## Synopsis

Discovery of Love (2014) is a South Korean romantic comedy series broadcast on KBS2 in a single season of sixteen one-hour episodes. Furniture designer Han Yeo-reum (Jung Yu-mi) has spent three years in a gentle relationship with plastic surgeon Nam Ha-jin (Sung Joon), a steady partner who offers calm and comfort. Her quiet routine at a shared design workshop is shaken when her ex-boyfriend Kang Tae-ha (Eric Mun) reappears. Now the confident, competitive CEO of an interior design company, Tae-ha pulls her into his firm, where daily work and old feelings collide. Meanwhile, Ha-jin's childhood friend Ahn Ah-rim (Yoon Jin-yi) has long nursed a secret crush on him, adding a rival's quiet ache to the mix. Each episode is built from office scenes, workshop life, and awkward encounters that push Yeo-reum to reexamine her romantic history. The tone is light, witty and warm, with a gentle wistfulness about past love and a hopeful pull toward something truer. Its structure is a single continuous story rather than standalone episodes. Set in contemporary Seoul, it sits in the tradition of Korean romantic comedies and will appeal to fans of Crash Landing on You, My Love from the Star, and Something in the Rain.
