Netflix Sets Global Release for K-Romcom 'Our Sticky Love' on Aug. 7

Cast and director say crime-drama elements raise the stakes around an amnesiac prosecutor’s fake-relationship to broaden the series’ global appeal.

Overview

  • Netflix will release all 12 episodes of Our Sticky Love at once on Friday, Aug. 7, with each episode running about 60 minutes.
  • The story follows Go Eun-sae, an ambitious prosecutor who wakes with total memory loss in the rural village of Yeot, and Jang Tae-ha, a former gang member who poses as her boyfriend to keep her safe.
  • Jung Hae-in stars as Jang Tae-ha, Ahn Ha-young (credited as Ha Young) makes her rom-com lead debut as Go Eun-sae, and Heo Seong-tae plays the crime boss Baek Sang-gil.
  • Director Kim Jang-han and the cast said they deliberately mix romantic-comedy beats with crime-drama tension so the plot creates dramatic situations that show the lead’s willingness to risk himself for love.
  • The title plays on ‘yeot,’ a sticky traditional candy that is also Korean slang with a crude edge, and the series follows Netflix’s strategy of simultaneous global drops to drive immediate international viewing and conversation.
