JTBC has released the first stills from Love MeThe series, which will be launched in September, confirms the return of Seo Hyun-jin in a melodramatic role made just for her. The series, which launches on December 19follows an obstetrician-gynecologist consumed by a solitude she has ignored for too long. Seven years after a family tragedy shattered her equilibrium, she has closed in on herself, unable to open up or form relationships without feeling threatened. Seen from the outside, she appears strong, brilliant and irreproachable. But in silence, she has become accustomed to living in an inner winter.
A woman who cares for others, but can no longer care for herself
In Love Me, Seo Hyun-jin plays Seo Jun-kyung, a doctor who daily accompanies the birth of new families, while refusing to admit her own, broken for years. The first images show a calm, almost closed face, but with a palpable emotional depth: a tender gaze, a discreet smile, an inner emptiness she can no longer conceal.
Her story is at the heart of a series centered on an ordinary family whose members learn, each in their own way, to love and grow up again. For Jun Kyung, this return to emotion could finally be the beginning of a long-awaited springtime.
The grand return of a beloved melodrama actress
Considered one of the "masters of melo", Seo Hyun-jin here revives a genre that has often revealed her finesse. 7 years after The Beauty Inside, she collaborates again with JTBC, determined to deliver a sensitive, nuanced performance.
The production team describes Jun Kyung as "a woman who seems solid, but whose heart has remained frozen in the past". They promise a deeply human interpretation, capable of bringing warmth even to the heart of the cold.
Adapted from the original Swedish series Love Me by Josephine Bornebusch, the drama will have a special broadcast with episodes 1 and 2 back-to-back on December 19 at 8:50 p.m. on JTBC (awaiting an international broadcaster).
