Netflix has confirmed production of The Facade of Love, a new series led by Lee Dong-wook, Jeon So-nee, Jung Yu-mi and Lee Jong-won. Directed by Mo Wan-il (The World of the Married, The Frog) and written by Ha Su-jin (The Matchmakers, Sell Your Haunted House), the series asks what happens when one night outside of your normal routine cracks open everything you thought was solid.
The Facade of Love begins when Ji-hun and Hu-kyung, two strangers far from home, spend an unforgettable night together in an unfamiliar place. Both know that once they return to Korea, life is supposed to go back to normal. But the connection they share follows them home and small cracks begin to appear, slowly upending the lives of four people.
Mo Wan-il, known for his sharp eye for emotional detail and tension-filled storytelling, brings that sensibility to a story where the real drama unfolds not in big declarations, but in the quiet fractures of everyday life. Paired with Ha Su-jin's grounded, character-driven writing, the series follows how attraction turns into consequence, and how one choice can ripple through a marriage, a family and a life carefully built on appearances.
The casting lineup adds to the anticipation:
Lee Dong-wook plays Ji-hun, a character pulled between what he feels and what he thinks is right. Known for shifting seamlessly across genres in titles like Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, Hell Is Other People and Tale of the Nine Tailed, he brings his profound emotional depth to the role.
Jeon So-nee plays Hu-kyung, the woman who unexpectedly becomes the axis of Ji-hun's emotional upheaval. After delivering nuanced performances in Parasyte: The Grey, Melo Movie and As You Stood By, she embodies a quiet intensity in a mysterious character who is both anchor and catalyst.
Jung Yu-mi plays Sun-hee, Ji-hun's wife. Starring in The School Nurse Files, Sleep, Love Your Enemy, Live, Discovery of Love, Sleep, Kim Ji-young, Born 1982, and Train to Busan, Jung Yu-mi is known for making internal conflict feel deeply real - a strength she brings to a woman confronted with a shocking truth.
Lee Jong-won plays Dae-hee, Sun-hee's younger brother, who becomes entangled with Hu-kyung in ways no one expects. A fast-rising star from Brewing Love, Knight Flower, The Golden Spoon and Salmokji: Whispering Water, he adds a unique energy to the ensemble.
As their relationships knot together, The Facade of Love peels back what lies beneath the polished surfaces of their lives: desire, guilt, hurt and the gap between the stories we tell ourselves and the truths we can't escape.
The Facade of Love will premiere exclusively on Netflix.
