Synopsis
Prosecutor Go Eun-sae (Ahn Ha-young) wakes up with no memory of her past after an accident. Boxing coach Jang Tae-ha (Jung Hae-in) appears at her hospital bedside, claiming to be her live-in boyfriend. With no one else to turn to, Eun-sae moves into Tae-ha's modest home and begins navigating a domestic life she doesn't remember choosing. As fragments of her former self resurface — including a high-stakes case and a web of colleagues with their own agendas — the line between Tae-ha's deception and genuine feeling blurs.
Surrounded by meddling neighbors, suspicious coworkers, and a past that refuses to stay buried, Eun-sae must decide whether the love she's building now is real or merely a convenient fabrication. The series balances romantic comedy beats with a slow-burn mystery about what really happened the night she lost her memory.

Our Sticky Love lands on Netflix with a setup that feels instantly recognizable: an ambitious prosecutor (Ahn Ha-young) loses her memory and winds up cohabiting with a boxing coach (Jung Hae-in) who insists they're a couple. The amnesia rom-com is a staple of Korean drama, and this 12-episode web series doesn't reinvent the wheel. What it does instead is lean into the chemistry between its leads and a supporting ensemble that understands the assignment.
Direction and Tone
Creators Kim Jang-han and Mo Ji-hye (who also writes) opt for a lighter touch than the premise's melodramatic potential might suggest. The first half leans heavily into sitcom beats — mistaken identities, awkward domestic mishaps, and the requisite nosy neighbors played by veterans like Seo Jeong-yeon and Jang Hye-jin. The pacing is brisk, with each episode clocking in around 35-40 minutes, but the tonal shifts toward genuine emotional stakes in the back half feel slightly unearned. The series wants to be both a fluffy romance and a meditation on identity and trust, and it doesn't always stick the landing.
Performances Carry the Weight
Jung Hae-in continues his run of quietly charismatic leading men; Tae-ha's gruff exterior and hidden tenderness are familiar territory for the actor, but he sells the boxing coach's protective instincts without veering into possessiveness. Ahn Ha-young has the trickier role — Eun-sae's amnesia could easily render her passive, but she layers in flashes of the prosecutor's sharpness beneath the confusion. Heo Sung-tae and Jeon Bae-soo provide reliable comic relief as the men orbiting Eun-sae's past, though their subplots occasionally feel like filler. The female supporting cast (Cha Chung-hwa, Kim Mi-hwa) gets the sharper material, particularly in scenes dissecting the absurdity of the central deception.
Who Should Watch
If you're here for the "fake relationship turns real" trope executed with polish and a game cast, Our Sticky Love delivers exactly that. Viewers allergic to amnesia plots or the ethical ickiness of a partner lying about your shared history may want to skip. The U/A 16+ rating suggests mild thematic content but nothing graphic. At 12 episodes, it's a low-commitment binge that respects your time — even if it doesn't linger long after the credits roll.
Pros
- Jung Hae-in and Ahn Ha-young share effortless, lived-in chemistry
- Supporting cast (especially Seo Jeong-yeon, Cha Chung-hwa) elevates familiar archetypes
- Brisk 12-episode runtime avoids the bloat common in longer K-dramas
- Boxing gym setting adds visual texture and thematic weight to the 'fighting for memory' metaphor
- Tonal confidence in the comedic first half
Cons
- Amnesia premise requires significant suspension of disbelief regarding ethical boundaries
- Second-half tonal shift into melodrama feels abrupt and underdeveloped
- Male supporting characters' subplots (Heo Sung-tae, Jeon Bae-soo) feel disconnected from the core romance
- Mystery elements resolve with convenient coincidences rather than earned payoffs
- Doesn't meaningfully subvert or deepen the fake-relationship trope
Verdict
A pleasant, well-acted rom-com that plays its familiar cards with enough charm to justify a weekend binge, even if its deeper ambitions remain just out of reach. Worth watching for the lead chemistry and supporting ensemble; don't expect a genre reinvention.
