Isomura Yuto and 2PM's Taecyeon star in the leading roles of "Soulmate," which is currently streaming exclusively on Netflix. Ryu (Isomura Yuto) and Johan (Ok Taecyeon), two lonely young men who seem to be drawn together, connect deeply over ten years across three cities: Berlin, Seoul, and Tokyo. Their journey as 'soulmates' is filled with beauty and emotion as they support each other and sometimes clash, wishing to live together, but the threads of fate cruelly entangle them... Recently, behind-the-scenes footage was released, showcasing the large-scale filming across Japan, Korea, and Berlin, capturing the close bond that developed between Isomura Yuto and Taecyeon, much like the relationship of Ryu and Johan. During the shoot at a batting center in Tokyo, an unexpected incident occurred when motorcycle sounds interrupted the filming. However, the atmosphere remained cheerful throughout. The set was not only filled with a warm ambiance but also a unique intensity. In a scene featuring Ryu's ice hockey match, Isomura and co-star Mizukami displayed impressive stick skills, showcasing the sport's fierce nature. The filming in Nasu included heartwarming moments like chatting in the garden and enjoying fireworks with children. A scene where Isomura and Taecyeon, along with Toshiro Miura, who played Ryu's father, engaged in a kendama competition felt like a real family. In another scene, while comforting a baby, Taecyeon’s excitement over Johan's test results inadvertently made the baby cry. His gentle demeanor conveyed a homely atmosphere. The filming then moved overseas, where Taecyeon showcased his skills with bandages and demonstrated powerful mitt work in Korea. In Germany, he stood in the actual ring, displaying the agility of a real boxer. Additionally, behind-the-scenes footage of Ryu and Johan's emotional meeting scene in Germany provides a glimpse into how their cross-border story was crafted. The film maintains a warm atmosphere throughout, supported by Isomura's earnest approach to his role, Taecyeon's charm that brightens the set, and director Hashizume's meticulous direction and communication. The story of love and bonds created by the resonating spirits of the cast and crew is now available in the Netflix series "Soulmate," streaming exclusively worldwide.
