So I Married an Anti-Fan

There is a movie with the same name, so initially, it caused confusion among the viewers. The webtoon-based story is about Lee Geun-young (played by Choi Soo-young), an entertainment industry reporter who somehow gets into a misunderstanding with Woo Joon (played by Choi Tae-joon) a popular celebrity at the club’s opening. After that Geun-young is kicked out of her job for which she blames Woo Joon. Soon their hatred for each other becomes popular in the media and people, so Woo-joon’s team comes up with a TV show named “So I Married the Anti-fan”, where Geun-young plays the role of his anti-fan and Woo-joon shows off his charisma and plays the role of a good hero. While working on the show together soon their hatred for each other develops into soft and sweet love. The story is soft and sweet unlike any other intense drama, but yet it is still addictive. Enemies to Lover dramas have their own charm, they are not very intense, dark or aggressive.
