Our Sticky Love: Netflix’s Quirky Romantic Comedy Premieres in 2026
Netflix has unveiled the first look at its upcoming romantic comedy Our Sticky Love, one of the standout titles introduced during the Next on Netflix 2026 Korea showcase held on January 21 in Seoul. The annual event, attended by Netflix executives and leading actors, revealed the creative direction and lineup of dramas, films, and variety shows slated for release this year. Among the highlights was the charming reveal of Our Sticky Love, accompanied by stills featuring its leads Jung Hae In and Ha Young.
The series promises to deliver a heart‑fluttering blend of humor, tenderness, and unexpected romance. At its core, Our Sticky Love tells the story of Go Eun Sae (played by Ha Young), a sharp and ambitious prosecutor who suddenly loses her memory after a mysterious accident. She awakens in a quiet countryside village famous for its rows of yeot shops—traditional Korean taffy stores that give the drama both its title and its sweet, sticky metaphor. There, she encounters Jang Tae Ha (played by Jung Hae In), a passionate boxing coach who insists he is her boyfriend. Their forced cohabitation sets the stage for a quirky yet deeply emotional love story.
Jung Hae In’s character, Jang Tae Ha, is a man with a complicated past. Once a promising youth boxing champion, he fell into the world of gangs and violence. Rough around the edges but driven by passion, Tae Ha eventually decides to leave his criminal life behind and start anew as a boxing coach in a small town.
However, during what is supposed to be his final job for the gang, fate intervenes. He crosses paths with his first love, Go Eun Sae, who no longer remembers him due to her accident. Faced with the chance to be close to her again, Tae Ha begins a dangerous lie—claiming to be her boyfriend—knowing that the truth could put his life at risk.
Ha Young’s Go Eun Sae is equally compelling. Before her accident, she was a rising star in the Anti‑Corruption Investigation Department at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office. Known for her intelligence, precision, and determination, Eun Sae was in the middle of tracking down a powerful crime syndicate when her life was suddenly upended.
Awakening in the countryside, stripped of her memories, she finds herself vulnerable yet curious about the man who insists he is her partner. Though initially skeptical of Tae Ha’s claims, Eun Sae gradually begins to warm to him, rediscovering emotions she had long buried beneath her career ambitions.
The drama’s setting plays a crucial role in shaping its tone. The rustic village, lined with shops selling sticky taffy, becomes a metaphor for the romance between Eun Sae and Tae Ha—sweet, messy, and impossible to escape once it begins. Their relationship unfolds with humor and tenderness, capturing the awkwardness of living together under false pretenses while slowly building genuine affection.
With Jung Hae In’s ability to portray layered, emotionally complex characters and Ha Young’s fresh charm as a prosecutor caught between duty and desire, Our Sticky Love is poised to be one of Netflix Korea’s most talked‑about romantic comedies of 2026. The series blends the thrill of crime and memory loss with the warmth of a countryside romance, offering viewers both laughter and heartfelt moments.
Netflix confirmed that Our Sticky Love will premiere in the third quarter of 2026, making it a highly anticipated addition to the platform’s lineup. Fans of Jung Hae In’s tender portrayals and Ha Young’s rising star power can look forward to a drama that is as sweet—and sticky—as its name suggests.
