Actor Nam Goong Min is making a surprising return. This time, not with a suspense thriller or action-packed drama, but through a classic melodrama that reveals a whole new layer of his acting potential. 

Known for his ability to mold into any genre and a three-time acting award winner, Nam Goong Min is stepping out from behind his signature genres with SBS’s new Friday-Saturday drama 'Our Movie,' set to premiere on June 13.

The newly released teaser poster hints at a story unlike anything Nam Goong Min has done before. 'Our Movie' tells the love story of Lee Jae Ha, a film director who lives like there’s no tomorrow, and Lee Da Eum, an actress who lives as though today may be her last. Exploring themes of farewell, love, healing, and emotional recovery, this drama requires a different emotional palette than the thrillers and dark comedies Nam Goong Min is known for. His role as Lee Jae Ha, someone finding love at the edge of life, is a bold departure from his usual characters.

Nam Goong Min has built an impressive career through genre-spanning roles in 'Good Manager,' 'Hot Stove League,' 'The Veil,' and 'One Dollar Lawyer,' displaying unmatched versatility across satire, legal drama, medical thriller, and espionage action. Yet in these roles, romance has always been a background element, never the focus.

In contrast, 'Our Movie' is Nam Goong Min’s first full-fledged romantic drama, where love takes center stage. He stars opposite Jeon Yeo Been, an actress praised for her emotionally rich performances. Their palpable chemistry is already stirring excitement; in the teaser poster, the two gaze at each other with tearful eyes and an expression of aching tenderness, as if standing on the brink of goodbye. The image alone evokes a powerful sense of immersion.

This drama could mark a pivotal transformation in Nam Goong Min’s acting journey. Known for playing cold, rational characters navigating extreme circumstances, he now turns to warmth and emotional depth. Audiences are eager to see how he brings this new side to life.

'Our Movie' isn’t just a love story; it’s a meditation on life’s fragility and the beauty of human connection. A narrative about people for whom it’s “too late to start love, but too desperate to end it,” the drama promises to unearth a deeper emotional resonance in Namgoong Min than ever before.

An unexpected yet deeply anticipated move, Nam Goong Min now steps to the heart of a story that touches the soul.
