The Undateables (South Korean TV series)

The Undateables is a 2018 South Korean television series starring Namkoong Min and Hwang Jung-eum. It aired on SBS from May 23 to July 19, 2018 on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 22:00 (KST) for 32 episodes.

Synopsis
It is a romantic comedy about Kang Hoon-nam who knows everything there is to know about love and Yoo Jung-eum whose biggest dream is to be loved and get married. The two of them get off on the wrong foot, first five years ago at the airport when Hoon-nam witnesses Jung-eum pursuing her then-boyfriend at the airport, and then in the present when they share the same client Oh Doo-ri and are initially misled into thinking the other is competition (although their employers are in fact in different industries). Coincidentally, two of Hoon-nam's friends get hooked up with two of Jung-eum's friends; Yook Ryong and Coach Yang, then followed by Lee Su-ji with Choi Jun-soo. However Su-ji is longtime friends with Hoon-nam from Australia, while Jun-soo has been the best friend and mentor to Jung-eum for 30 years while also renting at her father's place for the last few years. When Su-ji returns from Australia to Korea, then Hoon-nam has to leave his home for her, and ends up living with Jung-eum and Jun-soo much to the latter's chagrin since Jun-soo harbors a secret crush on Jung-eum.. After things initially don't work out, Hoon-nam and Jung-eum coincidentally cross paths again as both try to sign up Mr. Kim as a client. Mr. Kim has been dating their mutual client Doo-ri. Hoon-nam then signs up with Jung-eum's agency as a client. Su-ji pressures Jung-eum to manipulate the match so she is paired up with Hoon-nam, as she wants to marry him although his heart is not for Su-ji despite their other compatibilities. ==Cast==
