Love As We Know It
Crime Drama | IP Game Adaptation | Procedural
8×50'
In the near future, a pharmaceutical giant unveils Equanimity—a pill designed with AI that promises to erase heartbreak, jealousy, obsession, and despair forever. As global approval looms, the company conducts one final trial: four volunteers, four “wrong” love stories, each desperate, twisted, and brutally human.
Through a series of interviews, a company psychiatrist documents their journeys—while battling his own unresolved grief. What begins as a sterile corporate experiment transforms into a haunting exploration of intimacy, loss, and the price of erasing pain. By the final episode, the psychiatrist himself becomes the fifth case study, questioning whether a world without suffering can still hold the beauty—and danger—of love.
Visually striking and emotionally raw, Equanimity fuses near-future sci-fi with psychological drama, delivering a bold, thought-provoking series with global resonance. It asks the ultimate question for our times: if you could take away heartbreak forever… would you?
