Yeonwoo and Kim Hyunjin's mutual salvation romance full of excitement knocks on the end of winter.
The new drama 'Lovephobia' (writer Lee Seryeong, director Wang Hyeryeong, produced by WEMAD), which will premiere first on the 19th at 11 p.m. on U+mobiletv and Lifetime, tells the story of Yoon Bia (Yeonwoo), CEO of a dating app who finds AI more comfortable than people, and Han Seonho (played by Kim Hyunjin), a romantic romance novelist, who design smart relationships with AI and come to realize the true meaning of love, and it will be available first via U+mobiletv VOD.
The highlight video released on the 17th unveiled the chemistry romance between Yoon Bia and Han Seonho. Yoon Bia's narration flowing between the two, who keep meeting, saying "this may not be a mere coincidence," foreshadows the beginning of a fateful connection beyond coincidence and piques curiosity.
In the following scene, Yoon Bia, CEO of the AI dating app 'It's You,' shows a cynical attitude, saying love is "a very weak and imperfect thing that can change on a whim at any time." Next, Han Seonho appears and, receiving public evaluation of "what kind of writer makes money by selling their face," experiences an identity crisis between being a writer and a celeb. Han Seonho's younger brother and head of 'HAN Agency,' Han Baekho (Choi Byungchan), reveals, "After more than three years of not being able to write, there was no other way but to make celebs," exposing the inside story. It becomes curious what made Yoon Bia and Han Seonho become, respectively, a love cynic and a writer who cannot write.
Yoon Bia and Han Seonho, who seemed as incompatible as oil and water, begin to clash constantly, and Bia's close friend and co-CEO of 'It's You,' Seol Jaehee (Jo Yunseo), watches with fascination, saying, "This is a sign of Yoon Bia's combat power increasing." Afterwards, recognizing Han Seonho's influence, Yoon Bia admits the dating rumors with him and, for some reason, even announces she will acquire HAN Agency, further entangling the two. The tense chemistry that will unfold between Yoon Bia and 'It's You,' who try to gather information about Han Seonho, and Han Seonho and the people of HAN Agency trying to uncover their schemes, is expected to be another point of interest.
Meanwhile, as Yoon Bia's secret related to 'one hour' is revealed, Bia and Seonho's relationship reaches a turning point. A distressed Yoon Bia collapses into Han Seonho's arms, and Seonho holds her hand to steady her. At the same time, Yoon Bia and Seol Jaehee show differences of opinion over collaboration with HAN Agency. Yoon Bia's remark, "I need Han Seonho," and Seol Jaehee's question, "Is it not something you personally need?" hint that a crack has formed in their once-solid friendship.
Nonetheless, Han Seonho volunteers to be Yoon Bia's guardian angel and slowly breaks down the walls she built around her heart. Yoon Bia's appearance, cautiously revealing her inner thought while holding Seonho's face, "Perhaps it would be okay to stake my fate on this man?", raised the pulse of prospective viewers and made them look forward to the first broadcast.
The new drama 'Lovephobia,' which will depict a distinctive love story with the fresh combination of romance and AI, is produced by WEMAD and will be released on the 19th at 11 p.m. on U+mobiletv and Lifetime.
