Discovery of Love (Hangul: 연애의 발견; RR: Yeonaeui Balgyeon) is a 2014 South Korean television series starring Jung Yu-mi, Eric Mun, and Sung Joon. It aired on KBS2 from August 18 to October 7, 2014, on Mondays and Tuesdays at 21:55 for 16 episodes.
Han Yeo-reum (Jung Yu-mi) is a furniture designer who owns a workshop space that she shares with other designers. For the past year, she's been dating Nam Ha-jin (Sung Joon), a plastic surgeon with a sweet and gentle personality. But Yeo-reum's peaceful existence is shaken when her ex-boyfriend Kang Tae-ha (Eric Mun) suddenly reappears in her life. The CEO of an interior design company, Tae-ha is a smart, confident man with a strong competitive edge who always gets what he wants. Meanwhile, Ha-jin comes across Ahn Ah-rim (Yoon Jin-yi), whom he recognizes as the girl he treated like a sister when they were both children living in an orphanage. As she begins working with Tae-ha, Yeo-reum is forced to re-evaluate her romantic history, which sets her off on a search for true love.
This was the second acting collaboration of Jung Yu-mi and Eric Mun, seven years after Que Sera, Sera in 2007. Jung and Sung Joon had also previously worked with screenwriter Jung Hyun-jung on I Need Romance 2012 (2012) and I Need Romance 3 (2014), respectively.
It was also Mun's first television series three years since Spy Myung-wol (2011), about which he explained, "There was the period when I was at the army and also the period I promoted with Shinhwa. It wasn't that I was purposely not appearing in any dramas, but Shinhwa promotions were important. I also think I didn't discover a project that I really wanted to do."
