Seo Kang Joon and Ahn Eun Jin Begin Work on KBS2 Romance Drama

Seo Kang Joon and Ahn Eun Jin have started work on A Love Other Than Yours, a new KBS2 romance drama built around the shifting emotions of a couple who have been together for a decade. The production has released images from its first script reading, offering an early look at the cast as the series moves toward its September premiere.

The weekend miniseries follows a relationship that has long felt secure, only to be unsettled by feelings and questions neither partner expected. Rather than focusing on a new romance, the story places its attention on the difficult transitions that can emerge after years of shared routines, ambitions and trust.

A relationship at a turning point

Seo plays Nam Goong Ho, an assistant manager at Hoonmin Confectionery who has devoted much of the past 10 years to his relationship with Lee Mi Do. His character faces the strain of trying to hold on to certainty while the relationship around him begins to change. The role places him at the center of a story about commitment meeting unfamiliar pressure.

Ahn takes on Lee Mi Do, a film director who has reached a professional goal but finds herself confronting realities that complicate her sense of direction. Mi Do’s arc connects personal aspiration with the uncertainty of a long-standing partnership, giving the drama a perspective that extends beyond the couple’s private life.

The central premise is rooted in duration. By beginning with two people who already know one another deeply, the series can explore the comforts of familiarity alongside the blind spots it can create. The characters are not learning each other’s names or histories; they are deciding what their history means when the future no longer looks straightforward.

Cast reading sets the tone

The first reading brought together directors Hwang Seung Ki and Lee Ga Ram, writer Yoo Soo Ji and the principal cast. The setting is an important early step for a drama with an ensemble-driven emotional structure, allowing performers to establish rhythm and relationships before filming moves forward.

Supporting roles are set to introduce fresh complications. Lee Joo An plays Han Tae Seung, a lawyer connected to a film company who delivers difficult professional news to Mi Do and later develops feelings for her. Jo Ah Ram appears as Park Soo Ah, a junior employee at Hoonmin Confectionery whose arrival creates new movement in Nam Goong Ho’s life.

Those storylines suggest that the series will approach romance through work, family and the outside connections that can expose tensions within a relationship. The production’s early materials also point to an emphasis on warmth and recognizable workplace dynamics, broadening the narrative beyond the lead couple’s conflict.

What to expect from the new series

A Love Other Than Yours arrives as a weekend drama with an intimate but potentially wide-ranging premise: what happens when love remains present, yet the life surrounding it changes? Seo and Ahn’s pairing gives the series two performers positioned to carry that quiet emotional contrast, from ordinary affection to moments of doubt.

The drama is scheduled to premiere on KBS2 on September 12 at 9:20 p.m. KST. It is also slated for international availability through Amazon Prime Video in more than 240 countries, making the new romance accessible to viewers well beyond its domestic broadcast.

Its setting within a weekend schedule also gives the production room to follow the people around the central pair, not just their most dramatic decisions. That wider lens may help the show connect emotional change to the everyday places where it becomes visible: offices, creative work, family life and the private conversations that follow a difficult day.

As production continues, the first table-read images establish the show’s key promise: a romance interested not only in how people come together, but in how they keep choosing one another when work, dreams and unexpected new circumstances begin to pull at the life they have built.
