Our Sticky Love (2026) and Couple or Trouble (2006) share a remarkably similar central premise. Both stories begin with a woman who loses her memory after an accident and wakes up with no recollection of her identity or past. In each drama, a man steps into her life claiming to have a close relationship with her, setting the stage for a romance built on hidden truths and mistaken identity.
In Our Sticky Love, Go Eun-sae is an ambitious prosecutor who loses her memory while investigating a criminal organization. When she wakes up in a rural clinic, she meets Jang Tae-ha, a former boxing champion turned boxing coach, who tells her that he is her boyfriend. With nowhere else to turn, Eun-sae moves in with him in a countryside village famous for its traditional taffy (“yeot”), where their awkward cohabitation gradually develops into romance.
This setup closely resembles Couple or Trouble, where Anna Jo also loses her memory and ends up living with a man who takes advantage of her condition. In both dramas, the leads are forced to live together despite their differences, creating a mix of comedic misunderstandings, emotional moments, and growing affection. The amnesia, fake relationship, and enemies-to-lovers dynamic are major elements shared by both series.
However, Our Sticky Love adds several unique twists that distinguish it from its predecessor. Tae-ha is not simply an ordinary man—he is trying to leave behind a criminal past after once joining a gang, and his reunion with Eun-sae is deeply personal because she was his first love before the accident. Rather than inventing a relationship from nothing, he builds his lie around a real emotional connection while attempting to protect her from the dangerous people pursuing them. This introduces an underworld mystery alongside the romantic comedy.
The overall tone also differs. While Couple or Trouble is primarily a romantic comedy focused on the changing relationship between its leads, Our Sticky Love blends its lighthearted romance with suspense and crime. Netflix describes it as combining “fish-out-of-water” comedy, nostalgic romance, and noir-style suspense, making it both a feel-good romance and a mystery surrounding Eun-sae’s forgotten past and the gang that threatens both protagonists.

LOL i have no idea how similar they rlly are but from the trailer I got reminded of Are you the One....
- In both dramas the FL suffers amnesia and the ML pretends to be her significant other after the amnesia event.
- "love built on deception" kinda same-ish scenario in both, where this fake relationship based off the ML's lie eventually turns real, and its kinda see if they work out
and thats all ha...
