What Will Happen When Siwon Choi's Match Is Determined Based On DNA? Check Out The Answer In This Show
JAKARTA - Who would have thought, true love can be found through genetics? The Korean drama DNA Lover brings together Siwon Choi and Jung In Sun in a romance-packed story peppered with sci-fi elements.
With a fresh and unexpected storyline, this drama will make you wonder, can DNA really determine your soul mate? Check out the review summarized by VOI from Viu's official broadcast.
Han So Jin (played by Jung In Sun) is a genius researcher who believes that an ideal life partner can be found through DNA. Meanwhile, Sim Yeon Woo (Choi Siwon) is a gynecologist who was accidentally dragged into his research. Han So Jin is an interesting character because he has intelligence, ambition, and strong beliefs in the research he developed. He believes that genetics holds the key to finding a perfect life partner.
In a study, So Jin developed a serum called Super Teal and accidentally sprayed his experimental serum at Yeon Woo. The serum was originally only intended for research related to hair growth, but it sparked a series of meetings that changed the lives of the two of them. The incidence of spraying Super Teol serum on Yeon Woo's face became a funny and unexpected starting point for their relationship.
So Jin's highly scientific personality often makes him trapped in the belief that DNA is the determinant of everything, even love. After some time with Yeon Woo, So Jin found that their DNA did not match, which sparked a big conflict in this story. Even though their feelings deepened, So Jin decided to end his relationship with Yeon Woo, then started a new relationship with another man whose DNA was thought to fit him more. The man in question is Kang Hoon, So Jin's old friend.

When So Jin began a relationship with Kang Hoon who was considered more genetically suitable, Yeon Woo was heartbroken but did not give up. He continued to try to regain So Jin's love, although he had to face the harsh reality that their DNA did not match. With every conflict that arises, the bond of the two main characters is increasingly being tested, creating deep emotional tensions in this drama.
Siwon Choi's performance as Sim Yeon Woo deserves thumbs up. In this drama, she shows a more mature side as a professional gynecologist. Yeon Woo developed from a man who was initially skeptical of scientific research about DNA into someone who begins to believe that there may be something bigger in this life that science can determine. His emotional journey from doubt to trying to understand love through scientific lenses provides a depth of character that is rarely found in Korean dramas.
In DNA Lover dramas, interesting questions arise, namely whether true love can be measured or even predicted through science? Research developed by Han So Jin in this drama challenges conventional ideas about love that are often considered abstract and emotional. This drama also highlights how genetics might be able to map biological fits between two people, but is it enough to guarantee a happy relationship? We are invited to reflect on the boundaries between human deep feelings and concrete scientific evidence. Although DNA could be a guide, this drama shows that feelings and choices of each person play an important role in determining a true mate.
Through this conflict between heart and science, DNA Lover displays a wider message, namely love not only about genetic fitness, but also about how feelings and everyday interactions can form a sweet relationship. Thus, the balance between logic and feelings is the key in this complex story.
