A Romance Set Around a Robotics Lab
Rather than following a typical workplace romance, Between Steps places its central relationship in an academic setting.
The story follows two graduate students whose lives have taken unexpected turns. As they work together in a robotics research lab, their professional and personal worlds gradually become intertwined.
The drama comes from director Ahn Pan Seok, known for acclaimed romance series such as Something in the Rain, One Spring Night, and The Midnight Romance in Hagwon. The screenplay is written by Min Hyo Jung.

Between Steps will premiere on October 5, 2026, on ENA, airing Mondays and Tuesdays at 10 p.m. KST. The series is planned for 12 episodes.
The drama will also be available through Disney+, with ENA and Disney+ both involved in its release.
With its autumn setting, intimate romance, and the pairing of Choo Young Woo and Kim So Hyun, Between Steps is shaping up to be one of ENA’s notable romance dramas for the fall season.
