Rakuten Viki has announced the production of “Dive Into You,” a fantasy romantic comedy that has officially secured rising stars Kim Ji Yeon and Park Seo-ham as its main leads.
Expected to stream exclusively on Viki later this year, the series spans major international territories, including the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Oceania, India, and Southeast Asia.
The narrative follows Yoon Ha-na, played by Kim Ji-yeon, a top-tier celebrity actress who suffers a near-fatal accident. Instead of meeting her demise, she is thrown back in time, waking up to find that she has completely swapped bodies with her twin brother. Armed with a desperate desire to rewrite her destiny, Ha-na uses her new reality to try and save her childhood friend, devoted bodyguard, and ultimate first love, Jung Woo-jae, played by Park Seo-ham.
Lead actress Kim Ji-yeon has been steadily cementing her status as a versatile leading lady. Beyond her roots as a member of the K-pop girl group WJSN, she recently captured viewers’ hearts in the SBS historical fantasy series “The Haunted Palace,” and earned widespread acclaim for her previous role in “Twenty-Five Twenty-One.”
Starring opposite her is Park Seo-ham, who has experienced a massive career surge since his breakout role in the iconic BL web series “Semantic Error.” He has built a remarkably diverse filmography, recently capturing audiences in the historical epic “The Murky Stream,” followed immediately by the coming-of-age romance drama “Our Universe.”
In “Dive Into You,” his tall stature and commanding presence will perfectly suit the role of the intensely loyal bodyguard, Jung Woo-jae.
The project marks a unique cross-border alliance, brought to life by U.S.-based streaming platform Viki alongside Korean production powerhouse Dexter Pictures and Amuse Entertainment — the Korean subsidiary of Japan’s massive entertainment conglomerate, Amuse. Notably, “Dive Into You” serves as the very first original IP drama developed by Dexter Pictures, with Viki acting as both a core producer and investor.
