'Was it Love?' is the show that takes over after 'Mystic Pop-up Bar' and will be aired on the South Korean network JTBC and will also be streaming on Netflix. 

Release date

'Was it Love?' is slated to release on July 8 and will air on JTBC at 9.30 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays and will be available to stream on Netflix. 

Plot

The official synopsis of the show, according to JTBC, states: "Noh Ae-jeong (Song Ji-hyo) is a movie producer and single mom of 14 years. Her life is turned upside down when four men walk into her life at the same time. Her daughter, Noh Ha-nee (Um Chae-young) is determined to figure out which of the four men is her biological father. First up is Noh Ae Jung’s ex-boyfriend Oh Dae-o (Son Ho-jun), a bestselling novelist with the pen name Cheon Eok-man, who Ha-nee describes as being a bit off-putting. Second is A-list actor Ryu Jin (Song Jong-ho) who is seemingly perfect in every way but hides a different kind of appeal behind his movie-star persona. Next is Oh Yeon-woo (Koo Ja-sung) who is Ha-nee’s teacher and lives with Noh Ae-jeong’s family. Ae-Jeong's mother likes him the most. Last but not least, Koo Pa-do (Kim Min-jun) is a 'scary but sexy' former gangster who is an investor for Ae-jeong’s film and is the father of Ha-nee’s best friend Koo Dong-chan (Yoon Sung-woo). Looks like there’ll be some competition though because actress Joo A-rin (Kim Da-som) is described as Ae-jeong’s rival in love. Which of the four men could be Ha-nee’s father?"

Trailer

The trailer of the show sees Noh Ha-nee introduce us to her world where her mother Noh Ae-jeong is a "career woman" whose first priority is none other than her precious daughter. However, Ha-nee doesn't know who her father is and that's where Dae-o, Ryu-jin, Yeon-woo and A-rin enter. Out of these four men, Ha-nee, believes that one of them could very well be her father and the show is centered on her attempts at finding the truth about her biological father.
