K-drama fans, get ready — Lee Na Young is heading back to the movies, and the role sounds like nothing she’s played before. Her agency EDEN9 confirmed on September 8 that she’s joining a new romance drama that dives deep into love’s messier, more complicated side.
What Is “Love Counselor” About?
Lee Na Young will lead the film as Oh Bo Mi, a woman whose view of love is unconventional and emotionally tangled. The story explores how people get pulled into relationships through devotion, control, and dependence — with Oh Bo Mi believing that even shared pain can be its own form of love. It’s a bold, introspective character that marks a shift from her recent television work.
Director and Industry Buzz

His indie sensibility paired with Lee Na Young’s screen presence has already generated excitement among Korean film watchers.
