The California-based platform serves as both an investor in and producer of the copro from Korean outfit Dexter Pictures and Amuse Entertainment, the Korean subsidiary of Japanese entertainment group Amuse.

Ji Yeon, a member of girl group WJSN, plays Yoo Ha Na, who suffers a near-fatal accident and is thrown back in time within the body of her twin brother. There she sets out to save her first love, Jung Woo Jae (Seo Ham).

Rakuten Viki will stream the fantasy romcom later this year in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Oceania, India and South-East Asia.

Jaehee Hong, chief content officer at Rakuten Viki, said: “Dive Into You is a fine example of high-calibre Asian storytelling, and it has been an incredible privilege to work with Dexter Pictures and Amuse Entertainment to bring this wonderful series to the screen.”
