Ok Taec-yeon and Won Ji-an in "HeartBeat" (Prime Video)
“HeartBeat” stars Ok Taec-yeon, who previously starred in “Let’s Fight Ghost,” “Vincenzo” and “Blind” and features a thrilling romance between a vampire who desires to experience heart-throbbing love, and a cold-blooded woman who doesn’t have time for romance.
In the series, Seon U-hyeol (Taecyeon) sleeps in a coffin for 100 years. That goal was painstakingly cut short by only one day, as he was awakened by Joo In-hae (Won Ji-an), a cold-blooded-yet-mesmerizing woman.
Having to fend for herself at an early age, she developed defense mechanisms, making her become hard and resilient in the process. Her encounter with the mysterious man asleep in the coffin slowly loosens her inhibitions, and an unexpected relationship between Seon U-hyeol and Joo In-hae ensues. Won Ji-an has starred in “Hope or Dope,” “If You Wish Upon Me” and “D.P.”
“We’re absolutely delighted to be in partnership with one of Korea’s leading national broadcasters. The opportunity to work with creators from KBS marks a significant milestone for us, and we’re excited that a title such as ‘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.
Lee Hyun-suk, the director of “HeartBeat,” said, "It is with great pleasure to embark on this relationship with Prime Video, with its presence across the globe.”
"’HeartBeat’ explores vampires who are completely drained by humans. What would the lives of Korean vampires be like in the 21st century? This story, born from such an imagination, is expected to garner amusement, laughter, and touch the audience's hearts. Stay tuned to see how the love between Seon U-hyeol, a vampire yearning to become human, and Joo In-hae, who is cold-blooded like a vampire, unfolds within unexpected plot twists.” the director added.
