What’s the Story About?
“Love Virus” follows a couple in their ninth year of dating — each other’s first love — who make the unconventional decision to take a “break time” and date other people before marriage, hoping to avoid future regrets about romantic experiences they never had. Since they’ve only ever been with each other, the two agree to explore that curiosity within a set window, aiming to walk into marriage without lingering “what ifs.”
Meet the Characters
Jung Hae In takes on the role of Ha Do Woon, a capable lawyer and the only son of a wealthy family. Beyond his looks and professional success, Ha Do Woon is also athletically gifted and driven — the type who accomplishes whatever goal he sets for himself.
Shin Sae Kyeong plays Kang Chae Rin, a dentist who’s been dating Ha Do Woon for nine years. Known for her striking looks since her school days, Chae Rin has built a life that seemingly lacks nothing — career, romance, work-life balance all intact. But she’s recently started questioning a life that’s only ever followed one path.
Why This Pairing Matters
This marks the first time Jung Hae In and Shin Sae Kyeong have worked together on screen, adding fresh chemistry to a premise that’s already generating buzz for its unconventional take on long-term relationships. The story’s core will focus on how nine years of comfort and familiarity gets tested once both characters step outside it, even temporarily.
While fans wait for “Love Virus” to premiere in 2027, they can catch Jung Hae In in “A Piece of Your Mind” and Shin Sae Kyeong in “The Bride of Habaek,” both streaming on Viki.
