The upcoming Gwangju Uprising era drama "Youth of May" recently released behind the scenes stills of the drama. In the relevant photos, various actors can be seen taking selfies of themselves with their scripts, as well as studying those scripts diligently. Notably, multiple pictures also include characters wearing eighties-era school uniforms, suggesting that despite the main characters being college students, there will be flashbacks to their high school days.

The photos also suggest a possible modern-day framing device, owing to the presence of modern technology and even a contemporary plastic ice coffee cup. However, any of these objects may just be incidental to production, with the anachronistic objects appearing in frame only because they are being utilized for the actors for reasons of personal convenience. "Youth of May" will begin airing on May 3rd on jTBC and stars Lee Do-hyun and Go Min-si in the leading roles.
