Scope of the South Korean theatrical release and Netflix premiere
The domestic viewing schedule and global streaming schedule for Possible Love are not on the same date. In South Korea, the theatrical release begins on September 23, 2026, while the global Netflix release is scheduled for November 6, 2026. Therefore, viewers in South Korea should refer to the September schedule for a theatrical viewing and the November schedule for watching on Netflix.
International theatrical dates vary by region

Australia is scheduled for October 22, 2026, while the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Japan are scheduled for October 23. These are regional theatrical dates that apply separately from the South Korean release date and the global Netflix premiere.
