Lee Siu and TWICE's Dahyun share a romantic photoshoot for 'Love Me,' exploring their evolving relationship as childhood friends.

A romantic two-shot gravure of Lee Siu and TWICE's Dahyun has been released. Actor Lee Siu, who is currently appearing in the JTBC Friday drama 'Love Me' (directed by Cho Yong-min, written by Park Un-young and Park Hee-gwon), and Dahyun have unveiled couple gravure. This gravure is a collaboration with the fashion & lifestyle magazine 'Allure Korea,' and the warm and romantic atmosphere is impressive. Additionally, there is candid talk about the story and characters of the 'youngest couple' Seo Jun-so (Lee Siu) and Ji He-on (Dahyun), who deepen their relationship from childhood friends to lovers in the drama 'Love Me.' The youngest Seo Jun-so has lost his place in life, both at home and outside, since his mother Kim Mi-ran (Jang Hye-jin) had an accident seven years ago, making each family member the most lonely existence. Lee Siu describes Jun-so as 'a very ordinary young man in his 20s, living with anxiety and impatience, without special talents or confidence.' He is pursuing graduate school without a clear goal, living each day with fear of the future while being captivated by love. Lee Siu added, 'It was most frustrating to be in a situation where I wanted to do something but didn't know how, leading to repeated failures. It felt truly heartbreaking to see someone with big dreams unable to take action.' Regarding his relationship with He-on, he said, 'We grew up together since kindergarten. We always rushed to each other when something happened and shared our worries.' However, he revealed, 'One day, a moment comes when an inexplicable feeling stabs at my heart,' hinting at the changes in their relationship. He defined the chemistry between Jun-so and He-on as 'the familiarity and comfort built over 20 years,' explaining, 'Although it's not written in the script, we discussed many details to express the time we've built together.' He specifically mentioned a scene where Jun-so naturally opens the refrigerator in He-on's house as if it were his own. Dahyun, who plays Ji He-on, Jun-so's childhood friend who eventually becomes an object of subtle affection, also described their relationship as 'best friends.' Introducing He-on as 'someone who tries to take responsibility for her own life,' Dahyun spoke about her relationship with Jun-so, saying, 'Her words may be blunt, but her actions are very delicate, like preparing water for him.' She continued, 'The familiarity in their relationship has blended so deeply that I think He-on herself wasn't sure if this feeling was love.' She also mentioned, 'Love Me' depicts family and love, friends and lovers, as well as dreams and growth, containing emotions that everyone can relate to in their daily lives. Therefore, some viewers might find themselves shedding tears while watching. 'Love Me' tells the story of a somewhat self-centered and rather ordinary family, each finding their love and growing. The first and second episodes will premiere on December 19, delivering deep emotions to viewers through the irony that 'life doesn't stop, no matter how deep the sadness.' The scene where He-on prepares a cake for Jun-so's father's retirement day, which he forgot, and the moments where Jun-so immediately visits He-on to share his feelings after conflicts with his girlfriend, depict the intimacy possible only through years of friendship. He-on's warm presence, silently accepting Jun-so's feelings and saying, 'It's okay,' reflects the time they have built together. How will these two, who are natural because they are friends and cautious because they are friends, change the 'name' of their relationship? I am curious about what will happen next.
