Get ready for a dose of delightful animosity! tvN's upcoming Monday-Tuesday drama 'Unfair Love' has unveiled character posters for stars Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon, teasing an explosive chemistry set to premiere on November 3rd.

'Unfair Love' centers on the chaotic rivalry between a washed-up top actor, Im Hyun-jun (played by Lee Jung-jae), who has lost his touch, and an ambitious entertainment reporter, Wi Jeong-shin (played by Lim Ji-yeon), determined to expose the truth. The series promises a spectacle of witty confrontations, hard-hitting facts, and stereotype-shattering moments as these two navigate the tumultuous world of entertainment, bound by a hilariously fated animosity.

The released posters showcase Lee Jung-jae exuding the effortless charisma of a top star, gracing a magazine cover with the title '2025 Man of the Year.' His intriguing line, “Give me roles other than detectives now,” hints at a desire to break free from his iconic detective persona and explore new acting territory.

Lim Ji-yeon captivates as Wi Jeong-shin, a 'reporter obsessed with scoops,' depicted relentlessly typing while on the phone, embodying her passionate pursuit of breaking news. Once a rising star in the political department, her career takes an unexpected turn when she's entangled in a major corruption scandal, forcing her into the entertainment beat. Viewers are eager to see how this former political ace adapts to the fast-paced world of entertainment and, more importantly, how her path will cross with top star Im Hyun-jun.

Helmed by Kim Ga-ram, director of 'Good Partner' and 'Nevertheless,' and penned by Jung Seo-ra, the writer behind the hit drama 'Doctor Cha,' 'Unfair Love' is poised to be a major hit. With a stellar cast including Lee Jung-jae, Lim Ji-yeon, Kim Ji-hoon, and Seo Ji-hye, the drama is set to deliver a unique blend of comedy, empathy, and romance. Tune in for the premiere on November 3rd at 8:50 PM KST on tvN.

Netizens are buzzing with excitement, commenting, 'The Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon pairing is already making me anticipate it!', 'I'm really looking forward to their banter,' and 'Unfair Love? The title itself is intriguing.'
