Wavve Original 'LOVE.exe' Premieres with Dynamic Campus Life and Unexpected Romance

The highly anticipated Wavve original series 'LOVE.exe' has made its debut, featuring singer and actor Kim Yo-han and Hwang Bo-reum-byeol.

Directed by Yoon Seong-ho and Han In-mi, with a script by Song Hyun-joo and Kim Hong-ki from the creative group 'Songpyeon', and produced by Storymob, Studio CR, and Binge Works, the series was first released on the 13th. The show captivates viewers with the dynamic first meeting between a million-follower influencer model, Kang Min-hak (played by Kim Yo-han), and a single engineering student, Joo Yeon-san (played by Hwang Bo-reum-byeol), along with the vibrant campus life of various youths.

In episodes 1 to 4, the series portrays the unusual encounter between Kang Min-hak and Joo Yeon-san, who become entangled due to the merger of the Computer Engineering and Modeling departments at Hangang University. The merger, driven by financial difficulties, led to the creation of the 'Convergence Physical Technology Global Content Development Department'. Students protested against the absurd merger, and the university took steps to quell public opinion.

For top engineering student Joo Yeon-san, who lives in a world of perfect algorithms, the merger was less important than the results of his scholarship application. Contrary to his confident expectations, the results were disappointing. Engrossed in algorithm analysis as usual, he missed the scholarship application deadline due to not checking related communications in time.

The arrival of Kang Min-hak, a model with a million followers, captured everyone's attention on campus. However, to Joo Yeon-san, who was focused on securing a scholarship, Kang Min-hak was just a 'celebrity' who made a semester's tuition with a single post. Joo Yeon-san thought he would never get involved with someone so different, but his expectations were once again proven wrong. Due to an unexpected incident, he was mistaken for a fan by Kang Min-hak, causing him to miss another scholarship opportunity, and his newly purchased laptop was accidentally broken by Kang Min-hak. Kang Min-hak's sudden appearances disrupted Joo Yeon-san's perfect algorithm, leaving him flustered.

The unintended reunions with Kang Min-hak continued. Kang Min-hak appeared with a new laptop, asking to join the team preparing for a convergence technology app development competition with a large prize. The competition required teams to consist of students from two or more departments. Yang Na-rae (played by Kwon Young-eun) and Kang Dong-won (played by Min-seo) tried to persuade Joo Yeon-san, but he coldly rejected Kang Min-hak, who lacked even basic coding knowledge and attracted too much attention.

On this day, a significant change was detected within Joo Yeon-san. Whenever he looked at Kang Min-hak, the world seemed to slow down, his face turned red, and Kang Min-hak even appeared in his dreams. Trying to logically understand his confusing emotions, Joo Yeon-san acknowledged the 'romantic error' within him, saying, "The error is me. Let's acknowledge and correct the error." This raised curiosity about how their relationship would evolve.

'LOVE.exe' delivered delightful humor and excitement from its first release, with the chaotic first meeting between Kang Min-hak and Joo Yeon-san. Kim Yo-han captivated viewers with his portrayal of Kang Min-hak, who, despite his handsome appearance, is a 'scatterbrain'. Hwang Bo-reum-byeol completed the detailed emotions of Joo Yeon-san, a nerdy engineering student. The performances of new actors like Kwon Young-eun, Min-seo, Lim Seong-kyun, Kang Shin, and Lee Jun-hyuk, who vividly portrayed unique students, earned the series the reputation of a 'character haven'. Heo Jeong-do, Woo Ji-hyun, and Lee Ji-hye also strengthened the plot, enhancing immersion. Special and cameo appearances by Bang Min-ah, Kim Sung-ryung, Ahn Jae-hong, and Lee Hak-joo added to the viewing pleasure.

Meanwhile, Wavve original 'LOVE.exe' releases four episodes every Thursday at 11 AM, available for four weeks.
