This is a really great series. The first 2 episodes kept me hooked, the chemistry is intense and slowly building up, and I liked this 2 episode in week thing even more.❤️

It's absolutely true! Ok Taec-yeon's upcoming series 'Soul Mate' will be released globally in 14 may 2026.

Excited for this 😘

New scripts: She has said in interviews that she is looking at new scripts, but cannot reveal names until the contract is signed.
In short: They are working together (in promotions and events), but the name of a "new series" or "film" has yet to be revealed.
It has only been told that the new project is scheduled to come this year (2026) and both of them are going to play the lead roles in it.

Recently the shooting (production) of this series has officially started.

Hmm their new series is coming out soon, it will be out by mid 2026 but before that they will probably give some updates, I wish Miu character was written a little better this time

No official date has been announced yet, but it is expected to arrive sometime around mid-year (June-August).

Don't drag out the release date any longer; release it soon! I want to see the intense chemistry between these two.🥰

Where is third party? 😂

When

I started watching this drama because of Lin Yu Shen, but I couldn't even get through 10 episodes.

The Same Old Formula in Chinese Dramas
This has been a major problem in Chinese legal and professional dramas:
Prop or Professional? They claim it's a serious legal drama, but in the end, they always resort to "melodrama" and "relationship drama."
Lack of originality: If, even in 2026, scriptwriters can't portray a strong female lead without her being entangled in past relationships, then it's truly a failure of writing.

This is unfair to the male lead.
If you look at it from the male lead's perspective, he has to wait for the female lead's previous breakup to make his move. This makes him more of a "support system" than a "hero," which often diminishes the dignity of his character.
A harsh truth: Dramas like "The Inner Eye" often pretend to be "high-brow," but they rely on these love triangles to boost their ratings because they think viewers will get bored just watching legal proceedings.🤦🤡

24 episodes? Seriously, this story could have been finished in 10 episodes. There are so many pointless scenes thrown in that you'll get tired of pressing the fast-forward button. The screenplay is so slow, it's like a turtle trying to lose a race. Such Weirdo screenwriters should be thrown out of Taiwan.Don't waste your time 💩

Talent is wasted when the story is weak, not when the characters don't match their age. Simply showing an age gap or a 'power play' doesn't make a drama good; true talent lies in elevating an ordinary story through exceptional acting."

Wann is soooo cute 🥰

Fu*k, reading the summary of this has completely blown my mind. I absolutely hate infidelity, and on top of that, Seo Kang Jun is doing a romance drama after 5 years. Ugh, why couldn't he just do a simple rom-com? I don't know how I'm going to watch this.🤯

This is only his third major role. Many believe she should have started with smaller or more challenging roles instead of jumping straight into lead roles, so she could gradually hone his craft. Getting such big projects without a solid foundation feels like nepotism, only in this case, it's "idol power."

Brother, be careful, if his crazy fans spot you, they'll point an AK47 at you😂

The drama is decent, but there's a lack of logic in many places, which points to lazy writing.

According to my analysis, its budget could be between ₹100 crore and ₹200 crore ($12M - $25M). The main reasons behind this are:
4 major reasons for the high budget:

Global Locations (International Shoots):
The series was not filmed in just one country, but in Tokyo (Japan), Seoul (South Korea), and Berlin (Germany). Filming in expensive cities in Europe and Asia with a large crew significantly increases production costs.
High-Profile Cast (Star Power):
Ok Taecyeon is a global K-Pop and K-Drama star. He is joined by Japanese star Hayato Isomura. The fees of these two alone would constitute a significant portion of the budget. According to recent Netflix data, top Korean actors now command fees in the crores of rupees per episode.

Decade-Long Storyline (Timeline):
The story covers a 10-year period. This requires significant expenditure on sets, costumes, and character looks (prosthetics/makeup) for different time periods.

Netflix's Investment Trend:
Netflix has pledged to invest approximately $2.5 billion (₹20,000+ crore) in Korean content between 2023 and 2026. For original shows like "Soul Mate," they typically spend ₹15 to ₹25 crore per episode to ensure premium quality.

Okay, so you've watched the preview up to episode 1 to 17. In the meantime, did the female lead cheat on her husband also? Or is she likely to do so later?
