A young lawyer has a low opinion of men and prefers to have one-stand nights than relationships. She detests losing to guys as well. Despite being revered for his attractiveness and romantic hero status, a famous actor is wary of women. Neither of them likes the other when their paths intersect. But when sparks start to fly, they start to fall in love.
In the modern era, K-dramas have adapted romance in all of its forms. Their most popular ruse is to pair up an odd couple who interact, work through their differences and tensions, and eventually find love. This 'opposites attract' scenario is repeated in 'Love To Hate You,' and it feels a little exaggerated. However, as the show's conclusion draws near, the couple's decisions and actions make the course of their romance more compelling.
Yeo Mi-ran (Kim Ok-vin) portrays a young lawyer in a mask who throws a few punches and kicks to prevent a man from being robbed on the street. In the viral footage of this assault, her BFF Shin Na-eun (Go Won-hee) recognises the attacker as her man-hating friend right away. Mi-ran labels each man she dates or has an affair with because she distrusts men, despises losing to them, and categorises her one-night affairs. None of them are particularly attractive.
On the other side is heartthrob and top actor Nam Kang-ho (Yoo Teo), who has to deal with his obnoxious co-stars and the responsibilities of his eagerly anticipated projects every day. In the presence of his "soulmate," Won-jun (Kim Ji-hun), a former actor who also serves as his manager, best friend, and coach, he admits that he dislikes women and harbours sexist thoughts. His best friend must prioritise maintaining a great profession and maintaining a strong enough public persona to conceal his true affections for women.
When Mi-ran must physically protect a client—something she enjoys doing—she encounters Kang-ho at an odd time. When a difficult female co-star overhears his tirade, she instantly adds him to her list of unwanted men. Mi-ran joins the entertainment law company that represents Kang-ho after finding herself in a situation where she has hunt for a new employment.
While the most successful romantic comedies include couples meeting in the most unlikely of circumstances, much of the setup in this series comes off as contrived. Mir-ran is a refreshing figure without the constraints of a moral code since she picks her men and switches them out impulsively. In keeping with K-dramas' tradition, Kang-ho makes a good-looking, intriguing leading guy. Together, their interactions are highlights of this series, which is also filled with likeable characters and numerous romantically-themed lovely situations.
While the girl protagonist is endearing, the male lead is a little unclear because it is never made clear whether his misogyny is only on the surface or if it has deeper, more complicated roots. However, the character of his friend, manager, and best friend makes his situation rather funny, and Won-jun gives a strong performance. Fans of romantic comedies and K-dramas would benefit most from this series, which has ten episodes. Having said that, this series is easily enjoyable due to its modern setting and the dynamic character of Mi-ran.
