There is a quiet moment in Pachinko that fans still cannot shake, the one where Sunja finally realizes that Isak Baek is offering her something far rarer than grand romance: steady, unconditional care. It is soft, almost understated, yet it lingers long after the episode ends. Much of that emotional weight came from the easy, deeply human chemistry between Kim Min Ha and Noh Sang Hyun, a pairing the audience is bound to want to see again.

Netflix seems to have heard these silent wishes, making them come true with the duo reuniting once more.

A brand-new Netflix romantic comedy titled Messily Ever After, which is a working title, is set to kick off production in February 2026. Pachinko favorites Kim Min Ha and Noh Sang Hyun are back together for a sparkling on-screen love story, and Squid Game alum Roh Jae Won is joining the fun as well. 

  Fresh off their heartfelt connection in the Apple TV show, Kim Min Ha and Noh Sang Hyun step into rom-com mode as longtime college lovers marking year ten, while joining Netflix's stellar K-drama roster.  According to Netflix, Su-hyun, played by Kim Min Ha, and Hyun-tae, portrayed by Noh Sang Hyun, first lock eyes across their art school campus and tumble into instant love, in the film. A full decade later, their passion burns just as bright, but so does the frustration, leading to wild antics all in the name of romance.

Messily Ever After dives deep into the rollercoaster of a committed relationship, nailing that chaotic blend of devotion, annoyance, attraction, and uncertainty that hits when you truly know your partner inside out. Helmed by up-and-coming director Seo Jung Min, the movie promises clever, snappy narratives paired with an honest peek at contemporary partnerships. Bombaram Film handles production, the same team that delivered the teen romance Love Untangled by Namkoong Sun and the powerful drama Kim Ji-young, Born 1982 by Kim Do-in.

Speaking of fresh Netflix gems, there is another Korean treat on the way that flips the superhero script.

Sure, plenty of folks dream of superhero powers, but what about those who are not quite cut out for the cape? The WONDERfools aim to answer this question. Dropping this spring, this Korean series unfolds in 1999 amid peak Y2K panic. It follows a ragtag band of everyday, clumsy folks who snag super abilities out of nowhere.

Packed with laughs and thrills, the show tracks their messy journey into heroism as they bungle through saving Haeseong City from lurking bad guys. Director Yoo In Sik, known for Extraordinary Attorney Woo, teams up again with star Park Eun Bin, who led as the unique lawyer in that hit. Here, she steps into the role of Eun Chae-ni, a regular woman yanked into chaos and gifted with powers.

With The WONDERfools and Messily Ever After, Netflix is packing various ends of the spectrum. Even more, it might just be crafting a gift for the audience who may have had their heartstrings pulled for Sunja and Isak in Pachinko, with its more time-forward tale for this time around.
