Our Sticky Love hits No. 6 as Jung Hae-in slips into rom-com noir

The Netflix original series 'Our Sticky Love' entered the domestic TOP10 just one day after its release. Following the global release of all 12 episodes on the 7th at 5:00 p.m., the work rose to 6th place on Netflix's 'Today's TOP10 Series in Korea' as of the morning of the 8th.

Go Eun-sae and Jang Tae-ha's Cohabitation in Yeot Village

'Our Sticky Love' begins with the cohabitation of Go Eun-sae (Ha Young), an elite prosecutor who has lost her memory, and Jang Tae-ha (Jung Hae-in), a boxing coach who claims to be her boyfriend. After waking up in an unfamiliar rural hospital following an accident, Go Eun-sae has lost her memories of living as Go Ji-won, a prosecutor who was tracking a criminal organization, and follows the mysterious Jang Tae-ha to 'Yeot Village.'

Jang Tae-ha, who dreams of a new life away from the organization while performing his final mission, meets his first love Go Eun-sae again and begins a life-threatening lie. Based on the acting range he built through 'D.P.', 'Connect', and 'Love Next Door', Jung Hae-in portrays Jang Tae-ha, who oscillates between action and romantic comedy.

Ha Young, challenging her first romantic comedy, took on both the loveliness and the determined face of prosecutor Go Eun-sae. Jung Hae-in introduced Tae-ha as a "one and only devoted man," emphasizing the emotional line where Tae-ha and Eun-sae gradually fall for each other, while Ha Young stated, "Intense melodrama and belly-aching comedy will hectically entertain you."

Rom-Com Noir by Director Kim Jang-han and Writer Mo Ji-hye

Director Kim Jang-han of 'Do You Like Brahms?' and 'My Demon' joined forces with writer Mo Ji-hye of 'You Raise Me Up.' Director Kim stated, "I considered the romance and comedy scenes of the two actors to be the most important, and I tried to balance it so that the noir scenes would not become excessively heavy," noting that Jang Tae-ha's sensibility and action, Go Eun-sae's loveliness, and Baek Sang-gil's charisma are at the center of the work.

The tension of the drama is driven by Baek Sang-gil, the organization boss played by Heo Sung-tae. Baek Sang-gil is a character who persistently pursues a prosecutor after learning that a prosecutor who knows his weakness is still alive. Heo Sung-tae said, "I have returned as Baek Sang-gil, who is even more wicked than Jang Deok-su in 'Squid Game.' The tension in the scenes where Jang Tae-ha, Go Eun-sae, and Baek Sang-gil are intertwined maximizes the fun of the drama."

From Kim Young-ok to Cha Chung-hwa, the Residents of Yeot Village

The supporting cast surrounding Yeot Village also fills the drama. Kim Young-ok plays Go Yeon-hong, Jang Tae-ha's grandmother suffering from dementia; Jeon Bae Soo plays Hong Do-yeop, the director of Hong Boxing; and Seo Jeong-yeon plays Do Jeong-hwa, Hong Do-yeop's wife. Jang Hye-jin, Cha Chung-hwa, and Kim Mi-hwa joined as residents called 'Yeot Village SES,' and Lee Jae Won, Jung Soon-won, Choi Yu-ju, and Chi Yu-ju also appear.

Jung Hae-in showcased his melodrama acting through 'Something in the Rain', 'One Spring Night', and the film 'Tune in for Love', before moving through 'Prison Playbook', the 'D.P.' series, 'Snowdrop', 'Love Next Door', and the film 'I, the Executioner'. 'Our Sticky Love' is Jung Hae-in's return to a Netflix original three years after the 'D.P.' series. Ha Young has continued her activities as a leading actress, moving between recent dramas and films.
