Netflix has officially confirmed production for its upcoming romantic comedy series This Shitty Love, and fans are buzzing with excitement as beloved actor Jung Hae-in takes on the male lead role. Known for his emotional depth and romantic charm, Jung will star as Jang Tae-ha, a boxing coach with a complicated past and an unexpected shot at love.
A New Twist on Romantic Comedy
This Shitty Love tells the offbeat story of prosecutor Ko Eun-sae (played by Ha-young), who suffers from amnesia, and Jang Tae-ha (Jung Hae-in), a brusque but warm-hearted man who boldly claims to be her boyfriend. Their sticky cohabitation leads to comedic chaos and heartfelt moments as they navigate a web of lies, memory loss, and fated love.
Jang Tae-ha is no ordinary romantic lead. Once a promising boxer, he veered into the underworld as a gangster. Now seeking redemption as a boxing gym coach, he meets Ko Eun-sae during his final mission for the organization—only to discover she’s his long-lost first love who remembers nothing about him. Caught between his past and present, Jang chooses to lie to her in a desperate bid to rewrite their fate.

Jung Hae-in: From Romantic Drama to Rom-Com Royalty
