‘Messily Ever After (WT)’ Netflix K-Drama Romantic Comedy Film Starring Kim Min Ah Begins Filming in February 2026

A new Netflix rom-com, Messily Ever After (WT), goes into production in February 2026. Pachinko stars Kim Min Ha and Noh San Hyun will reunite for a brand new on-screen romance, and will be joined by Suid Game actor Roh Jae Won. Here’s everything we know so far about Messily Ever After (WT) on Netflix.

Messily Ever After (WT) (Previously reported titled with the title Starlight) is an upcoming South Korean Netflix Original romantic comedy film directed by Seo Jung Min (Let’s Eat) and produced by Spring Breeze Film Company.

What is the plot of Messily Ever After (WT)?

Netflix has released plot details for Messily Ever After (WT):

“Su-hyun (Kim Min-ha) and Hyun-tae (Noh Sang-hyun) first meet on an art school campus and fall in love at first sight. Even after a decade, they still love each other to death — and hate each other just as much — pulling all sorts of crazy stunts for the sake of love. Messily Ever After (WT) leans into the emotional whiplash of a long-term relationship, capturing the messy mix of loyalty, irritation, desire, and doubt that comes with truly knowing someone.”

Who are the cast members of Messily Ever After (WT)?

Kim Min Ha, Noh Sang Hyun, and Roh Jae Won are the lead cast members of Messily Ever After (WT).

Kim Min Ha has only starred in one Netflix drama, Typhoon Family, but she will also star in Netflix’s upcoming K-drama Dead-End Job. Outside of Netflix, she has starred in Pachinko, Light Shop, and Not Alright But It’s Alright.
