Born in 1983, actress Jung Yu-mi is set to showcase a new side of her acting prowess in the upcoming Netflix series 'Love Affair'. Her youthful appearance continues to captivate audiences.

'Love Affair' is a Netflix series that tells the story of two people who share an unforgettable night in a foreign land, leading to a dramatic upheaval in the lives of four individuals. Directed by Mo Wan-il, known for 'The World of the Married', the series features a star-studded cast including Jung Yu-mi, Lee Dong-wook, Jeon So-ni, and Lee Jong-won, garnering attention even before its release.

Jung Yu-mi plays Sun-hee, the wife of Ji-hoon (played by Lee Dong-wook), a character who confronts the shocking truth of a complex relationship. Known for her stable acting skills in works like 'Love on a Tightrope', 'Discovery of Love', and 'I Need Romance 2012', Jung Yu-mi has earned the nickname 'Yum Lovely' for her ability to amplify the charming aspects of her characters. She has also demonstrated a wide range of acting in films like 'Kim Ji-young, Born 1982' and dramas such as 'Live' and 'The School Nurse Files', earning public acclaim for her realistic portrayals.

In particular, her performance in the film 'Sleep', where she vividly depicted the tenderness of newlyweds and the escalating madness as her husband's eccentricities intensified, heightened the tension of the film. This role earned her the Best Actress award at the 44th Blue Dragon Film Awards, solidifying her position at the top. As she continues to make her mark on both television and film, anticipation is high for her performance in 'Love Affair'.

'Love Affair' will be available exclusively on Netflix.
