The romantic film Even If This Love Disappears from the World Tonight (also known as OSEISA) is officially heading to Netflix, set for a simultaneous worldwide release following its theatrical run, according to industry sources.
Netflix Secures Global Streaming Rights
After gaining strong momentum at the box office, Netflix has finalized a sales agreement with the film’s investor-distributor By4M Studio and is currently preparing the title for streaming. Once released, the film will be available globally with subtitles in 31 languages and dubbing in eight languages, significantly expanding its international reach.
While the exact Netflix release date has not yet been announced, insiders suggest the streaming debut will follow shortly after the conclusion of its theatrical screenings, given the film’s steady performance.
A Breakout Screen Debut for Choo Young-woo
The Netflix deal is expected to further elevate rising actor Choo Young-woo, who makes his feature film debut with OSEISA. Paired with actress Shin Si-a, Choo has drawn attention for his emotional depth and screen presence, particularly among younger audiences.
Following notable roles in recent dramas, Choo Young-woo has quickly earned the reputation of a “super rookie,” and the film’s global Netflix release is expected to further boost his international profile.
A Story Adapted From a Bestselling Novel
Even If This Love Disappears from the World Tonight is based on the bestselling novel by Ichijo Misaki, which has sold over 1.3 million copies worldwide. The film tells the story of Seo-yoon, who loses her memories each day, and Jae-won, who carefully fills in those memories for her—portraying a tender youth romance about remembering, protecting, and loving despite inevitable loss.
Box Office Momentum Continues
Released on December 24, the film has received overwhelming support from viewers in their teens and twenties. It has already surpassed its break-even point of 720,000 admissions, drawing close to 800,000 moviegoers as of January 13.
Industry analysts predict that the film is poised to exceed the performance of comparable romance titles from recent years and may even reach the one-million admissions milestone before its Netflix debut—an impressive feat for a melodrama genre release.
A Global Turning Point for the Cast
With its Netflix launch, OSEISA is expected to resonate with audiences far beyond Korea, introducing international viewers to its emotionally driven narrative and its two young leads. As the film prepares to cross from theaters to streaming, attention is now focused on whether it can convert domestic box office success into global popularity.
For Choo Young-woo and Shin Si-a, the upcoming worldwide Netflix release could mark a defining moment—transforming a local box office hit into a global romance phenomenon.
