'Love Someone Else Than You' saw Seo Kang-jun and Ahn Eun-jin break up after a decade-long relationship.

'Love Someone Else Than You,' a KBS 2TV Saturday-Sunday mini-series (script by Yoo Soo-ji, directed by Hwang Seung-gi and Lee Ga-ram), aired its first episode on the night of the 12th, depicting Mi-do (played by Ahn Eun-jin) declaring a breakup to Nam-gung-ho (played by Seo Kang-jun), her partner of ten years.

'Let's stop,' Mi-do told Nam-gung-ho that day. 'I think it's best we end things here.'

'I was wrong earlier,' Nam-gung-ho pleaded. 'I shouldn't have said those things to you. I seem to have thought only of my own feelings. I'm sorry.'

'Since when did I become your driving force and compass?' Mi-do retorted, mulling over Nam-gung-ho's words. He had wanted to say, 'I still get butterflies thinking about Mi-do. How can this be? Honestly, even I find it strange,' but that wasn't the truth. They had been together for ten years with Mi-do. If he still felt that way, it would be more bizarre. Mi-do was his sense of responsibility, his driving force, and the compass guiding his life. She was the motivation that kept him going whenever he wanted to quit his job. She was the compass preventing him from straying from life's right path. 'If I can just endure this for about 30 more years, it'll be over,' he had thought. 'I want to grow old quickly.'

'You make me feel so heavy,' Mi-do said. 'It's overwhelming. So let's stop now.' Nam-gung-ho explained, 'That's not it. You know what I mean by that.'

'Do you still get nervous when you look at me?' Mi-do asked. 'When you see me, do you still breathe heavily as if you've sprinted? Is that still the case now? No, is it?'

'So what are you trying to say?' Nam-gung-ho replied. 'You want to break up because things aren't like they used to be? Fine, you're right. We're not the same as before. But that doesn't mean the time we've spent together is gone, or that we don't love each other anymore. Every couple goes through this. How can passion last forever? I'll try harder.'

'Mi-do, I think I've neglected you lately. I'll work twice as hard, three times as hard,' he pleaded.

'But then it would feel even heavier,' Mi-do countered. 'And I'd become even more diminished. Your love—no, your sense of responsibility, obligation, and guilt—it makes me feel small. That's why I'm starting to dislike myself. Do you know that? I watch your every move constantly. Watching someone's mood and showing consideration seem similar, don't they? But when I show consideration, I feel like a better person. Yet the more I watch your mood, the smaller I feel. If I become any smaller from here on out, it'll truly be over. So let's break up.'

'You think you're making me feel small?' Nam-gung-ho asked. 'Do you really want to break up with me?' Mi-do answered firmly, 'Yes.' Even as he repeatedly asked, 'Is that really what you want? I'll ask one last time. Answer carefully. Do you really want to break up with me?' she declared, 'Yes, let's break up.'

'Alright then,' Nam-gung-ho said, turning away. 'Let's do it. Let's break up.' Especially since Nam-gung-ho had been preparing a proposal for Mi-do, the breakup added to the tragedy.

'And so, our ten-year relationship came to an end. We shared nine first snows and loved each other wildly. Before the tenth first snow fell, we parted,' Mi-do's narration followed.

'Love Someone Else Than You' is a melodrama about Nam-gung-ho and Mi-do, a couple of ten years who were once familiar with each other but now face unfamiliar emotions. It airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m.
