What Is ‘Soulmates’ on Netflix? Here’s All You Need to Know About the Project

Published 11/07/2025, 9:11 PM EST

There are few things more dangerous than opening Netflix without a plan. You go in seeking escapism, come out questioning your sanity. The platform greets you with a million glossy thumbnails and identical titles, each promising emotional chaos in HD. Somewhere in that glittering confusion lives Soulmates, a word that sounds simple, but on Netflix, simplicity is a myth.

While love stories once ended in handwritten letters, Netflix’s version now comes with algorithms, subtitles, and the existential panic of picking the wrong soulmate.

If you are typing Soulmates into Netflix and feeling your brain glitch, you are part of the collective. The confusion is justified. There are, in fact, two projects dancing under the same name. The first, Soulmate (2023), a South Korean drama where friendship and time bruise each other tenderly. The second, Soulmates (2020), is an American sci-fi anthology where love meets laboratory precision. Two worlds, same name, pure Netflix mischief.

Both versions orbit around destiny, yet one feels like poetry and the other like a pop quiz. The Korean Soulmate explores what happens when devotion matures and memories age faster than people. Meanwhile, the AMC-produced Soulmates tilts into Black Mirror territory, asking if technology can define what the heart already knows. Either way, Netflix proves it is both your soulmate and your saboteur.

As Soulmates blurs the boundary between fate and Wi-Fi, the real plot twist unfolds when viewers realize the chaos is not in love, it is in Netflix’s library.

These slip-ups have become Netflix canon, and My Sister’s Husband fits right into the chaos. Duplicate titles, remakes, and reboots now form the modern pantheon of viewer disorientation. You think you are about to witness a scandalous love triangle, only to find yourself in an entirely different country’s domestic drama. It is streaming déjà vu, like recognizing a face that suddenly speaks another cinematic language. The irony? You keep watching, completely hypnotized by the confusion.

Netflix’s global sprawl makes these coincidences inevitable and sometimes, unintentionally genius. Each country reimagines the same word with its own cultural heartbeat, turning confusion into an art form. It is both strategy and slip-up, brilliance and bedlam. Whether it is a Korean tale of time-torn friendship or an American experiment in destiny, one truth remains: Netflix may baffle endlessly, yet it never bores.
