Netflix’s official announcement listed theatrical release dates not only in South Korea but also in Australia and the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Japan. Because overseas schedules vary by country, the dates directly relevant to viewers in South Korea are the domestic theatrical release on September 23 and the Netflix premiere on November 6.
Basic Work Information
The main cast includes Jeon Do-yeon, Sol Kyung-gu, Jo In-sung, and Jo Yeo-jeong. Jeon Do-yeon is introduced as Mi-ok, Sol Kyung-gu as Ho-seok, Jo In-sung as Sang-woo, and Jo Yeo-jeong as Ye-ji. The runtime is 164 minutes.
‘Possible Love’ was selected for the competition section of the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. The official Venice Film Festival page lists Pinehouse Film, Anonymous Content, and NOWFILM as the production companies. Netflix has introduced the film as South Korea’s official submission for the International Feature Film category at the 99th Academy Awards in 2026. This indicates that it was submitted and does not mean that it won an award or became a finalist.
When to Prepare
If you are prioritizing a theatrical viewing, the first step is to check screening information around September 23. If you are waiting for the Netflix premiere, use November 6 as the date to confirm whether it is available to watch. Since the two dates are 44 days apart, it is easy to decide in advance whether to watch it in theaters or stream it at home first.
The film has a runtime of 164 minutes, so the screening length itself should be included when planning a theater visit. However, individual showtimes and theater operating information are separate from the official schedule provided here.
Reservations · Applications
The materials currently confirmed provide the release and premiere dates but do not list every theater, showtime, or ticket-booking schedule. Accordingly, anyone planning to see the film in theaters should check the official booking pages for each theater as September 23 approaches.
Those planning to watch it on Netflix should check the official ‘Possible Love’ title page and its availability status on the service on November 6. Theater ticket booking and Netflix availability are separate processes, so confirming one schedule does not automatically confirm the other.
Possibility of Changes
The theatrical and streaming schedules may change. The dates announced through official channels such as Netflix and the film festival are the dates currently confirmed, but the theaters showing the film and the time when tickets become available may differ. Before viewing, it is safest to check Netflix’s official announcement and title page together with each theater’s official booking information.
The key schedule for ‘Possible Love’ is a domestic theatrical release on September 23 and a global Netflix premiere on November 6. There are 44 days between the theatrical and streaming releases, and the director, cast, runtime, and selection for the Venice competition section have all been officially confirmed. Choose how you want to watch it according to the schedule, and check theater and ticketing information again when availability is announced.
