I Need Romance 2012 (Hangul: 로맨스가 필요해 2012; RR: Romaenseuga Pilyohae 2012) is a 2012 South Korean romantic comedy television drama, starring Jung Yu-mi, Lee Jin-wook and Kim Ji-seok. The series follows the everyday lives of work, love and friendship of thirty-something women and men in Seoul. It aired on cable channel tvN from June 20 to August 9, 2012 on Wednesdays and Thursdays at 23:00 for 16 episodes.
Following the success of tvN's I Need Romance in 2011, I Need Romance 2012 is a loose spin-off with new characters, but continues the first season's frank discussion of sex and realistic depiction of messy relationships.
Joo Yeol-mae was in a 12 year on-and-off relationship with her boyfriend Yoon Seok-hyun, before they broke up for the fifth time 3 years ago. This is mainly because Seok-hyun keeps her at arm's length and does not want to get married. However, even after they break up, Yeol-mae and Seok-hyun remain friends and are present in each other's lives. Enter Shin Ji-hoon, an alluring new love interest who shakes up Yeol-mae’s world and lands her in a love triangle. Torn between two men, can Yeol-mae find true romance, or will she lose it all?
