## Synopsis

Love Scout (2025) is a South Korean romance comedy-drama series created by 함준호 and 지은 for SBS, running for twelve episodes of roughly seventy minutes. Yoo Eun-ho, a single father whose composure is almost armor, takes a job as personal secretary to Kang Ji-yun, a driven CEO of a popular headhunting firm who does little outside work. Han Ji-min plays Kang Ji-yoon and Lee Jun-hyuk plays Yoo Eun-ho, and their scenes carry the show's engine: two guarded people forced into daily proximity, sparring over schedules, ambitions and the cost of looking composed. Supporting principals include Kim Do-hoon as Woo Jeong-hoon, Park Bo-kyung as Kim Hye-jin and Gi So-you as Yoo Byeol, whose lives feed the office politics and the personal stakes. Each episode is built from the rhythms of a corporate recruiting business, with deals, rivalries and candidate searches that keep the romance grounded. Set in present-day Seoul, the series is a polished, warm, sometimes wistful Korean drama that balances light comedy with sincere emotion. Fans of Business Proposal and Suits will find resonance in its blend of office rivalry and a slow-building romance between two professionals.
