Jung Hae-in and Ahn Ha-young promote Netflix series 'Our Sticky Love'

Netflix will premiere the original Korean series "Our Sticky Love" this Friday. The romantic comedy stars Jung Hae-in as Jang Tae-ha, a boxing coach, and Ahn Ha-young as Ko Eun-sae, an ambitious prosecutor who wakes up in the village of Yeot with no memory. The plot follows the pair as they navigate their relationship and uncover secrets about their shared past.

During a press conference on Wednesday, Jung described his character as the epitome of steadfast love and the most devoted romantic partner he has ever played. He noted that while the character is romantic enough to risk his life, he is also clumsy and awkward due to a lack of previous relationship experience. Ahn described the emotional core of the show as a dynamic between an anxious girlfriend and a secure boyfriend.

Director Kim Jang-han, known for "My Demon" and "Do You Like Brahms?", explained that the series blends romance with elements of crime, thriller, noir, and action to highlight the protagonist's devotion. The series also features Heo Seong-tae, known for "Squid Game," as a ruthless crime boss named Baek Sang-gil.

The production team highlighted the significance of the title. The Korean word for the traditional sticky candy, "yeot," serves as a metaphor for the characters' connection. While one source focuses on the sweetness of the confection, another source notes that the original Korean title uses a provocative idiom that can be interpreted as slang for a "f---ed up" situation.
