Seo Kang-joon, Ahn Eun-jin, and More Bid Farewell as 'a Love Other Than Yours' Heads into Finale

The cast of KBS2’s weekend melodrama “A Love Other Than Yours” has said goodbye ahead of the series finale, with Seo Kang-joon, Ahn Eun-jin, Lee Joo-ahn and Jo A-ram sharing final messages for viewers before the last episode airs on Sunday, November 1 at 9:20 p.m. KST. The finale will air on KBS2 and stream simultaneously on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and regions, according to Korean entertainment outlet MHN Sports.

“A Love Other Than Yours” centers on Namgung Ho (Seo Kang-joon) and Lee Mi-do (Ahn Eun-jin), a couple who have been together for ten years and agree to spend one month dating other people before deciding their future. The experiment was meant to recover excitement buried under familiarity, but instead forced both to confront resentment, guilt and forgotten parts of themselves. The 14-episode series premiered on September 12 and is directed by Hwang Seung-gi and Lee Ga-ram, with a script by Yoo Su-ji.

Seo Kang-joon thanked viewers for staying with the drama and reflected on what the story meant to him. “Thank you to the viewers who watched ‘A Love Other Than Yours’ with us,” he said, adding that the project gave him a chance to think deeply about the various forms of love in life. He also thanked his fellow cast members and the staff who worked through the production with him, and promised to return in another role.

Ahn Eun-jin put her gratitude to the production team and cast first, calling the experience a meaningful and precious time. She thanked viewers who cheered on Lee Mi-do as the character wavered between feelings, and said she would work to continue showing a good side of herself in future projects.

Lee Joo-ahn, who plays Han Tae-seung, spoke about how his relationship with his character changed over the course of the drama. He said that at first he found it difficult to understand Tae-seung’s actions, but that he gradually came to understand and eventually love the character. Thanking viewers for going through that same process alongside him, he described himself as Tae-seung’s number one fan and said he was happy to have felt his colleagues’ passion up close.

Jo A-ram, who plays Park Soo-ah, thanked the director, writer, fellow actors, staff and viewers. She said she would hold on to the emotions and lessons she gained from portraying Soo-ah, a character who lives by her convictions, and promised to greet audiences again with better acting.

The story arrives at its finale with every relationship unsettled. In the most recent episodes, Ho and Mi-do each said goodbye to their “other” partners, only for the lines to blur again when Tae-seung grabbed hold of Mi-do and Soo-ah embraced Ho. The finale preview keeps that tension high: Tae-seung is shown grabbing Mi-do once more, Ho tells Soo-ah that things might have turned out differently if theirs had been an ordinary meeting, Mi-do announces that she has broken up with Tae-seung, and Ho tells Mi-do that he learned what happiness was thanks to her. The preview does not reveal the final choice itself, leaving open whether Ho and Mi-do reunite, part ways, or head toward another love.

The finale also closes a run that has struggled in the ratings despite its high-profile pairing. According to Nielsen Korea figures reported by Korean and English-language outlets, the drama premiered at 2.6 percent nationwide and peaked at 2.8 percent with its second episode, but has spent its final stretch below 2 percent. Episode 8, which aired on October 11, recorded 1.9 percent, episodes 9 through 11 each recorded 1.8 percent, and episode 12, which aired on October 25, edged up slightly to 1.9 percent. The schedule itself shifted during the run, with KBS2 pausing its weekend drama programming in late September for live coverage of the Asian Games, which pushed the second half of the season back by a week.

That ratings arc makes the finale a test of the drama’s core gamble: whether familiarity, guilt and new attraction can coexist in one relationship. The penultimate episode sharpened that question: Mi-do took back her earlier words telling Ho not to like Soo-ah, while Ho confessed he had come to like himself more thanks to Soo-ah, just before Mi-do appeared alongside Tae-seung.

For viewers following internationally, the finale airs at the same time as the domestic broadcast on Prime Video, which has carried the series outside South Korea throughout its run. KBS2 has not announced a second season, so the November 1 episode stands as the conclusion of Ho and Mi-do’s story as it has been told. Whether the ten-year couple chooses each other again, or chooses something new, will be settled tonight.
