Anticipation is heating up around Namgoong Min’s latest transformation—this time as a reclusive film director making an unexpected comeback.
SBS’s brand-new Friday-Saturday drama Our Movie premieres at 9:50 PM on June 13. The story centers on a fleeting romance between Lee Je-ha (Namgoong Min), a director who lives as if there’s no tomorrow, and Lee Da-eum (Jeon Yeo Been), an actress who treats every day as if it were her last.
Lee Je-ha made waves with a dazzling debut film, only to vanish from the spotlight for five years. As the son of a legendary filmmaker, he carries both the weight of expectation and the shadow of comparison. With his inherited talent and promising first work that rivaled even his father’s legacy, the public had high hopes—but time moved on, and so did the industry.
Now, out of the blue, Lee Je-ha resurfaces—this time to direct a remake of his father’s iconic film, White Love. His sudden return and choice to revive a family masterpiece is raising eyebrows. What drove him out of hiding? What emotional scars is he still carrying? The drama promises to delve into those questions with a richly layered plot blending cinematic artistry and deep family ties.
Recently released stills give a glimpse into Lee Je-ha’s introspective world—each frame reflecting his deep passion for filmmaking and the emotional weight he carries. His quiet focus and soulful expressions hint at a man rediscovering his voice through his art.
Our Movie offers a refreshing twist by crafting a story within a story—blurring the lines between fiction and filmmaking. Namgoong Min himself shared, “What drew me in was the meta concept—creating a film within the drama, where the movie isn’t just a background element, but a mirror of Lee Je-ha’s emotions and life. That aspect felt incredibly powerful to me.”
Catch Namgoong Min as he straddles the worlds of cinema and self-discovery in Our Movie, airing its first episode on Friday, June 13, at 9:50 PM on SBS. International fans can watch it on Disney+.
