The Netflix series "Soulmate," starring Isomura Yuto and 2PM's Taecyeon, will start exclusive global distribution on May 14 (Thursday)! Ryuu and Johan, two lonely young men who meet as if drawn together by something, will connect their souls and strive to move forward in three attractive cities: Berlin, Seoul, and Tokyo. Their beautiful and emotional ten-year journey as 'soulmates,' whom one can only meet once in a lifetime, is depicted. They wish to live together, encouraging each other and sometimes clashing fiercely, but the threads of fate cruelly entangle them. Ryuu is played by Isomura Yuto, who skillfully navigates between mainstream entertainment and works with strong authorship, making his Netflix debut as a lead. The other protagonist, Johan, is played by Ok Taecyeon, a member of the globally popular boy group 2PM, who is also active as an actor both domestically and internationally. Johan, who has built a perfect physique as a boxer, embodies the character powerfully, having survived in a harsh environment, contrasting with Ryuu. Over a long filming period of four and a half months, the two traveled the world together, developing mutual respect and understanding. Although their fields of activity differ, the 'Isotaecyeon' duo, who share resonant souls, will surely be loved by people worldwide. The threads of fate cruelly intertwine. The main trailer, which has been released, features Ryuu's (Isomura Yuto) monologue: 'Actually, I ran away.' Once a promising ice hockey player, Ryuu escapes to Berlin, where his childhood friend Sumiko (Hashimoto Ai) lives, burdened by the guilt of ruining his best friend's life. However, unable to forgive himself and spiraling into despair, he nearly loses his life in a fire at a church he accidentally visits, saved by the Korean boxer Johan (Ok Taecyeon). Their chance encounter, despite their different circumstances and languages, draws them together like pulling the threads of fate, transforming them into unique 'soulmates' who fill each other's missing souls. After a long ten years, where will these two souls arrive? The pain and joy of 'love' that one can never forget unfolds in an emotional and dramatic manner, keeping viewers captivated. The key art released simultaneously seems to hint at the fate of their souls. The theme song is decided to be 'Our Hearts ft. Aina the End' by STUTS & butaji! Producer and track maker STUTS, along with singer-songwriter butaji, wrote the new song 'Our Hearts' featuring guest vocalist Aina the End. STUTS and butaji, who have collaborated on many hit songs like 'Presence' and 'Mirage,' teamed up again for this project. The nostalgic sound by STUTS, the multilayered and quiet words by butaji, and Aina the End's pure and restrained passionate voice combine to form an emotional landscape. The line 'No matter how dark the night is, as long as you are with me' symbolizes the relationship between Ryuu and Johan. In these chaotic times, the medium ballad gently and powerfully embraces the story of their souls, drawing forth the beauty of 'living with others.' The Netflix series 'Soulmate' will be exclusively distributed worldwide on May 14 (Thursday). Please look forward to the unfolding story of their intertwined souls.
