New Delhi, July 10, 2026 — Global streaming giant Netflix has officially announced the premiere date for its highly anticipated romantic comedy series, Such a Ridiculous Love (also internationally recognized during production as Lovestuck). Fans of the genre will not have to wait long, as the platform confirmed the series will make its worldwide debut next month on August 7, 2026.
The announcement was paired with the drop of an intriguing teaser poster and a fast-paced trailer, instantly sending waves of excitement through the global K-drama community. Promoted as a “sticky co-living rom-com,” the series promises a chaotic, heartwarming, and sweet-and-salty romance born from a highly unusual and inseparable bond.
A Chaotic Premise: Amnesia, Lies, and Traditional Taffy
At the heart of Such a Ridiculous Love is a bizarre yet captivating premise. The story revolves around Go Eun-sae (played by Ha Young), a brilliant, sharp-witted, and highly ambitious prosecutor from the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office. While deeply entangled in tracking down a dangerous crime syndicate, Eun-sae is involved in a sudden, severe accident that completely wipes her memory.
When she finally opens her eyes, she finds herself far away from the bustling capital, waking up in a small, rural medical clinic nestled inside a quaint, nostalgic countryside town called Yeot Village—a place famously packed with traditional Korean taffy (yeot) shops.
Standing over her is Jang Tae-ha (played by Jung Hae-in). Tae-ha is a former youth boxing champion who briefly strayed into the dark world of gang life but is now attempting to seek redemption by working quietly as a small-town boxing coach. As fate would have it, Eun-sae happens to be his long-lost first love. However, because she has no idea who she is, let alone who he is, Tae-ha decides to spin a massive lie to protect her from the dangerous people still tracking her down. He boldly introduces himself as her dedicated, doting boyfriend.
With zero records and an entirely blank mind, Eun-sae has no choice but to trust this handsome stranger. This sets off a hilarious, forced co-living arrangement where an elite prosecutor and a sketchy boxing coach must share a roof, giving a literal and figurative meaning to a “sticky” situation.
Visuals Tease a “Sweet and Salty” Dynamic
The newly released teaser poster perfectly captures the distinct, polarized energy of the two leads, setting the tone for the comedic friction ahead. In the visual, the pair are positioned in the front yard of a cozy, traditional countryside house in Yeot Village.
Jung Hae-in’s character, Jang Tae-ha, stands confidently with a warm, tender, yet undeniably suspicious smile that hints at the secret he is keeping. In stark contrast, Ha Young’s Go Eun-sae practically floats in the background, her expression riddled with heavy suspicion and surrounded by literal visual question marks. The bold caption on the poster reads.
The accompanying trailer further elaborates on this dynamic. It starts by showcasing Eun-sae’s past life—pulling up in a sleek sports car and radiating fierce charisma as a high-flying anti-corruption prosecutor. The teaser then quickly cuts to high-stakes tension as she is chased by mysterious figures, before shifting entirely into a dark, moody aura surrounding Tae-ha. Finally, the tone breaks into pure romantic comedy as the two are forced into their rural domestic life, leaving viewers wondering exactly how long Tae-ha can keep up his charade before the brilliant prosecutor pieces her past back together.
The Perfect Creative Formula
Beyond the star-studded cast, Such a Ridiculous Love is generating immense buzz due to the powerhouse creative team working behind the scenes. The series marks a major reunion for Director Kim Jang-han and Writer Mo Ji-hye, who are joining forces again after four years.
Director Kim Jang-han has firmly established himself as a master of visual storytelling and romance, having previously helmed hit dramas like the deeply emotional Do You Like Brahms? and the wildly popular fantasy rom-com My Demon. Writer Mo Ji-hye is equally celebrated for her witty, empathetic dialogue, notably seen in the comedy-drama You Raise Me Up. Together, their track records suggest a series that will effortlessly balance high-energy humor with genuine emotional depth.
Jung Hae-in’s Evolving Rom-Com Reign
For leading man Jung Hae-in, Such a Ridiculous Love marks another exciting chapter in his career. After spending a few years tackling gritty, intense roles in heavy-hitting series like the military drama D.P. and the historical thriller Snowdrop, Jung made a triumphant and highly praised return to lighthearted romance.
His portrayal of Jang Tae-ha allows him to blend his signature soft, romantic charm with a rugged, athletic edge, courtesy of his character’s boxing background. Fans are eager to see how he navigates the duality of a protective, slightly suspicious “fake boyfriend” who is deeply in love with a woman who cannot remember him.
Matching his energy is actress Ha Young, who is making her highly anticipated debut as a romantic comedy lead. Having previously delivered strong performances in dramas like The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, Ha Young brings a fresh blend of vulnerability, sharp comedic timing, and fierce intelligence to the role of the amnesiac prosecutor.
Such a Ridiculous Love is scheduled to consist of 12 episodes and will be available for streaming globally on Netflix starting August 7, 2026.
