‘I'm Against My Romance’ revolves around ex-lovers deciding to give their relationship another shot. As they reunite, they face the question of whether it's a continuation of their past or the start of something entirely new.


The drama has sparked excitement as it comes from the talented director Lee Eung-bok, known for hit shows like ‘Secret,’ ‘Descendants of the Sun,’ ‘Goblin,’ ‘Mr. Sunshine,’ ‘Jirisan,’ and the Netflix series ‘Sweet Home.’


Lee Jong-suk has been proposed for the role of Kim Tae-kyung, the male lead characterised by his sharp instincts and a strong sense of justice. Tae-kyung, a former lover of the carefree daycare teacher Hong Je-bi, rediscovers love after a decade of separation. Actress Go Min-si, recognised for her roles in ‘Love Alarm’ and ‘Sweet Home,’ is a strong contender for the female lead, Hong Je-bi.

Known for his romantic performances, Lee Jong-suk has received acclaim for his roles in dramas such as ‘I Can Hear Your Voice,’ ‘Pinocchio,’ and ‘While You Were Sleeping.’ His role in the 2016 MBC drama ‘W’ earned him the Grand Prize at the MBC Drama Awards.


After his recent drama ‘Big Mouth’ in 2022, where he once again won the Grand Prize at the MBC Drama Awards, Lee Jong-suk's return to the small screen is highly anticipated. The actor has openly shared his romantic relationship with singer-actress IU and is reportedly in talks with Ace Factory, the praised production company behind the ‘Stranger’ series.
