What has shaped me,

is a combination of everything that I ardently loved.

We love Idol groups’ new music video so much that we cannot stop repeating and playing and sending ‘hearts’ through mobile phone games to one another everyday. However, it is the first love that makes us spend several days agonizing over whether to confess. While now is the time to love what we love with our true heart and mind, the three high school girls of <I do like you> couldn't be more passionate. So the sudden confession is strong enough to shake our daily life. Suffering heartbreaking growing pains, the girls are opening their eyes to how it feels to love something and someone. The pains are the journey towards finding not just an instant emotion, but their own identity.  Since we have joined the bittersweet journey, why don’t we stick to the passion that is hidden deep inside our heart?

“Powerful and beautiful!” – Critic Kim Ock-Ran

The honest story of the girls that everyone knows but nobody tells has finally arrived on the stage. During the showcase, the audience was fascinated by the captivating sense of <I do like you> and the three girls presented unfamiliar and confusing emotions through a subtle delivery of lines and performances. And this complete version of <I do like you> is rolling with waves of far deeper emotions. Since the work delivers the girls’ waves of emotions through a sensuous harmony of sound, light, breath and rhythm on the stage, it is like the emotions of love that cannot be defined with words are stronger than all the words in the world.

Synopsis

On a hot summer day, Hye-Ju and Ji-Eun are cleaning the bathroom with tiles heated and bubbles flying. They are in a close senior-junior relationship in a band club and feel fluttered toward each other. However, an unfamiliar emotion begins to stir. At the same time, Hye-Ju shares daily life, which is suffered and broken by fangirling and young love. Flickering light bulbs, love that never seems to begin and unsatisfying grades begin to stir their life. What is worse, So-Hee tells Hye-Ju to go abroad together to study and this is driving Hye-Ju crazy. Even in the bathtub, the light bulb still flickers and a handbook does not help them to open the light bulb cover. They are 18-year old girls that need to go to school. The three girls are facing unfamiliar behaviors among them and Hye-Ju can never say what these emotions are simply and easily.
