HEART TO HEART

Prime Video has picked up multi-territory rights to South Korean fantasy rom-com HeartBeat, produced by Korean broadcaster KBS.

Starring Ok Taec-yeon (Lets Fight Ghost, Vincenzo and Blind) and Won Ji-an, the story involves a vampire who sleeps in a coffin for nearly a century in order to experience human love, but whose quest is painfully cut short by a cold-blooded woman.

HeartBeat, which spans multiple genres, will satisfy our audiences thirst for Korean content of the highest caliber. This announcement truly reaffirms our commitment to expanding our ever-growing slate of premium Korean titles on Prime Video, said David Simonsen, director of Prime Video, Southeast Asia.

Episodes of the 16-part show will be uploaded on Mondays and Tuesdays in 240 territories from June 26.
