Plot: A Journey Through Love and Loneliness
Seo Hyun-jin plays Seo Joon-kyeong, a successful OB-GYN who seems to have everything—beauty, career, and confidence. However, she hides a painful secret. Seven years ago, a tragic accident tore her family apart. Since then, she has lived with fierce independence, determined to protect her emotional wounds and avoid vulnerability.
Her life begins to change when she meets a man who sees through her solitude. As their relationship grows, Love Me explores how love can heal deep scars and reconnect broken hearts. The drama highlights themes of resilience, rediscovery, and emotional transformation.
This series is a Korean remake of the Swedish drama “Älska mig”, known for its raw storytelling and realistic portrayal of relationships. It promises a journey of renewal, empathy, and connection.
