## Synopsis

Love to Hate You (2023) is a South Korean romantic comedy series created by Kim Jeong-kwon and Choi Soo-young and released on Netflix. Attorney Yeo Mi-ran (Kim Ok-vin), who cannot stand losing to men, and A-list actor Nam Kang-ho (Teo Yoo), who distrusts women, are pushed together when circumstances force them to date each other. Their rivalry is fueled by pride, professional competition, and the messy entanglements of their circles, including Do Won-jun (Kim Ji-hoon) and Shin Na-eun (Go Won-hee). Each episode is built from sparring exchanges, awkward public appearances, and small reversals that chip away at both leads' defenses. The engine is simple: two people who want to win every argument must admit what they feel. The ten-episode run is a single continuing storyline with a steady stream of banter. Set in contemporary Seoul among law firms, entertainment agencies, and glossy social events, the show runs on a breezy, witty, and warm register with a touch of romantic longing. Fans of Suits, Crash Landing on You, and My Love from the Star will find resonance in its opposites attract chemistry, polished urban settings, and playful rivalry that gradually softens into tenderness.
