Representatives of the entertainment industry, Choi Soo-jong and Ha Hee-ra, are set to make a drastic transformation into a problematic couple as they draw attention in the new genre of drama therapy, a mirror therapy drama, with the tvN’s new entertainment show 'We Are Not Lovebirds,' which will premiere tonight, June 30, at 10:10 p.m.
'We Are Not Lovebirds' is a program that provides meticulous solutions to couples' problems by having Choi Soo-jong and Ha Hee-ra, who have become 'heart friends' for the troubled couples, act realistically from the perspectives of husbands and wives, reenacting the stories of actual married couples restructured in a drama format. The first episode, featuring the theme 'An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth: The problematic couple' has received explosive reactions after the preview showcasing Choi Soo-jong and Ha Hee-ra’s shocking acting transformation was released.
In the first episode, the Suras revealed an episode that surprised even their families with intense acting practice for the 'lovebird couple,’ acting as a problematic couple caught up in an infidelity lawsuit. Their performances, perfectly transformed in appearance with high synchronization, captured attention. Choi Soo-jong, known as a romantic, also acted words he has never used before in 'We Are Not Lovebirds', and in response to his statement that he even wore a wig for high synchronization, 'heart friend' Hwang Je-seong asked, 'Then, if someone with no hair shows up...' to which Choi responded, 'That should be Je-seong.' This friendly banter marked the start of the first episode with a cheerful atmosphere.
Afterward, a couple on the brink enters the 'Lovebird House' and watches the drama in which the Suras acted out their own stories, demonstrating a synchronization that amazed everyone, with remarks like, 'Even the standing poses are identical,' creating not only accurate speech and expressions but also appearances. Meanwhile, the panelists and troubled couple watch the reenacted drama together, with the husband’s infidelity causing pain for the wife and the wife’s verbal abuse and departure troubling the husband, leading to a tense standoff.
After falling in love at a rapid pace, the couple rushed to marriage just 59 days after meeting, but the 'influencer' wife and the introverted, silent husband cannot bridge their personality differences. Frustrated by what he perceives as dismissive behavior from his wife, the husband ends up committing infidelity, and after discovering this, the wife responds with her own affair, driving their relationship to calamity and shocking the panelists. The astonishing story of this couple, far beyond imagination, will be revealed through the broadcast.
As the troubled couple shares their story involving debts, alcohol issues, and habitual infidelity that led to a divorce lawsuit while expressing their suffering, the expertise of 25-year divorce attorney Yang So-young and psychiatrist Kim Ji-yong, who will provide solutions, is also drawing attention. There is keen interest in the effects of the shocking method of mirror therapy drama therapy, which allows couples to reflect on their relationship from a third-party perspective. Additionally, the changes of the troubled couple, who show potential for relationship recovery through drama therapy by understanding each other’s positions, gather interest, while the Suras, who have sent heartfelt letters to the troubled couple, stirred emotions that eventually brought tears to the studio, creating a sea of tears and raising curiosity.
Choi Soo-jong and Ha Hee-ra’s passionate performances in the mirror therapy drama, 'We Are Not Lovebirds,' will premiere today, June 30, on tvN.
