The much-anticipated K-drama What Comes After Love, starring Lee Se Young and Sakaguchi Kentaro, is building excitement with the release of stunning stills that capture the pair’s on-screen chemistry. Set to debut soon, the drama tells the tale of love, separation, and rekindled emotions between two people whose lives are intertwined across two countries.
Romantic Sparks in Japan
On September 27, 2024, the production team released several key images from the show ahead of its grand premiere. These stills feature lead actors Lee Se Young and Sakaguchi Kentaro, portraying characters Choi Hong and Aoki Jungo, respectively. In the series, Choi Hong is a Korean student studying in Japan, where she meets Aoki Jungo, sparking a whirlwind romance. The released images depict the couple’s tender moments, enjoying each other’s company and gradually growing closer.
The chemistry between the two actors shines through, with each still reflecting the warmth and affection that blooms between their characters. Fans are already abuzz over the palpable connection between Lee and Sakaguchi, predicting that their on-screen pairing will be a standout feature of the show.
Lingering Tension in Korea
However, not all is smooth sailing for the couple. Additional stills reveal a very different atmosphere when the duo meets again in Korea after a five-year separation. Their once joyful relationship has become strained, with old wounds and unresolved feelings adding tension to their interactions. The emotional complexity of their reunion is keenly felt, as they grapple with awkwardness and lingering romantic feelings.
The show promises to explore this dynamic thoroughly, keeping viewers on edge as they watch the protagonists navigate their complicated past and uncertain future.
What Comes After Love is adapted from Sarang Hue Oneun Gotdeul, a novel by renowned authors Gong Ji Young and Tsuji Hitonari. The plot centers on the intense romance between Choi Hong and Aoki Jungo, which ultimately falls apart due to their contrasting views on love and the challenges they face as a cross-cultural couple. The drama picks up five years after their breakup, as they reunite in Korea, prompting old feelings to resurface and unresolved emotions to come to the forefront.
In addition to Lee Se Young and Sakaguchi Kentaro, the series boasts a strong supporting cast including Hong Jong Hyun, Nakamura Anne, and Lee Bo Ram. Directed by Moon Hyun Sung, What Comes After Love is expected to bring depth, emotion, and heartache in equal measure.
Premiere Details
What Comes After Love will officially premiere on September 27, 2024, on Coupang TV. The show is scheduled to have a total of six episodes, promising a tight, emotionally-charged narrative that will keep viewers hooked from start to finish.
Fans of both K-dramas and J-dramas are eagerly awaiting this unique cross-cultural love story, with anticipation running high after the release of these stunning stills.
