Actor Kim Hyun Jin, who is currently being seen as a sculpture maker and heartthrob in Crushology 101, will be seen in a similar role of an artist in his next, the 8-episode Love Phobia. He is set to portray Han Sun Ho, a highly successful author whose books are always in high demand, selling out quickly after release. With his captivating appearance and widespread popularity, his novels often attract a significant pre-order audience. Despite his perfect looks and success, Han Sun Ho conceals profound emotional scars.


When he encounters a life-changing challenge, he meets Yoon Bi Ah (played by Yeonwoo) and becomes involved in a project titled It's You, which marks a significant turning point in his life. Yoon Bi Ah is a CEO who also suffers unspoken mental agony like Han Sun Ho due to a painful past that makes it difficult for her to spend more than an hour in the presence of others. Following years of seclusion, she collaborates with her one trusted friend, Jae Hee, to create a generative AI dating app and gets involved with Han Sun Ho during the process.
