## Synopsis

So I Married an Anti-Fan (2021) is a South Korean romantic comedy series created by Kim Eun-jeong for Viki and NAVER TV. Top star Who Joon (Choi Tae-joon) and Lee Geun-young (Sooyoung Choi), the reporter who has long been his most vocal anti-fan, end up sharing a home, and the engine of the show is the friction between their public images and private lives. Each of the sixteen hour-long episodes runs on bickering, misunderstandings, and small gestures of care as the pair navigates the pressures of the entertainment industry and the gap between his wealth and her modest life. Supporting roles from CHANSUNG as JJ and Kim Min-gue as Go Soo-hwan add friendship and rivalry to the household, giving the romance a warm social circle. The single season is a self-contained run rather than a long saga, with a light, cheerful register, a sweet central romance, and a comforting feel-good atmosphere. Fans of Crash Landing on You and My Love from the Star will find the same blend of celebrity glamour and cozy romantic comedy here, though the show stays lighter and less ambitious than either.
