A ‘Romeo and Juliet’ story with a fun new twist

Disney+ will debut Love Your Enemy, a new romantic comedy series following high school sweethearts who reconnect 18 years after a bitter breakup.

The series centers on Seok Jiwon and Yoon Jiwon, born on the same day with the same name to rival families. The two defied family tensions, falling in love one summer during high school.

Their romance ended abruptly due to a misunderstanding, leaving their memories clouded by resentment. Now, nearly two decades later, they cross paths as colleagues — Seok as the President of Dokmok High School and Yoon as the school’s P.E. teacher. Initially clashing and undermining each other, they slowly rediscover feelings that go beyond animosity.

Love Your Enemy stars Ju Jihoon (Light Shop, Blood Free) as Seok Jiwon and Jung Yumi (Discovery of Love, Train to Busan) as Yoon Jiwon. The series is penned by Lim Yejin (The Tale of Nokdu) and directed by Park Joonhwa (What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim), with production by Studio Dragon.

Disney+ has ramped up its APAC content slate, releasing over 12 Korean titles this year alone. Successful releases include Moving, Big Bet, and The Worst of Evil, with A Shop for Killers currently leading viewership in the Asia Pacific region. Anticipated upcoming releases include Unmasked, Gangnam B-Side, and Light Shop, with new dramas planned for 2025 such as Tempest, Low Life, and Nine Puzzles.

Love Your Enemy will release new episodes every Saturday and Sunday from Nov. 23 through Dec. 29 on Disney+.
