Seo Hyun-jin Returns to JTBC Melodrama After 7 Years with 'Love Me'

Actress Seo Hyun-jin is set to warm up viewers' hearts this winter with a captivating emotional melodrama in the new JTBC Friday-Saturday series, 'Love Me'. The drama is scheduled to premiere on December 19th and tells the story of an ordinary family, each beginning their own journey of love and growth.

Seo Hyun-jin will portray the role of 'Seo Joon-kyung', an obstetrician and gynecologist. While appearing as a 'wannabe single' with a successful career and striking looks, she harbors a deep loneliness stemming from an unresolved incident that struck her family seven years prior.

Her life, lived with fierce determination to hide her solitude, begins to waver with unexpected emotional exchanges with her neighbor, Joo Do-hyun (played by Jang Ryul). As quiet affection blossoms, Joon-kyung slowly starts to open her heart, learning to love again and understand herself and her family.

The recently released poster captures this moment of change. Seo Hyun-jin's gentle smile with closed eyes, accompanied by the caption 'I've decided to love earnestly', hints at a turning point in her life as she resolves to love both the man beside her and her family. Her signature ability to naturally draw viewers into her emotions with a single expression, combined with the warm atmosphere, perfectly conveys the gentle warmth characteristic of winter romances.

This project holds significant meaning as it marks Seo Hyun-jin's return to JTBC for a melodrama after 7 years, since her role in 'Beauty Inside'. Expectations are high for the new facets and masterful romantic acting she will showcase this winter, building on her proven ability to portray diverse characters and lead the romance of an era.

The production team explained, "'Love Me' is a story about people who appear to be doing fine on the outside but are incredibly lonely, and how they come to understand and open their hearts to each other." They added, "The teaser poster captures the moment when the heart, which had stopped, begins to move again."

They concluded, "We anticipate that Seo Hyun-jin's delicate acting and Director Jo Young-min's emotionally resonant direction will provide viewers with a moment to look into their hearts and feel love again this winter. We ask for your keen interest and anticipation until the first broadcast." 'Love Me' is based on the Swedish original series of the same name by Josephine Bornebush, which was also remade in Australia under the title 'Love Me'.

Netizens are expressing excitement for Seo Hyun-jin's return to a JTBC melodrama after seven years. Comments include, "Seo Hyun-jin is an actress whose melodramas are always worth watching! This winter will be warm thanks to 'Love Me'", "The poster alone makes me feel excited", and "I want to watch the drama quickly!"
