Netflix released the couple still cuts on the 28th for the new original series "Our Sticky Love" (written by Mo Ji-hye, directed by Kim Jang-han), which is slated for release on August 7.
"Our Sticky Love" is a romantic comedy depicting the sticky and heart-fluttering cohabitation between Ko Eun-sae (played by Hayoung), a prosecutor suffering from amnesia, and Jang Tae-ha (played by Jung Hae-in), a boxing coach who insists he is her boyfriend.
The still cuts released today spark curiosity by capturing the suspicious boyfriend Jang Tae-ha appearing before the memory-loss-stricken Ko Eun-sae at an unfamiliar countryside hospital, followed by a moment where Ko Eun-sae quickly plants a surprise kiss on him after her initial shock. With affectionate gazes toward each other and ultra-close skinship previewed, expectations are high for the sweet-and-salty romance the two will portray.
The chemistry between the two actors also draws attention. Jung Hae-in shared his thoughts, saying, "Actor Hayoung is truly an actor with immense acting passion and positive energy. She portrayed the character of Ko Eun-sae with great delicacy, which helped me immensely throughout our acting."
Hayoung also expressed deep trust, stating, "I learned so much from actor Jung Hae-in. He always pondered and asked for my opinions together on how to make the two characters look more lovable and how to create more heart-fluttering and beautiful scenes. These processes were a tremendous help to my acting."
Selecting taffy as the key metaphor penetrating the relationship in the work, Jung Hae-in explained, "Taffy sticks together more tightly as the temperature rises. The two of them are also a relationship that holds onto each other more firmly and overcomes hardships together as trials arise." He emphasized, "Jang Tae-ha and Ko Eun-sae are characters who meet each other and gradually change and grow. I hope you will pay attention to the process where they experience various hardships and trials, and come to trust and rely on each other even more firmly."
Hayoung shared, "If you focus on watching the process where the love between the two, starting from coincidence and leading to destiny, crosses paths and bumps into each other while entangling stickily like taffy, you will be able to feel a deep sweetness. Please watch how Ko Eun-sae's exploding energy and Jang Tae-ha's steadfastness interact with each other."
The Netflix series "Our Sticky Love," which deals with the sticky and pure romance of Jung Hae-in and Hayoung, consists of a total of 12 episodes and will be released via Netflix on Friday, August 7.
