Seo Kang Joon and Ahn Eun Jin to Lead KBS Romance Drama Another Love But You
The new KBS2 series explores the emotional turbulence of longtime couples standing at the crossroads of marriage
By Jang Hojin
Actor Seo Kang Joon has confirmed his return to the small screen with the upcoming KBS2 romance drama Another Love But You, while actress Ahn Eun Jin is in final discussions to join him as the female lead. The series promises a mature take on modern relationships, examining what happens when decade-long partnerships begin to crack under the weight of unspoken expectations and unexpected encounters.
A Story of Love at a Crossroads
Another Love But You centers on longtime couples who find themselves at a pivotal moment as they contemplate marriage. After more than ten years together, the partners begin to experience emotional turbulence when unexpected new connections enter their lives. The drama captures the raw, intertwining emotions of four men and women — those who have shared years of history together and the newcomers who suddenly disrupt their carefully maintained equilibrium.
The premise sets the stage for a nuanced exploration of commitment, desire, and the courage it takes to either recommit to a familiar love or acknowledge that people can grow in different directions. Rather than the fairy-tale beginnings that dominate many romance dramas, Another Love But You tackles the rarely depicted middle chapter of relationships — the moment when staying together becomes a conscious choice rather than an effortless given.
The Cast Takes Shape
Seo Kang Joon will play Nam Gung Ho, an office worker whose world begins to unravel when he senses his longtime partner's emotional distance. Described as someone deeply invested in his relationship, Nam Gung Ho is thrust into an emotional whirlwind he never anticipated, forced to confront whether the love he has built over a decade can withstand the storm.
Ahn Eun Jin is being considered for the role of Lee Mi Do, a charismatic film director whose professional confidence contrasts sharply with the uncertainty she feels in her personal life. Despite her success behind the camera, Mi Do begins to waver in her longtime relationship as new feelings emerge, challenging everything she thought she knew about love and loyalty.
Her agency, UAA, confirmed on January 28 that the actress had received the offer and was reviewing it. Multiple Korean media outlets, including MyDaily, subsequently reported that Ahn Eun Jin had made the decision to appear in the drama, though official confirmation from the production side remained pending at the time of reporting.
Rising Stars Reunite with Romance
For Seo Kang Joon, the project marks a return to the romance genre that first propelled him to stardom. The actor gained widespread recognition through Cheese in the Trap and the sci-fi romance Are You Human?, and most recently earned the 2025 MBC Drama Awards Grand Prize for his performance in Undercover High School. His fans have eagerly awaited his next project, and Another Love But You positions him in a more grounded, emotionally complex role.
Ahn Eun Jin, meanwhile, has emerged as one of the most sought-after actresses in Korean entertainment following her breakout performances in Hospital Playlist Season 2 and the romantic comedy My Happy Ending. Often referred to as a rising rom-com queen, she brings a blend of emotional depth and natural charm that makes her casting particularly fitting for the mature romance at the heart of this series.
Production Outlook
Another Love But You is scheduled to air on KBS2 sometime later in 2026, though a specific premiere date has not been announced. The drama adds to what is shaping up to be a robust year for Korean romance content, with multiple networks competing for viewers with fresh takes on love, commitment, and the complications that arise when hearts begin to wander.
With its focus on the complexities of long-term love and a cast that combines proven chemistry with dramatic range, Another Love But You has the ingredients to become one of the year's most talked-about romance dramas.
