“Love Me” has shared new stills of Lee Si Woo and TWICE’s Dahyun!
“Love Me” is a remake of a Swedish original series by Josephine Bornebusch that tells the story of a somewhat selfish but perhaps more relatable family, where each member begins their own journey of love and personal growth.
Lee Si-woo plays Seo Jun-seo, a graduate student with a childish dream of romance, and Dahyun plays Ji Hye-on, an aspiring novelist and publishing house editor.
Jun-seo is a typical youngest child, always wanting to confirm and receive love. However, due to their nearly ten-year age difference, he lacks emotional connection with his older sister, Seo Jun-kyung (Seo Hyun-jin).
A sudden accident has weighed on the family, leaving him feeling irresponsible and aloof. He is currently attending graduate school, but his lack of vision for the future also leaves him anxious.
Unlike the immature Junseo, Hye-on has a job and is in charge of her own life. She’s been captivated by books since childhood, and she dreams of becoming a novelist, working at a publishing company.
She’s taken care of Junseo since childhood, replacing the older and more ruthless Jun-gyeong. She knows everything about him, including his romantic history. However, at some point, she realizes she harbors feelings beyond friendship.
The production team explained:
“Lee Si-woo delicately expressed Jun-seo’s complex inner self where anxiety, romance, and childishness coexist, and Da-hyun naturally captured Hye-on’s unique warmth and emotional trembling. The two actors’ fresh yet dense acting chemistry will complete another charm of the youth narrative.”
They continued, “Jun-seo and Hye-on are youths who are so used to each other that they are belatedly facing the subtle emotional changes. The moments on the borderline between friendship and love will be portrayed with a simple yet realistic emotional line. Please watch to see what choices Jun-seo and Hye-on will make.”.
“Love Me” is set to premiere on December 19 at 8:50 p.m. KST with two episodes airing consecutively each week.
