'Daesang actor' Seo Kang-jun and 'trend actor' Ahn Eun-jin meet as a couple in their 10th year of dating through KBS 2TV's 'Not you, another relationship'.
This new KBS 2TV Saturday-Sunday miniseries 'Not you, another relationship' (directed by Hwang Seung-ki·Lee Ga-ram, written by Yoo Soo-ji, produced by UNI CHEM), to be broadcast in the second half of this year, is a realistic, relatable melodrama about a couple in their 10th year of dating whose familiar lovers face unfamiliar feelings. It fills the place where passion has cooled with loyalty and trust, and portrays the story of longtime lovers torn between breaking up and marriage. In that dead end, they encounter fractures of feeling they never imagined, and the process of reexamining the essence of love and relationships is expected to create a painfully real sense of empathy. Added to this, Seo Kang-jun, who won his first acting daesang last year demonstrating both acting ability and topicality, and Ahn Eun-jin, who has established herself as the rom-com goddess of the moment, join the cast, likely giving wings to the very realistic romantic acting.
First, Seo Kang-jun plays Namgung-ho, deputy manager of the Hoonmin Bakery TF team. Namgung-ho is a kind man with the charm and humor to make anyone his person within 10 minutes. So people think he grew up without a flaw, but because of a mother who only causes trouble, he experienced the storms of life early on more times than he can count. Each time, the one who cried more sadly than himself at his side was his lover, Imi. For Seo Kang-jun, whose visuals are already melodramatic, viewers had poured out a wish to see a properly executed melodrama. With his accrued acting depth and expanded range, there is already hot interest in how Seo Kang-jun will portray the emotional waves a man experiences because of love.
The film director Imi is played by Ahn Eun-jin. Imi was a promising newcomer who drew global attention with her university graduation film. But her projects repeatedly fell through against the wall of reality, and she lost her shine after repeated disappointments and is now at rock bottom. Ahn Eun-jin, who has brought realistic vitality to every character and drawn viewers' empathy in each work, is expected to convincingly portray the psychology of a woman wandering between the comfort of a decade-long love and the suddenly arrived unfamiliar feelings, increasing the immersion of the drama.
The distinctive realistic melodramatic point of this work, as the title suggests, begins with another relationship, not the 'you' you thought was so obvious. Although they are a relationship that has shared feelings so deep they cannot be explained by time, having endured each other's lowest points for a long time, it is precisely that familiarity that makes them falter. After what might be called a 'relationship reflection period,' whether that end will be a break-up or marriage, the realistic choices and emotional ripples of a 10-year couple are expected to create a melodrama that will generate synergy when Seo Kang-jun and Ahn Eun-jin meet.
The production team said, "Seo Kang-jun and Ahn Eun-jin have the power to convey a character's emotions authentically and naturally draw viewers into the story. Because the work deals with such realistic love stories, it is all the more reassuring that these two actors are together. We are confident that the two actors will engrave real emotion and narrative into the moment-to-moment experiences of two men and women who waver between familiar love and unfamiliar feelings, things that could happen to anyone, making many viewers empathize as if it were their own story."
Meanwhile, the new KBS 2TV Saturday-Sunday miniseries 'Not you, another relationship' is a work in which director Hwang Seung-ki, who was recognized for his stylish directing in the drama The Matchmakers and 'Campaign', and newcomer writer Yoo Soo-ji, who is challenging her first miniseries, have joined forces. It will air in the second half of 2026 and will also be made available to viewers worldwide through the global streaming service Amazon Prime Video.<
