Jung Hae-in Teams Up With Ha-young in Another Rom-Com, ‘Lovestuck’

After “Love Next Door,” Jung Hae-in is set to return in a new rom-com, “Lovestuck,” with Ha-young.

Netflix announced the upcoming K-drama — which is now in production — last May.

Set in a quaint countryside village filled with traditional taffy shops, “Lovestuck” follows a woman with no memories and a man who insists he’s her boyfriend. What begins as a baffling living arrangement slowly unravels into a quirky, sweet, and irresistibly sticky love story.

Jung Hae-in plays Jang Tae-ha, a former youth boxing champion who once walked a dark path in the gang world. Now a small-town boxing coach seeking redemption, Tae-ha’s life is turned upside down when he meets Go Eun-sae — his long-lost first love who no longer remembers him. To protect her, he claims to be her boyfriend, setting the stage for a tangled romance built on a risky lie.

Starring opposite him is rising actress Ha-young, making her rom-com lead debut as Go Eun-sae, an ambitious and sharp prosecutor. While investigating a crime syndicate, Eun-sae suffers an accident that leaves her with amnesia. She wakes up in a rural clinic — and in the company of Tae-ha, a stranger who swears he’s her lover.

As Eun-sae stumbles through this unfamiliar life, she’s slowly drawn to Tae-ha’s warmth and sincerity. Ha-young brings both charm and vulnerability to the role of a woman caught between her past and a romance that might be her future.

“Lovestuck” reunites director Kim Jang-han (“My Demon,” “Do You Like Brahms?”) and writer Mo Ji-hye (“You Raise Me Up”), who last worked together four years ago. With its intriguing setup, countryside charm, “Lovestuck” is poised to be a must-watch for fans of heartfelt stories with a twist.

“Lovestuck,” starring Jung Hae-in and Ha-young, will stream exclusively on Netflix.
