It is director Lee Chang-dong’s first short film. This marks the worldwide streaming release of the film shown at festivals in 2022.\n\nThe release schedule is based on Netflix’s announcement dated October 30, 2026.\n\n## Release schedule and basic film information\n\nThe release platform is Netflix, and the announcement does not specify an exact release time. Festival records list the film’s year as 2022. The runtime follows the San Sebastián International Film Festival’s record from that year. (Verified runtime: 28 minutes, 2022 festival record · Source: sansebastianfestival.com · Checked on 2026-11-01)\n\n| Item | Confirmed information |\n| --- | --- |\n| Title | Heartbeat |\n| English title | Heartbeat |\n| Director | Lee Chang-dong |\n| Film year | 2022 |\n| Runtime | 28 minutes, based on the 2022 festival record |\n| Premiere | 23rd Jeonju International Film Festival |\n| Netflix release date | Monday, November 2, 2026 |\n| Release scope | Worldwide |\n| Release time | Not specified in the official announcement |\n| Original language | Korean |\n\nThe schedule is confirmed in the [Netflix release announcement](https://about.netflix.com/ko/news/heartbeat-arrives-netflix-november-2). The runtime and original language are listed in the [San Sebastián International Film Festival’s film record](https://www.sansebastianfestival.com/2022/sections_and_films/zabaltegi_tabakalera/7/703441/in).\n\n## The difference between the 2022 premiere and the 2026 release\n\nThe 2026 date marks the start of the existing short film’s availability on Netflix. The Jeonju International Film Festival presented the film as a world premiere in 2022. The retrospective at the time was titled ‘Lee Chang-dong: The Truth of the Invisible’.\n\n| Category | Date | Meaning |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Festival premiere | 23rd Jeonju International Film Festival in 2022 | The screening that first introduced the film |\n| Streaming release | November 2, 2026 | The scheduled worldwide release on Netflix |\n\nChanging the film’s year to 2026 would therefore obscure its premiere history. Film information should list 2022, with the streaming availability date noted separately. The festival history can be checked in the [Jeonju International Film Festival’s retrospective announcement](https://2026archive.jeonjufest.kr/community/news/view.asp?idx=7223\u0026reUrl=%2Fcommunity%2Fnews%2Flist.asp%3FsType%3D%26sText%3D%26Page%3D24).\n\n## Heartbeat cast and roles\n\nKim Gun-woo plays the lead character, Cheol, and Jeon Do-yeon plays his mother. Sul Kyung-gu provides the voice of his father. Below are the main roles announced by Netflix.\n\n| Actor | Role | Type of participation |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kim Gun-woo | Cheol | Plays the boy at the center of the story |\n| Jeon Do-yeon | Cheol’s mother | Plays the mother |\n| Sul Kyung-gu | Cheol’s father | Voice role |\n\nThe types of participation follow the [role descriptions in Netflix’s announcement](https://about.netflix.com/ko/news/heartbeat-arrives-netflix-november-2).\n\n## Plot summary without the ending\n\nThe story centers on eight-year-old Cheol, who worries about his mother. His mother has depression. Worried about her being home alone, Cheol runs home during class.\n\nThis summary is based on the [San Sebastián International Film Festival’s official synopsis](https://www.sansebastianfestival.com/2022/sections_and_films/zabaltegi_tabakalera/7/703441/in). The child’s anxiety sets the events in motion. The major scenes that follow and the ending are not covered here.\n\n## What to watch for\n\nOne point to watch is how the camera follows Cheol’s face. Netflix explains that the film follows the boy’s face from beginning to end. With this in mind, viewers can focus on the changes in his expressions.\n\n- The character’s perspective: Notice what the child sees and reacts to as he worries about his mother.\n- The performance: Consider both the dialogue explaining the situation and the emotions shown on his face.\n- The production’s starting point: According to Netflix’s announcement, WHO and BCAF proposed making the film on the subject of depression.\n\nThese viewing suggestions are based on [Netflix’s introduction to the film](https://about.netflix.com/ko/news/heartbeat-arrives-netflix-november-2). They are not an assessment based on having watched it. A short runtime need not be taken to mean light subject matter.\n\n## How to watch and a comparison of viewing options\n\nNetflix is the viewing option announced for Korea this time. Past festival screening records do not indicate screenings that can currently be booked. The confirmed schedule and items requiring separate checks are as follows.\n\n| Viewing option | Confirmed schedule | Items to check separately |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Netflix | Worldwide release on November 2, 2026 | Title listing, playback availability, subscription fees |\n| Festival screenings | Premiere history from 2022 | New screening announcements and booking dates |\n\nCheck the film’s page on Netflix to see whether it is available to watch on release day. For pricing, refer to Netflix’s membership information for your region. This [release announcement](https://about.netflix.com/ko/news/heartbeat-arrives-netflix-november-2) does not include pricing or an end date for availability.\n\n## The difference between subtitle support and dubbing\n\nThe language support confirmed in this announcement is subtitles. The listed languages are English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, French, and German. The announcement does not list dubbing languages.\n\n| Category | Meaning | What this announcement confirms |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Subtitles | Displaying dialogue and other content as text | Subtitle support in the languages listed above |\n| Dubbing | Providing dialogue as audio in another language | Supported languages are not specified |\n| Accessibility features | Features such as captions for deaf viewers or audio description | Specific availability is not stated |\n\n[Netflix’s information on multilingual support](https://about.netflix.com/ko/news/heartbeat-arrives-netflix-november-2) describes subtitles. Subtitle support alone does not establish that dubbing is available in the same languages. The actual options can be checked on the playback screen after release.\n\n## Frequently asked questions\n\n### Is this a newly made film?\n\nIt is an existing short film shown at festivals in 2022. The November 2026 date refers to its Netflix release.\n\n### How long is the film?\n\nThe San Sebastián International Film Festival’s 2022 record lists it as 28 minutes. The same record lists Korean as the original language.\n\n### Does Sul Kyung-gu also appear?\n\nHe provides the voice of Cheol’s father. His type of participation should be distinguished when reading the general cast list.\n\n### Can I watch it from midnight on release day?\n\nThe official announcement alone does not establish a midnight release. It gives the date but does not specify an exact time.\n\n### Is it available on other streaming services?\n\nNetflix is the service confirmed by this announcement. Availability on other platforms should be checked in each service’s official title catalog.\n\n### Until when can I watch it?\n\nNetflix’s announcement does not give an end date for availability.
