I’ve seen this pop up in different places under different titles, so I usually check both 'Always' and 'Only You' along with the Korean title 'Ojik Geudaeman' when I’m hunting for release info. The film’s first public release was in South Korea on November 24, 2011. From there, international visibility built gradually: festival appearances, limited theatrical showings in nearby Asian markets, and staggered home-video and streaming availability throughout 2012 and into 2013.
From a viewer’s perspective that means there isn’t a single “international release date” to point at — it depends on the territory. If you live in Europe or North America, chances are you saw it later through a festival screening or when a distributor licensed the film for DVD/streaming. If you want the exact date for a specific country, I’d check local box office listings or a site that tracks release editions, but for a global timeline think late 2011 (Korea) then 2012–2013 internationally.
I got hooked on this because of the soundtrack and ended up digging into release dates like a nerdy detective. If you mean the Korean film known domestically as 'Ojik Geudaeman' and marketed internationally as 'Always' (sometimes seen as 'Only You'), its original theatrical release in South Korea was on November 24, 2011. That’s the date the movie first hit Korean cinemas and started picking up attention from international festival programmers and distributors.
The rollout outside Korea wasn’t a single global release day — it trickled out. Film festival screenings and limited theatrical runs started appearing in late 2011 and through 2012, and by 2012–2013 the movie became more widely available via DVDs and online platforms in various countries. So if someone asks “when was it released internationally?” the most precise short version is: Korea first on 24 Nov 2011, with international screenings and distribution following over the next year or two depending on the country. I actually watched a subtitled screening at a small festival months later and it felt like discovering a little secret, which is part of the charm for me.
If you’re asking when the Korean title that's often translated as 'Always' or 'Only You' first reached audiences outside Korea, the baseline to remember is November 24, 2011 — that’s when it opened in South Korea. International exposure came after that, mainly via film festivals and then staggered theatrical and home-video releases across 2012 and into 2013. I learned this the hard way when I tried to find a subtitled copy: some countries got it in cinemas months later, others only when distributors released DVDs or digital versions.
So there isn’t a single worldwide release date beyond the Korean premiere; the international rollout was gradual, which is typical for many Korean films of that era. If you tell me your country, I can try to narrow down the local release window for you.

Okay, if you’re talking about the Korean title 'Always Only You', it’s a short web drama made to be binged—there are 8 episodes in total. Each episode runs roughly 20–30 minutes, so it feels breezy compared to the 16–episode primetime dramas; it’s the kind of show I’ll watch on a lazy afternoon when I want sweet, compact romantic beats and a neat wrap-up.
I’ve seen different platforms sometimes list slightly different runtimes or combine episodes into longer cuts for international streaming, so if you’re watching on a service like Viki, Viu, or a Korean portal like KakaoTV or Naver, the episode numbering can sometimes look shifted. Also check for a special or behind-the-scenes episode—occasionally those are released separately and can make the total count feel higher if you include extras.
If you want, tell me where you’re planning to watch it and I’ll walk you through the episode guide or where to find subs—happy to help pick which episode to start with if you want a slow-burn or instant-spark vibe.
I’ve been poking around OST credits for a bunch of dramas lately, and with 'Always Only You' I couldn’t find a single, clear composer listed in one short search — which is actually pretty common for smaller projects or web series. What I’d do first is check the official soundtrack release (if there is one): the digital single or OST album usually lists composer, lyricist, and arranger. Streaming services like Spotify or Apple Music sometimes include credits, and Korean platforms like Melon or Genie are even more reliable for detailed metadata.
If you’re short on time, jump to the drama’s YouTube channel or the official broadcaster page and watch the end credits of an episode; composers are almost always listed there. I’ve had luck before finding the composer in the YouTube description or linked OST posts on social media. If none of that works, searching KOMCA (the Korean Music Copyright Association) with the song title will often surface the composer and writer, though you might need the Korean title to get a hit.
