The Setup
Our Sticky Love follows Go Eun Sae, an amnesiac woman who wakes up living with Jang Tae Ha, a boxing coach who insists he’s her boyfriend. Set in a quiet countryside village known for its yeot — traditional Korean taffy — shops, the drama blends a cozy, quirky small-town romance with a much darker backstory simmering underneath.
Jang Tae Ha’s Double Life
The newly released stills highlight two very different sides of Jung Hae In’s character. One shows him casually dressed and grinning at his boxing gym; another shows him in a sharply tailored black suit with a far more serious, guarded expression. That contrast hints at his hidden past — Tae Ha isn’t just a boxing coach, but a former executive within a crime organization.
Jung Hae In described the character as a devoted romantic who’ll do anything to protect the person he loves, while also carrying an endearing clumsy streak. He noted he focused on portraying Tae Ha’s evolution across very different chapters of his life, from struggling boxer to crime organization executive, paying particular attention to the character’s internal conflict once he reunites with Go Eun Sae.
Go Eun Sae’s Hidden Past
Before losing her memory, Go Eun Sae was actually Go Ji Won, an elite, relentless prosecutor who was investigating a violent criminal organization when she was caught in a mysterious accident. Ha Young explained that stripping the character of everything that once defined her allows Go Ji Won to slowly rediscover who she really is, growing through the love and support of the people now around her.
The Villain Closing In
Rounding out the new stills is Heo Sung Tae as Baek Sang Gil, the boss of the very organization Tae Ha once belonged to. Having erased his criminal past and built a new, respectable identity, Baek Sang Gil believed he’d successfully eliminated Go Ji Won — the one person who knew his weakness. Learning she’s still alive, he now begins hunting her down.
Heo Sung Tae said he focused on the contrast between the calm, composed image Baek Sang Gil presents to the world and the ruthless cruelty underneath, aiming to make him more than a straightforward villain.
