Love in Disguise: Drama Overview
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Channel | tvN |
| Genre | Romance thriller |
| Premiere | October 19, 8:50 PM KST |
| Lead couple | Yim Si Wan (Yoon Yi Jun) and Seol In Ah (Kang Jae Hee) |

The Setup
Yoon Yi Jun is an arrogant third-generation chaebol heir who becomes a murder suspect. Kang Jae Hee, a former special forces officer turned detective, goes undercover as his personal secretary to investigate him. Meanwhile, Taegang Group lawyer Kim Si Hyun and chairman’s secretary Lee Hye Jung start a romance of their own.
Romance #1: “Innocence” and “From Suspicion to Trust”
Yim Si Wan picked “innocence” for the lead pair. On paper, he says, a suspect and the detective chasing him could never be together, yet their pure hearts eventually give them common ground in love.
Seol In Ah chose “from suspicion to trust,” noting that the two start out unable to believe each other and slowly grow closer through shared incidents. Her bonus teaser is “unexpected twists.” Roles flip from the usual romance formula: Jae Hee protects Yi Jun and even handles more of the action.
Romance #2: “Mature”
Kim Jung Hyun and Yeonwoo both landed on “mature.” Kim Jung Hyun calls theirs a realistic romance, the kind you might spot among people you know. Yeonwoo says the charm lies in two people who are attracted but don’t get swept away, trading witty remarks instead. Expect relaxed, playful banter next to the lead pair’s bickering and openly clashing feelings.
Why You Should Watch
- Fresh dynamics: a detective who protects the suspect flips the usual script.
- Two flavors of love: youthful sparks plus grown-up chemistry.
