Jung Hae In and Ha Young Preview Countryside Rom-Com Mystery in Our Sticky Love

Jung Hae In and Ha Young are preparing to lead a new romantic comedy with a mystery hook, as Our Sticky Love introduced its first teaser materials ahead of an August 7 premiere. The drama centers on Go Eun Sae, played by Ha Young, a prosecutor whose life is abruptly rewritten after she loses her memory and finds herself tied to a man who says he is her boyfriend.

The premise places Eun Sae under the same roof as Jang Tae Ha, played by Jung Hae In, a boxing coach whose certainty about their supposed relationship is not matched by any proof she can recognize. That imbalance gives the drama its central question: is Tae Ha the only person who can help Eun Sae recover her past, or is his claim part of a larger secret she does not yet understand?

The teaser poster leans into that uncertainty. The two leads stand together in Gujin, a remote countryside village known in the story for its traditional yeot shops. Tae Ha appears relaxed, while Eun Sae looks visibly confused, creating an immediate contrast between his confidence and her disorientation. A tagline emphasizing that she has no past and no proof frames him as her only available clue.

A Rom-Com Built Around Missing Memories

Amnesia is a familiar K-drama device, but Our Sticky Love appears to use it less as a simple reset button and more as a way to place its heroine in a social and emotional puzzle. Eun Sae is introduced as a capable prosecutor from the Anti-Corruption Investigation Department at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, a role associated with authority, evidence, and institutional power. After the accident or incident behind her memory loss, she cannot even verify who she is.

That shift gives the teaser its sharpest contrast. One moment, Eun Sae is presented with the polished confidence of a Seoul prosecutor; the next, she wakes in a hospital stripped of the basic facts that once defined her. The drama’s countryside setting then becomes more than a scenic backdrop. Gujin functions as a place where she is physically removed from her former life and forced to depend on clues, strangers, and instincts that may or may not be reliable.

Tae Ha’s entrance complicates the story immediately. He identifies himself as Eun Sae’s boyfriend, but her reaction is skepticism rather than instant comfort. According to the teaser setup, he says their connection began in the mountains, a detail that only deepens her confusion because she has no memory that can confirm or deny it. For viewers, that uncertainty is likely to become the engine of both the romance and the comedy.

Jung Hae In and Ha Young Shift Into Quirky Romance

For Jung Hae In, the role offers a lighter surface than some of his more restrained melodramatic work, while still leaving room for ambiguity. Tae Ha is not introduced simply as a charming local hero. He is a boxing coach with a claim that sounds intimate, convenient, and suspicious all at once. The character’s relaxed smile in the teaser materials suggests warmth, but the absence of proof keeps the audience from settling too quickly.

Ha Young’s Eun Sae appears positioned as the sharper comic counterweight. Her confusion is not passive; the teaser frames her as someone trying to evaluate a bizarre situation with the instincts of a prosecutor, even when her own memory has become unreliable. That setup gives the drama room to balance heart-fluttering cohabitation scenes with investigative tension, especially as Eun Sae tries to reconstruct what happened before she woke up without an identity she could trust.

The drama also signals that it will not remain a purely domestic or village-based romance. The teaser introduces crime boss Baek Sang Gil, played by Heo Sung Tae, and includes scenes of Eun Sae and Tae Ha being chased. Those details suggest that the missing-memory plot may be connected to a broader criminal threat, giving the story a more suspenseful shape than a standard opposites-attract rom-com.

Why the Teaser Is Drawing Attention

The appeal of Our Sticky Love lies in how many familiar K-drama pleasures it folds into one premise. There is forced proximity through cohabitation, a small-town setting with a distinct local flavor, a heroine whose professional identity has been disrupted, and a male lead who may be protector, love interest, suspect, or all three. The yeot-shop village also gives the title a literal sweetness, while the character dynamics make the emotional situation feel deliberately sticky.

The August 7 premiere date gives the production a clear runway to build curiosity around the leads’ chemistry and the truth behind Tae Ha’s boyfriend claim. If the drama can keep the mystery active without overwhelming the romance, it could offer a summer series that feels playful on the surface while still giving viewers a reason to keep looking for clues.

For now, the teaser’s strongest move is refusing to answer its simplest question. Eun Sae does not know whether Tae Ha is telling the truth, and the audience is invited to share that hesitation. In a genre where romantic certainty often arrives early, Our Sticky Love is starting with doubt, and that may be exactly what makes its romance worth watching.
