The upcoming Korean drama “Another Love But You” is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated romance series of 2026. With Seo Kang Jun and Ahn Eun Jin confirmed as the leading pair, the drama promises to deliver a realistic and emotional story about love, loyalty, and the difficult choices that come with long-term relationships. Here is everything you need to know about this exciting new project.
What is “Another Love But You” About?
“Another Love But You” is a realistic romance drama that explores the emotional journey of a couple who have been together for ten years. The story follows Nam Goong Ho (Seo Kang Jun) and Lee Mi Do (Ahn Eun Jin) as they navigate the tricky period where the initial passion of their relationship has faded. They find themselves at a crossroads, torn between the comfort of familiarity and the uncertainty of new emotions. The drama asks a simple but tough question: what happens when someone new enters your life and shakes everything up?
The title hints at the core conflict—the possibility of finding another love while still being with the person you have always loved. As the couple fills the space left by cooling passion with loyalty and trust, they struggle with the decision to either break up or get married. The story gains momentum when new characters appear, bringing unexpected emotional changes that make both leads question everything they thought they knew about their relationship.
Meet the Lead Cast
Seo Kang Jun takes on the role of Nam Goong Ho, a deputy manager in the TF team at Hoonmin Confectionery. He is described as a warm and humorous man who can make anyone feel comfortable within minutes. But beneath his cheerful exterior, Nam Goong Ho carries the weight of a difficult past, mainly due to his troublesome mother. Throughout all his hardships, his girlfriend Lee Mi Do has been his biggest supporter, often crying more than he did during tough times. Seo Kang Jun, who won the Grand Prize at the 2025 MBC Drama Awards for his role in “Undercover High School,” is expected to bring depth and sensitivity to this emotionally complex character.
Ahn Eun Jin plays Lee Mi Do, a film director who once gained global attention for her university graduation project. However, she now faces the harsh reality of the industry as her projects repeatedly fall through, leaving her at a low point in her career. Despite her struggles, Lee Mi Do is described as a strong and charismatic woman who shines brightest on set. Ahn Eun Jin, known for her roles in “My Dearest” and the romantic comedy “A Kiss for No Reason,” is expected to bring authenticity and emotional depth to a woman caught between the safety of a decade-long relationship and the pull of new, unfamiliar feelings.
Full Cast and Character Details
The production team has also confirmed two additional cast members who will play key roles in stirring up emotions for the lead couple.
Lee Joo Ahn joins the drama as Han Tae Seung, a lawyer at Jaegang Law Firm. He is initially introduced as a tough opponent who takes on a case for a film company that unfairly dismissed Lee Mi Do. But as he gets to know her, he becomes fascinated by her resilience and strength. His interest slowly shifts from winning cases to winning her attention, making him a significant new presence in her life. Lee Joo Ahn, who impressed viewers in last year’s “The Tyrant’s Chef,” is expected to bring a new charm to this role.
Jo Aram will play Park Su Ah, a junior colleague who shares a special past with Nam Goong Ho. When she joins Hoonmin Confectionery and reunites with him, old feelings resurface. Her quiet but steady presence sends ripples through his already unsettled heart. Jo Aram, known for her performances in “Doctor Cha” and “The Auditors,” is anticipated to make a strong impression in this role.
