JTBC lifts the veil on the day that changed everything in " Love Me" . New images reveal the precise moment when Seo Joon-kyung's family cracked, a fracture whose echoes still resonate seven years later.
The day it all stopped
Before the tragedy, the Seo family was an almost perfect match. Seo Joon-kyung (Seo Hyun-jin), a respected obstetrician-gynecologist. Her father, Seo Jin-ho (Yoo Jae-myung), a respected administrative executive. And Jun-seo (Lee Si-woo), the youngest, a carefree student.
Then their mother, Kim Mi-ran (Jang Hye-jin), has an accident. In an instant, everyday life collapses. In the new shots, Joon-kyung stands frozen in front of the emergency room, her gaze drained. Jin-ho trembles, unable to mask her fear. Jun-seo fights her tears, too young to understand... but young enough to suffer.
Seven years of silence and guilt
After the shock, paths diverge. Crushed by guilt, Joon-kyung distances herself from her own family. Jin-ho tries to carry the burden of care and financial difficulties alone. Jun-seo locks herself away in a solitude that no one can see.
The production sums up this pivotal moment: "These images capture the despair, fear and sadness etched on the faces of Joon-kyung, Jin-ho and Jun-seo that day."
She adds an essential reading key: "Mi-ran's accident marks the real start of their story. The cause is known, but the important thing is not what they have lost... it's what they have left."
And announces the beating heart of the series: "The true beginning of Love Me is when they finally look into each other's eyes after years of isolation. We invite you to follow this family as they learn to recognize their loneliness... and learn to love again."
Love Me promises less an accident investigation than a journey to repair.
First broadcast December 19 on jTBC (no OTT yet).
