A finalized divorce settlement is one thing; forgetting it entirely is another, and that gap is where director Nam Dae-joong builds Love Reset, a 2023 South Korean romantic comedy about a couple who lose their memories right after ending their marriage on paper.
What is Love Reset about?
A married couple who have already agreed to a divorce settlement are involved in an accident that leaves them both with amnesia. Waking up with no memory of the marriage, the fights, or the paperwork already filed, the two start to fall for each other all over again, as if meeting for the first time. Their families, aware of exactly how the relationship ended and why, scramble to restore their memories so the divorce can actually be finalized before the couple reconnects on false pretenses. The setup turns a familiar rom-com engine — strangers who are secretly not strangers — into something with real stakes attached, since everyone around the pair already knows how the story is supposed to end.
About the cast
Kang Ha-neul and Jeong So-min lead as the amnesiac couple, with Im Chul-hyung, Hwang Se-in, Lee Sang-jin, Kim Sun-young, Yoon Kyung-ho, and Eom Ji-yoon filling out the surrounding cast of family members and go-betweens who each have their own stake in how the situation resolves.
Context & significance
Love Reset sits squarely in the comedy-romance space that Korean cinema has long done well, using a high-concept premise as a vehicle for chemistry between its two leads rather than as a gimmick on its own. At 119 minutes, it has room to build out the family and social pressures surrounding the central couple, giving the comedy a grounded backdrop rather than treating amnesia as a pure plot device. The film's setup — a divorce undone by circumstance rather than reconciliation — gives it a slightly different shape than a standard will-they-won't-they.
