The film pairs Korean star Jin-young, known for “You Are the Apple of My Eye” and TV series “Police University,” with Japanese actor Otani Ryohei, a veteran of “Roaring Currents” and the TV series “We Married as a Job!” The story unfolds in Enoshima, Japan, where a middle-aged salaryman, unable to submit his resignation letter, meets a heartbroken young Korean man at a ramen shop. The two strangers make a half-joking pact to deliver each other’s unsent letters — one a love letter, the other the resignation — and find themselves gradually drawn into the emotional weight of each other’s lives. The film is targeting a Q2-Q3 2026 release. Related Stories 'Full Speed' Takes on Daytona 500 in First Look as Netflix Series Shifts to Feature-Length Film on Prime Video
