Uncontrollably Fond (Hangul: 함부로 애틋하게; RR: Hamburo Aeteuthage) is a South Korean television series starring Kim Woo-bin and Bae Suzy. It aired every Wednesdays and Thursdays on KBS2 at 21:55 from July 6 to September 8, 2016.
While the audience ratings for the drama fell below expectations locally, it was well-received across Asia. In China, it streamed on Youku simultaneously with South Korea's broadcast and has reached more than 4 billion cumulative views, making it the site's number one most viewed Korean drama.
Shin Joon-young (Kim Woo-bin) and No-eul (Bae Suzy) were a couple who were separated during their teenage years due to an ill-fated relationship, but later meet each other in adulthood. Shin Joon-young is now a top actor-singer while No-eul is a documentary producer.
No-eul had a tough childhood; her father died in a hit-and-run prompting No-eul to quit school and make a living for her and her brother. Shin Joon-young, on the other hand, had his life planned out for him. His mother wanted him to become a prosecutor; to follow the footsteps of his estranged father, but an awful incident caused him to quit law school and become a singer-actor. The two reunite when No-eul is tasked to film Shin Joon-young's documentary. Joon-young initially gives No-eul a miserable time before finally agreeing to do the documentary and even plans to win her heart back.
The original soundtrack of Uncontrollably Fond was divided into two volumes: Volume 1 consists of songs from Parts 1 to 8 and Midnight Youth's Golden Love from Part 14 (also known as the pop OST), while Volume 2 consists of songs from Parts 9 to 15 and tracks by New Empire from Part 14.
