On 'Love War,' singer Lee Hyo-ri promised to deliver a refreshing, sharp remark to a client.
JTBC's new variety show 'Love War' is a dating reality program where dating experts Lee Hyo-ri, Seo Jang-hoon, and Kim Hee-chul decide whether couples on the brink of breaking up will continue their relationship or part ways amidst a bloody war. In particular, the three MCs—Lee Hyo-ri, Seo Jang-hoon, and Kim Hee-chul—are expected to deliver a no-filter, reality-based advice relay on 'Love War,' drawing high anticipation.
Among them, the main teaser video and the first episode preview released on the 16th have drawn attention. The videos also reveal special diplomats including Girls' Generation's Yuri, actress Ji Ye-eun, singer Lee Jun, and Yewon, capturing viewers' attention. Yuri, frustrated that her boyfriend was two hours late for a date with her due to his workout, tells him, "Just break up and date yourself," delivering a blunt, angry remark. Lee Jun says, "My heart feels constricted," and becomes overly immersed in the story, raising expectations.
In particular, Lee Hyo-ri's performance captures attention. When a girlfriend is struggling because of her boyfriend, Lee Hyo-ri does not hesitate to deliver blunt, refreshing remarks such as "Just find another man" or "Those kinds of stories are unpleasant." Above all, Lee Hyo-ri does not stop at bitter advice; she offers full-level empathy and encouragement to young people experiencing love like a war, moving viewers emotionally.
Kim Hee-chul suddenly apologizes while listening to a story, eliciting laughter. Seeing the requesting couples, Kim Hee-chul exclaims, "She reminds me of my ex-girlfriend from back then," not only expressing shock but also saying, "I used to be like that back then; why did I do that?" and embarks on a mirror therapy. Eventually, he even stands up and bows to his ex-girlfriend to apologize.
Seo Jang-hoon's unfiltered fact-bombing also heats up the scene. He delivers sharp, cutting remarks such as, "That's not confidence; that's rudeness," and offers a realistic solution to a client considering a breakup by saying, "This person is not your entire life."
Meanwhile, stories of couples facing various conflicts—from progressive-conservative couples to rubber-shoe couples and power-abuse couples—are previewed, heightening tension. In the first episode preview, a client appears who even leaves Seo Jang-hoon, the male diplomat, with his hands and feet up, delivering a shock. The male client, a fitness trainer, received an expensive luxury bracelet as a gift from a female member.
As the client's shocking actions continue to be revealed, Seo Jang-hoon declares surrender from the very first episode. Viewers are left curious about the full details of the 'Love War' stories that even shocked Seo Jang-hoon and how the bloody war will be resolved.
The first episode of 'Love War' will air on the 23rd at 8:50 p.m.
