Joo Ji-hoon and Jung Yumi learn to Love Your Enemy

by tccolb

A new love story on tvN will soon be sweeping us off our feet, kick-starting promos with stills from the first script reading, where Joo Ji-hoon (Blood Free) re-romances Jung Yumi (The School Nurse Files) in Love Your Enemy (previously Meeting Love on a Log Bridge).

At the young age of eighteen, our two leads were madly in love and it seemed like destiny was on their side with both sharing the same birthday as well as the same first name: Seok Ji-won (Joo Ji-hoon) and Yoon Ji-won (Jung Yumi) respectively. But alas, what’s in a name and would either Ji-won be less sweet were they not a Seok or Yoon? And though it wasn’t death or a Truck of Doom (as far as we know) that parted them, their warring families did lead them to a devastating break-up. The drama then fast forwards to 18 years later when Seok Ji-won is appointed as the new director of Dokmok High School, where Yoon Ji-won just so happens to be the PE teacher.

Although we don’t yet know what sparked the fiery feud between the Seok’s and Yoon’s, we’re told that it spans three generations. And the current crossfires seem to center around Yoon Ji-won’s grandfather – the former director of Dokmok High School – Kim Gab-soo (Queen of Tears) and Seok Ji-won’s father, Chairman Lee Byung-joon (My Sweet Mobster). However, as this is a rom-com, hopefully a peace treaty will soon be put in place and the story can focus on all the swoony goodness that comes with Ji-won x Ji-won finding love again.

I imagine Kim Ye-won (Call It Love) would also appreciate seeing a happy reconciliation between her two childhood friends. But Seok Ji-won will have some competition with student teacher Lee Shi-woo (Perfect Family) crushing on Yoon Ji-won. Rounding out the community at Dokmok High School, the cast also includes math teacher Jeon Hye-jin (Soundtrack #2) and school administrator Lee Seung-joon (Love Next Door) among other supporting characters.

Directed by PD Park Joon-hwa (Alchemy of Souls, What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim) with scripts by Im Ye-jin (The Tale of Nokdu, Moonlight Drawn By Clouds), tvN’s Love Your Enemy will be premiering on November 23, following Jeongnyeon – The Star Is Born in the weekend slot.

Romeo and Juliet second chance at romance minus the fake death. Since its Joo Ji Hoo and Jung Yumi, I am all for this romcom.

I thought so too (and was maybe unreasonably excited 😅) but then in the smaller pic it looks like it might just be shiny? Cannot tell! Maybe a Beanie will dig up more pics so we can do this important recon! 🧐

Never forget that in Romeo and Juliett it is the parents who are in rebellion. Just as in this story the kids were never the problem.

I will definitely be watching this one. I really enjoy watching romcoms featuring older couples, instead of twenty-something , another high schoolers or another chaebol romance. Wish there are more mature romcoms like Crash Course in Romance, My Sweet Mobster, Romance in the House and Love Your Enemy.

I love Yumi and Kim Gab-soo. Kim Gab-soo is one of my favorite veteran actors. I hope his role here is better than "Queen of Tears."

Love On a Log Bridge was so much more evocative than this present title... I don't know why they dumb down English titles to these prosaic words. The same thing happened with Live Next Door as well. The translators need to realise the mood that words convey, and Love Your Enemy certainly doesn't catch my attention AT ALL.

*Love Next Door...
Live Next Door also worked in a way because it was more about the neighborhood than the romance IMO, but still so much less nuanced than Omma Chingu Adeul (Mom's Friend's Son) which carries it's own history just with words.
