Salut D'Amour (Hangul: 사랑의 인사; RR: Sarang ui Insa; lit. Love Greeting), despite its French name, is a South Korean television series that aired on KBS2 from November 1, 1994 to April 25, 1995 for a total of twenty five episodes.
The theme of Salut D'Amour, unlike later versions, are not interconnected to one another by episode. Each episode contains a separate but closely related theme.
The Episode starts with a documentary show on Korea during the war, Korea during the year he was born in (1975)-riots and crowded streets in South Korea. The narrator talked about the population census taken on September 18, 1995. The population stood at 37,680,000 male and female sex ratio (1740:1124, males to females), as well as family events in 1982. The episode proceeds on showing a television telecasting a baseball match. (The documentary is actually shown on a television shown on a drama.)
Young-min continues to talk about his childhood days with Hae-yung studying together in the living room. Hae-yung switched off the television, and Young-min switched on the television as Hae-yung was doing her homework and Young-min was watching a football match. The duo fought for the television briefly before Young-min got up and kicked and stepped on Hae-yung's books.
The next scene showed Young-min getting ninety marks for a test, looking towards Hae-yung's paper who was sitting beside her. As Young-min was cheekily smiling on her bad results, she pinched his elbow. A siren suddenly wailed and the entire class hid under their tables. Young-min was smiling away as he saw Hae-yung, who looked rather unhappy. He then posed a humorous expression to cheer her up. Young-min smiled in response.
Following that, the episodes shows the view of the high school campus Young-min and his friends were studying in (along with the introduction title), and then onto Young-min sitting in the AVA room listening to Hae-yung lectures. The duo later went to have a coffee break.
Later scenes introduces Young-min friends and his friends at the University campus; Fengguan is being first introduced while making a phone call as Young-min rushed up to him.
One the same day, Young-min, Hee-dong and Hongguan were doing acrobatic lessons in the school hall under the guidance of the instructor. Young-min, who was wearing a cap, heard Fengguan grumbling on being tired. The camera turn at the three boys simultaneously–Young-min, Hee-dong to Hongguan.
