One of the great aspects of the Netflix library is that the mega-popular streaming service offers a slew of international options with both series and feature films that can explore a wide range of stories. And a new series called “Soul Mate,” hailing from Japanese writer/director Shunki Hashizume, looks like it could be something extremely appealing, tackling the romance/boys’ love genre, with a trailer for the project making its way to us to share as it will debut next month.
The show sees a relationship over ten years that sees the story move from Berlin, Seoul, and Tokyo. Hayato Isomura and Ok Taec-yeon play the leads at the center of the series, who discover over time that they are truly soulmates.

An official synopsis for the upcoming streaming series provided by Netflix:
Against the backdrops of Berlin, Seoul, and Tokyo, Soul Mate follows two lonely young men, Ryu and Johan, who seem inexplicably drawn to each other. As their lives intersect, their souls become deeply intertwined, and they begin to look toward the future with everything they have. Over the course of 10 years, the series traces their beautiful and emotional journey as they become once-in-a-lifetime “soulmates.” As they both encourage one another and even clash fiercely at times, they start to imagine a life together, only for fate to twist their paths in painful ways.
Others among the cast include Ai Hashimoto, Koshi Mizukami, Yutaro Furutachi, Lee Jae-yi, Chihiro Kato, Ken Yasuda, Kaho Minami, and Tomokazu Miura.
“Soul Mate” will arrive exclusively on May 14, and you can watch the new trailer below.
