[1]
