JTBC's new Friday drama 'Love Me' simultaneously released three couple posters. Set to premiere in Korea on December 19, JTBC's new Friday drama 'Love Me' (directed by Cho Yong-min, written by Park Un-young and Park Hee-gwon) depicts the story of ordinary families who, while carrying their own sadness, experience love and grow. The couple posters released on the 26th capture moments where families, who have endured loneliness in different ways, cultivate love and new relationships through encounters with others, blossoming once again. The romantic patterns of three couples with differences in generation, sensibility, speed of life, and values are expected to weave a uniquely vibrant love story characteristic of 'Love Me.' Obstetrician Seo Jun-kyung (So Hyun-jin) and music director Chu Do-hyun (Chang Ryul) meet as neighbors. The catchphrase 'Erase my loneliness, and that person comes in' poetically condenses the relationship between Jun-kyung, who has long carried loneliness, and Do-hyun, who sensed that loneliness the quickest. Subtle gestures like handing over one earphone, leaning gazes towards each other, and the silent smiles that spread between them delicately portray the warmth they share. Adults in their 30s, caught between maturity and immaturity, navigate the process of moving towards adult love, which becomes a crucial point in Jun-kyung and Do-hyun's story. Seo Jin-ho (Yu Jae-myung), who unknowingly accumulated fatigue in daily life, retires from work and family to embark on a solo journey. There, he meets guide Jin Jae-young (Yoon Se-ah). They develop a relationship where 'she, who carries the same sadness, accepts my sadness.' Just a single gaze exchanged between them reflects the deep hearts of those who have spent many years together. Between Jin-ho, who harbors suppressed emotions, and Jae-young, who quietly accepts the gaps, it seems as if many layers of time and stories are etched without exchanging words. The quiet comfort that seeps into the heart holds immense power. Expectations are high for how these two in their 50s, beginning the second act of life, will present themselves in the most adult-like manner. Finally, the poster of Seo Jun-soo (Lee Si-woo) and Chi Hae-eun (TWICE's Dahyun) radiates youthful vibrancy. Their bright smiles, playful nudges, and natural shoulder embraces showcase a comfort that can only be shared between friends who have known each other since childhood, where excitement blooms refreshingly. Furthermore, for Jun-soo, who is troubled by an unstable family environment and an uncertain future, Hae-eun becomes a reliable presence beyond family. Feeling that 'she found a part of me I didn't even know,' Jun-soo begins to look at Hae-eun differently. A fresh and innocent romance that can only be depicted in their 20s is expected to unfold between love and friendship. The production team of 'Love Me' explained, 'The three couples each have different emotional densities and qualities, and by being framed, they convey entirely different atmospheres and temperatures. The couple posters released this time capture the emotions of the characters in 'Love Me' opening their hearts to each other in the most natural form.' They further stated, 'The relationships that had been stagnant within families meet someone, convey 'I love you,' and go through the process of 'being loved,' delivering a warm winter moment. We hope for your anticipation.' The new drama 'Love Me' is based on the original Swedish series of the same name produced by Josephine Bournebusch. It has also been remade under the same title 'Love Me' in Australia by BINGE/FOXTEL.
