Love For Love’s Sake is becoming a sensation among K-drama and BL fans.
This fantasy romance drama centers around Tae Myung Ha (Lee Tae Bin), a 29-year-old who finds himself transported into a game based on his schoolmate’s novel. Now residing in the game as a 19-year-old, his mission is to make his favorite character, Cha Yeo Woon (Cha Joo Wan), happy. Adapted from the web novel of the same name, the drama offers a refreshing take on the “coming to life in a virtual world” trope by incorporating fantastical elements.

Since its premiere on January 24th, the drama has been gaining popularity on many streaming platforms. Notably, it’s receiving positive responses not only in Korea but also globally from streamers like IQIYI and Gagaoolala.
Another reason for the show’s popularity is the impressive acting of the leads: Lee Tae Bin, Cha Joo Wan, Oh Min Seo, and Cha Woong Ki. Lee Tae Bin flawlessly portrays Tae Myung Ha, showcasing both his jaded 29-year-old self in reality and his bright, optimistic 19-year-old persona who’s determined to help Cha Yeo Woon.
Cha Joo Wan delivers a detailed portrayal of Cha Yeo Woon, a character who chooses to be alone due to his challenging reality. Oh Min Seo plays the role of Cheon Sang Won, a wealthy yet arrogant chaebol who falls for Tae Myung Ha, adding dramatic tension. Lastly, Cha Woong Ki brings energy to the drama as Ahn Kyung Hoon, Tae Myung Ha’s helper.

in this moment, where they reconnect, the frame ratio changes from 2.35:1 to 16:9
if you notice, every real life scenes was in 16:9, in-game scenes in 2.35:1 (cinematic ratio). this is a sign that they are in a same world now.
