A romantic drama on Netflix has captured the hearts of many, leaving viewers deeply moved and making it one of the most popular films on the platform at the moment.
With Valentine’s Day nearing, there is often a quest to curate the perfect evening.
Yet, there’s something to be said for a Valentine’s Day movie that completely captivates and emotionally overwhelms you.
If you’re in for a heart-wrenching experience, this ’10/10′ drama might be just what you’re looking for.
Currently ranked among Netflix’s top-viewed films according to FlixPatrol, it holds the number three spot globally, following Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s The Rip and the true crime documentary The Investigation of Lucy Letby.
Set in South Korea, Even If This Love Disappears Tonight tells the poignant tale of two high school students whose romance resets every day due to one of them suffering from a condition where she cannot form new memories.
Han Seo-yoon, portrayed by Shin Si-ah, awakens each day without recollection of the day before, due to a type of anterograde amnesia.
Her classmate, Kim Jae-won, played by Choo Young-woo, is aware that Seo-yoon won’t remember him but chooses to pursue a relationship nonetheless.
With each passing day, Seo-yoon forgets their shared moments, requiring Jae-won to continuously rebuild their relationship.
The film holds deeper layers, best discovered by watching it unfold.
Released on Netflix on February 3, 2026, the movie is adapted from the Japanese novel Konya, Sekai Kara Kono Koi ga Kietemo by Misaki Ichijo, which was also made into a Japanese film in 2022.
