Long before the Netflix documentary series 'My Love: Six Stories of True Love' came to be, a South Korean film simply titled 'My Love, Don't Cross That River' captured the hearts of nearly 4.8 million viewers upon its release in the winter of 2014.

For years, I found myself wondering what it was about that story that resonated so deeply with so many people.

The answer, perhaps, lies in something universal.

Most of us seek a companion to share our lives with. When that bond endures through the years, we come to know it as happiness. When it fades or falls apart, we are left with a sense of loss. For many, the measure of a life well-lived is inseparable from the measure of love sustained. It is no surprise, then, that love remains the central theme of so much of what we create, consume, and carry with us.

In bringing 'My Love: Six Stories of True Love' to life, something remarkable emerged across all six couples — each of whom had spent decades together. What they shared was not perfection, but rather a gentle humor and a deep compassion for one another.

Laughter, it turns out, is not a small thing.

It becomes a bridge. A way of speaking honestly without walls. And warmth — truly seeing and understanding your partner — becomes the quiet foundation upon which a lifetime of happiness is built. These couples showed us that authentic connection, day after day, is what makes a love story last.

Yet before we seek that perfect partner, we must look inward.

Ask yourself honestly: "Am I ready? Am I truly committed to giving love, not just receiving it?"

Growth begins with the self. We cannot ask of another what we have not yet cultivated within ourselves. Love, after all, is not a gift given in one direction — it is something exchanged, nurtured, and returned between two people who choose each other, again and again.

Partnering with Netflix on this series felt like a natural and meaningful step.

The message I had hoped to share through 'My Love, Don't Cross That River' could finally reach audiences across the world. Together with gifted filmmakers from six different countries, we crafted six distinct and deeply human love stories — each rooted in its own culture and landscape, yet connected by something timeless.

From the quiet shores of Korea to the vibrant streets of a Rio favela, from the suburbs of Tokyo to the open farmlands of India, Spain, and the United States — elderly couples, some together for over four decades, open their lives and share the secrets behind their enduring love.

This series is, at its heart, a tribute to the lives people build together.

May it serve as both an inspiration and a gentle guide for all who watch it.

I love you all.

'My Love: Six Stories of True Love' premiered on April 13, 2021, exclusively on Netflix, with Executive Producer Moyoung Jin and directors Elaine McMillion Sheldon, Chico Pereira, Hikaru Toda, Moyoung Jin, Carolina Sá, and Deepti Kakkar & Fahad Mustafa each bringing their own episode to life.
