Plot

The Lover is an omnibus series that depicts four different couples living together in one apartment complex.

Room 609: Both in their thirties, Oh Do-si is a voice actor and Ryu Doo-ri is a blogger. They simply chose to live together instead of getting married, and have been sharing an apartment for two years.

Room 610: Jung Young-joon and Choi Ji-nyeo are a couple that's twelve years apart in age. Ji-nyeo has the personality of a penny-pinching ajumma and basically supports her younger boyfriend in the hope that he will someday realize his dream, while Young-joon is an unemployed musician who carries around a guitar he doesn't know how to play. They've been dating for two years, living together for a year, and are quick to fight and make up.

Room 510: Park Hwan-jong and Ha Seol-eun are in their twenties and have just moved in together. Seol-eun wants her boyfriend to believe that she's the perfect embodiment of femininity, and works tirelessly to keep up the illusion.

Room 709: Lee Joon-jae is a loner who prefers to stay at home, but is forced to find a roommate for financial reasons. He doesn't even want to exchange unnecessary small talk so he advertises for a foreigner who can't speak Korean very well. Enter Takuya, a Japanese guy on his travels. Takuya thinks Joon-jae is wasting his youth, and begins to draw him out into the world. Feeling involved.

Cast
gollark: You connect a thing with a bad thing somehow, and people think it's bad.
gollark: It processes horribly fuzzily.
gollark: I was mostly talking about political campaigning, however. We would of course have to disguise their faces and voices.
gollark: Just force them to be written more along the lines of "please help these people afford food", instead of playing on human things with... what is it, sad music, pictures of specific people, sort of thing.
gollark: No, not exactly.
