The Netflix series "Soulmate," starring Isomura Yuto and 2PM's Taecyeon, will be exclusively distributed worldwide starting May 14 (Thursday). This time, additional cast members and new scene photos have been released. Ryu and Johan, two lonely young men who meet as if drawn together, 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' that can only be met once in a lifetime unfolds. While encouraging each other and sometimes clashing intensely, they wish to 'live together,' but the threads of fate cruelly entangle them... Ryu is played by Isomura Yuto, who effortlessly moves between mainstream entertainment and works with strong authorship, marking his first lead role in a Netflix production. The other protagonist, Johan, is played by Taecyeon, a member of 2PM and an actor active both domestically and internationally. He embodies Johan, who has built a perfect physique as a boxer and has survived in a harsh environment, contrasting with Ryu. Over a long filming period of four and a half months, the two traveled the world together, developing mutual respect and connecting their hearts. Both have shone in their respective fields, overcoming the challenging filming days with smiles, and their presence continues to be captured on camera, transcending borders. Although their fields of activity differ, the 'Isotegyeong' that resonates together will surely be loved by people around the world. The story features many captivating characters deeply involved in Ryu (Isomura Yuto) and Johan (Taecyeon)'s lives. Recently, additional cast members have been announced to add further depth to their story. Shinozaki Sumiko, Ryu's childhood friend who travels alone to Germany to fulfill her dream of becoming a fashion designer, is played by the uniquely talented Hashimoto Ai. Oikawa Arata, Ryu's teammate in the ice hockey club and close friend, is portrayed by Mizukami Koji, who has garnered attention for his strong and sincere acting. Aizawa Seiichi, another teammate with a straightforward personality, is played by the multi-talented actor and musician Furudate Yutaro. Additionally, the kind-hearted younger sister Hwang Sua, who has no parents and is Johan's only family, is played by Lee Jae, who is active as an actor and model in Korea. Ryu's senior at the nursing facility, Kakutani Madoka, is played by Kato Chihiro, and the ice hockey club's coach, Hayakawa Kenichi, is portrayed by Yasuda Ken. Furthermore, Ryu's warm and watchful parents, Narutaki Nanami and Narutaki Tadashi, are played by the talented Nan Kaho and Miura Tomokazu, adding significant depth to the story. New scene photos have also been released, capturing Ryu and Johan sitting at a dining table facing each other. Although it depicts an ordinary meal scene, for the two drawn together by their loneliness, such a simple time is an invaluable part of their daily lives. The 'dining table' scene appears repeatedly as a symbolic moment reflecting their modest daily life. Ryu smiles and speaks to Johan, who quietly receives his words. This image conveys the calm and warm time flowing between them. The warm atmosphere they create hints at the birth of a new chemistry between 'Isotegyeong.' Those who are meant to meet will surely meet someday. This story of love and souls woven together amidst entangled fates inspires belief in such miracles. Anticipation grows for the direction of the story spun by their souls. ■ Work Information Netflix series "Soulmate" Premieres May 14, 2026 (Thursday) Exclusively distributed worldwide Cast: Isomura Yuto, Ok Taecyeon, Hashimoto Ai, Mizukami Koji, Furudate Yutaro, Lee Jae, Kato Chihiro, Yasuda Ken, Nan Kaho, Miura Tomokazu Screenplay and Director: Hashizume Shunki Production Company: ROBOT Planning and Production: Netflix ■ Related Links "Soulmate" Work Page
