Two of Korea’s most beloved actors. An office romance with a delicious power-reversal twist. A director who gave us the hit thriller Useless Lies. Filming starting next month. If you’re a K-drama fan and this doesn’t have your full attention yet — it absolutely should.
What Is A Proper Romance About?
A Proper Romance centres on Na Jeong Seok, who was once a military subordinate under Woo A Mi. Years later, the tables have completely turned — Na Jeong Seok is now the arrogant CEO of a start-up company, and in a twist of fate, Woo A Mi joins as his new subordinate.
Power dynamics flipped, unresolved history bubbling beneath the surface, office tension cranked to maximum — honestly, it’s the kind of Korean romantic comedy premise that writes its own chemistry. The real question isn’t whether sparks will fly. It’s how long both of them can pretend they won’t.
