Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon are set to charm viewers with a new romantic comedy.
The two actors will star in tvN's upcoming Monday–Tuesday drama Annoying Love (written by Jung Yeo-rang, directed by Kim Ga-ram), playing a top star and an entertainment reporter whose fates collide in a love-hate relationship.
Character Posters Reveal Contrasting Roles
The newly released character posters highlight the duo's dynamic. Lee Jung-jae transforms into superstar Lim Hyun-jun, flashing a confident smile worthy of his "Man of the Year" magazine cover. Lim Ji-yeon appears as Wi Jung-shin, a passionate reporter newly transferred from politics to the entertainment desk, multitasking between typing articles and fielding calls without pause.
Playful Chemistry Promised
Producers teased the show's lighthearted tension, saying, "Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon return with an 'enemies-to-lovers' chemistry that will shake up the entertainment industry. Their sharp banter and playful back-and-forth will complete the rom-com charm."
Premiere Date
Annoying Love will follow The CEO Project in tvN's lineup and premieres on November 3 at 8:50 p.m. KST.
Would you like me to also highlight how unusual it is for Lee Jung-jae—best known globally for Squid Game—to take on a rom-com, to give international fans more context?
