Upcoming tvN drama Love Your Enemy has released a trailer showing Seok Ji Won and Yoon Ji Won in a tear-jerker scene meeting for the first time in 18 years.
Played by Ju Ji Hoon and Jung Yu Mi, the two Ji Won’s are both shocked to see each other after they parted almost two decades before after a brutal break-up.
So shocked, Seok Ji Won asks Yun Ji Won “It’s really you, Yun Ji Won?”, and then we hear Yun Ji Won remembering the last conversation they had so many years ago when she asked him “Should you have come? I really wonder if you should have come?”
The Love Your Enemy trailer then switches to Seok Ji Won recalling how he angrily responded to her question back then, “What are you talking about? I’ve come all the way here to see you?”
All this goes on while Yun Ji Won has yet to say a word in the present.
Until she finally snap from all those intense emotions and responds angrily, “I really hate you too. You’re horrible. You know that?”.
Yes, just like that superb K-drama Crash Course in Romance, we finally have another Korean romance drama featuring main characters over the age of 35 involved in all kinds of angst, and, yes, I couldn’t be happier.
The Love Your Enemy plot
Of course, once you know something about the Love Your Enemy plot, that present day conversation makes a little more sense.
That’s because it follows two people who were born on the same day, with the same name but into families who hate each other.
Because of this, and due to the interference of their parents when they are teenagers and in love, they are forced to break up.
In the present day, the pair are now in their mid-30s with Seok Ji Won both the executive director of a successful construction company and the chairman of the board of directors of Dokmok High School.
Jung Yu Mi meanwhile is the P.E. teacher at the school.
The pair meet at the school for the first time since they were teenagers, with both incredibly shocked to see the other one there.
The 12-episode Love Your Enemy is scheduled to premiere on tvN on November 23rd in the same time slot as the ongoing Jeongnyeon: The Star Is Born, with Viki streaming it internationally in 190 countries.
In other words, if it’s not available in your country, you are incredibly unlucky. Because this one looks amazing!
