Love in Disguise premieres on Monday, October 19, and most fans outside Korea are asking the same three things. Which app carries it in my country, what time does a new episode land where I live, and how long will the whole run take? The Korean promo clips point to TVING, which is a Korea-only service, so the answer is not obvious from the trailer alone.
This guide answers the love in disguise kdrama where to watch question using only official sources: the tvN program page and Amazon’s own Prime Video listings. You will get the platform by region, the premiere time converted for the US, UK, Europe and Asia, and a week-by-week episode plan you can put straight into your calendar.
Outside Korea and mainland China, Love in Disguise streams on Prime Video from October 19, 2026. In Korea it airs on tvN every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 PM KST, two episodes a week, for 12 episodes in total.
Where Love in Disguise streams outside Korea
The Amazon MGM Studios press page for Love in Disguise Season 1 lists a launch date of October 19, 2026. It gives the country availability as “Worldwide (Excluding Mainland China & South Korea)”. Prime Video is the single global home for this drama, so a Prime membership is the only subscription you need in the US, the UK, Europe, Latin America and most of Asia-Pacific.
The show already has its own title page on Prime Video, rated 16+ with advisories for violence, alcohol use and foul language. That page showed “This video is currently unavailable” when we checked on October 16, which is normal before launch day. Netflix, Rakuten Viki and Disney+ have made no announcement for this title, and the worldwide Prime Video deal leaves little room for them.
Love in Disguise release date and time by region
The official tvN program page for Love in Disguise lists the first broadcast as Monday, October 19 at 8:50 PM, with the slot set to Monday and Tuesday at 20:50 KST. The table below converts that Korean broadcast time for overseas viewers. Amazon has not published the hour when each episode goes live on Prime Video, so treat the tvN broadcast time as the earliest possible moment rather than a guaranteed upload time.
| Region | Platform | Local time for the 8:50 PM KST broadcast | Clock change to note |
|---|---|---|---|
| South Korea | tvN broadcast, TVING (per Korean press) | Mon and Tue, 8:50 PM KST | None |
| US East Coast | Prime Video | Mon and Tue, 7:50 AM EDT | 6:50 AM EST from November 2 |
| US West Coast | Prime Video | Mon and Tue, 4:50 AM PDT | 3:50 AM PST from November 2 |
| United Kingdom | Prime Video | Mon and Tue, 12:50 PM BST | 11:50 AM GMT from October 26 |
| Central Europe | Prime Video | Mon and Tue, 1:50 PM CEST | 12:50 PM CET from October 26 |
| Brazil (Brasilia) | Prime Video | Mon and Tue, 8:50 AM | None |
| India | Prime Video | Mon and Tue, 5:20 PM IST | None |
| Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia | Prime Video | Mon and Tue, 7:50 PM | None |
| Japan | Prime Video | Mon and Tue, 8:50 PM JST | None |
| Australia (Sydney) | Prime Video | Mon and Tue, 10:50 PM AEDT | None |
| Mainland China | Not announced | Not announced | Excluded from the Prime Video deal |
Two clock changes fall inside the run. The UK and the EU end summer time on Sunday, October 25, and the US ends daylight saving time on Sunday, November 1. Every episode after those dates arrives one hour earlier on your local clock, while the Korean broadcast time itself never moves.
How many episodes and when the finale lands
Korean coverage of the October 14 online press conference reports that Love in Disguise has 12 episodes. With two episodes every Monday and Tuesday, the season runs for six weeks. The plan below assumes tvN keeps the slot without breaks, which tvN has not confirmed for the full run, so the November 24 finale date is a projection and not an official announcement.
| Week | Korean air dates (2026) | Episodes | Running total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Mon Oct 19, Tue Oct 20 | 1 and 2 | 2 |
| Week 2 | Mon Oct 26, Tue Oct 27 | 3 and 4 | 4 |
| Week 3 | Mon Nov 2, Tue Nov 3 | 5 and 6 | 6 |
| Week 4 | Mon Nov 9, Tue Nov 10 | 7 and 8 | 8 |
| Week 5 | Mon Nov 16, Tue Nov 17 | 9 and 10 | 10 |
| Week 6 | Mon Nov 23, Tue Nov 24 | 11 and 12 | 12 |
Korean broadcasters often skip a night for live sports or year-end events, and a skipped night pushes every later date back. Check the tvN program page or the Prime Video episode list each week if you plan a watch party around a specific episode.
What Prime Video costs if you only want this show
Prime Video comes bundled with an Amazon Prime membership. Amazon’s own Prime membership cost page puts the US price at $14.99 a month or $139 a year. The standard Prime Video benefit includes ads, and Amazon sells an ad-free upgrade called Prime Video Ultra for $4.99 a month, available in the US only.
The projected run lasts 37 days, from October 19 to November 24, which is longer than one monthly billing cycle. Waiting until the finale airs lets one month cover all 12 episodes if you are happy to binge instead of watching weekly. Prices outside the US differ by country, so check the Prime Video sign-up page in your own region.
Story, cast and the web novel behind it
Amazon’s synopsis describes Kang Jae-hee as a former special forces officer turned police detective. She is assigned to protect and investigate Yoon Yi-jun, the cold-blooded heir of a powerful conglomerate who is a suspect in a murder case. To stay close to him she disguises herself as a man and joins his security team. The tvN page adds that the conglomerate is Taekang Group, ranked first in Korea, and that Yi-jun is its 32-year-old executive director and likely successor.
The Korea Herald reported on October 15 that Im Si-wan plays the heir and Seorina plays the undercover detective. The series adapts the web novel Why Don’t You Know It’s a Girl? (Korean title 여자인 걸 왜 모르지?), which Amazon says has passed 8.15 million views. The Korean title of the drama is 나의 유죄인간, which helps if you search Korean fan communities or news sites.
| Name in Prime Video credits | Role | Other spelling you may see |
|---|---|---|
| Yim Si-wan | Yoon Yi-jun, Taekang Group heir and murder suspect | Im Si-wan, Yim Siwan |
| Seorina | Kang Jae-hee, detective undercover as a male secretary | Seol In-ah |
| Kim Jung-hyun | Taekang Group lawyer and Yi-jun’s closest friend | English character name not yet published |
| Yeonwoo | A Taekang Group professional linked to the lawyer’s storyline | English character name not yet published |
| Park Dhan-hee (director) | Directing | Park Dan-hee |
Amazon lists CJ ENM Studios and Pitapat Studio as the production companies. Korean press coverage credits the screenplay to writer Moon Soo-jung, although Amazon’s English credits do not name a writer yet.
Why the trailer points to TVING, not Netflix
tvN is a cable channel owned by CJ ENM, and CJ ENM also runs TVING, the Korean streaming service where tvN dramas appear in Korea. TVING is generally limited to viewers inside Korea, which is why Amazon’s deal excludes South Korea. A TVING link in a YouTube description does not help overseas viewers, and searching for the show on Netflix will come up empty.
The same tvN slot carried a different arrangement only weeks earlier. The previous Monday-Tuesday drama, My Bias, My Boss, went to Rakuten Viki in select regions. International rights for Korean dramas are sold title by title, so the platform for one tvN show tells you nothing certain about the next one.
Plan your first week of Love in Disguise
The simplest plan is to add the show to your Prime Video watchlist now, so the app can alert you on October 19. US East Coast viewers can watch over breakfast on Monday and Tuesday, while viewers in the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia get the same slot as Korean prime time. If you want to compare Prime Video with the other services that carry Korean dramas, our full guide breaks down coverage, prices and regional gaps.
