Our Universe is one of the standout Korean dramas of early 2026, drawing attention for its warm, character-driven story and easy global availability. The series blends coming-of-age themes with romance and family drama, making it an accessible watch for international audiences as well as domestic viewers in South Korea.
About the series
Our Universe, known in Korean as 우주를 줄게, is a romantic comedy-drama airing on tvN. The story follows two young adults who become in-laws under tragic circumstances and are forced to raise their late siblings’ orphaned nephew together. Through everyday struggles, grief, and shared responsibility, the pair gradually find healing, understanding and unexpected romance.
The drama stars Bae In-hyuk and Roh Jeong-eui, whose chemistry and grounded performances have been widely praised in early reactions.
Where to watch in South Korea
In South Korea, Our Universe airs on tvN with new episodes broadcasting every Wednesday and Thursday at 22:40 KST. Korean viewers can also stream the episodes online via TVING shortly after the television broadcast.
Where to watch internationally
For viewers outside South Korea, the drama is officially available on several global platforms:
Rakuten Viki
Viki is the primary international streaming home for Our Universe. Episodes are released shortly after the Korean broadcast and include subtitles in multiple languages, including English.
HBO Max (select Asian regions)
In some parts of Asia, the series is also available on HBO Max with subtitles, following the same weekly release pattern.
Release schedule and episode count
The first episode of Our Universe premiered on February 4, 2026. The series follows a weekly release format rather than a full-season binge drop, with two episodes per week aligning closely with the tvN broadcast schedule. The drama is expected to run for approximately 12 episodes, unfolding its story across several weeks.
What international viewers should know
Episodes typically appear on global platforms within hours of the Korean airing, depending on region and time zone. Subtitles on Viki are usually available at or very soon after release. Because the show follows a weekly format, viewers should expect a steady rollout rather than all episodes becoming available at once.
