While fleeing a film set in an old van, she is transported to the past, where she meets On Dal (Lee Jong-hyun), a man who will do anything to make money but is in fact generous to the weak and poor.[1](https://asianwiki.com/My_Only_Love_Song) • [6](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/my_only_love_song) The two do not get along at first, and much of the story runs on their bickering before feelings develop.[7](https://kdramakisses.com/2017/08/28/my-only-love-song-korean-drama-review/)\n\nThe old van, named Boong Boong, functions as the time machine and is treated almost as a character in its own right; the show never explains how it works.[8](https://heart-n-seoul.com/2019/04/14/my-only-love-song/) • [9](https://latestnetflix.com/series/70372) Soo-jung's road manager Byun Sam-yong (Lee Jae-jin) follows her into the past, and the plot involves a history book whose account of events changes as the characters interfere.[10](https://thegameofnerds.com/2017/07/04/netflixs-my-only-love-song-review/)\n\nThe supporting cast includes Lee Jae-jin as Byun Sam-yong, Jin Ye-ju as Princess Pyunggang, Ahn Bo-hyun as Moo-myung, Park Joo-hyung as Go Il-yong, Lee Yong-jik as King Pyungwon, Lee Cheol-min as a movie director and magistrate, and Kim Jung-pal as a government official.[1](https://asianwiki.com/My_Only_Love_Song) • [2](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/my-only-love-song)\n\n## Historical setting\n\nThe series adapts the legend of Ondal, a figure of Korean folklore, as a youth fantasy drama.[3](https://news.nate.com/view/20170314n19644) Sources disagree on which era the characters travel to: AsianWiki's synopsis places the story in the Goryeo era, a Kdrama Kisses review places it in the Goguryeo era, and [JustWatch](https://www.edgepedia.org/justwatch) and FlickFinder describe it as the Joseon era.[1](https://asianwiki.com/My_Only_Love_Song) • [7](https://kdramakisses.com/2017/08/28/my-only-love-song-korean-drama-review/) • [2](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/my-only-love-song) The historical On Dal is associated with the Goguryeo period, and the drama also weaves in the tale of Princess Pyeonggang, whose story appears in the episode titles.[11](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/my_only_love_song/s01)\n\n## Production and the move to Netflix\n\n**Pre-production and the Chinese contract.** The drama was the first drama production by FNC Add Culture, a production subsidiary of [FNC Entertainment](https://www.edgepedia.org/fnc-entertainment), the agency of the CNBLUE singer Lee Jong-hyun. It was fully pre-produced, with filming beginning on September 26, 2016 at Gaeun Set in Mungyeong, Gyeongsangbuk Province.[1](https://asianwiki.com/My_Only_Love_Song) • [3](https://news.nate.com/view/20170314n19644)\n\nThe series was originally scheduled to air in February 2017 on the Chinese platform Sohu. After China's restrictions on Korean content following the THAAD missile-defense deployment made the platform's launch date uncertain, FNC Add Culture terminated the Chinese contract and pursued a Netflix deal instead, citing the risk of the content losing value and its responsibility to the actors. Netflix then released the series worldwide in about 190 countries.[3](https://news.nate.com/view/20170314n19644) A 2019 retrospective also notes distribution over [Naver Corporation](https://www.edgepedia.org/naver-corporation) and Sohu.[8](https://heart-n-seoul.com/2019/04/14/my-only-love-song/)\n\n**Casting history.** Lee Jong-hyun and Gong Seung-yeon had appeared together as a virtual couple on the MBC variety show *We Got Married* from March 14, 2015 to August 29, 2015, and the drama was pitched as a reunion for the pair.[1](https://asianwiki.com/My_Only_Love_Song) • [9](https://latestnetflix.com/series/70372)\n\n## Reception\n\nAudience scores diverge sharply by platform. IMDb users give the series 6.9 out of 10 from about 1,000 votes, while JustWatch's user rating stands at 12% from 76 votes; AsianWiki visitors rate it 95/100 from 1,395 votes.[2](https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/my-only-love-song) • [1](https://asianwiki.com/My_Only_Love_Song) Rotten Tomatoes lists no critic reviews for the series.[6](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/my_only_love_song)\n\nReviewers describe it as a light, comedy-heavy rom-com built on a time-travel gimmick. The Kdrama Kisses review praises the leads' chemistry and the humor of Soo-jung's fish-out-of-water behavior, but notes that the heavy comedy makes it hard to connect with the characters and that the show loses steam in its second half; the reviewer rated it 6/10.[7](https://kdramakisses.com/2017/08/28/my-only-love-song-korean-drama-review/) A Game of Nerds review calls it a heartwarming road trip through time and space shared by an idol, her manager, a con artist, a princess, her bodyguard, and a magic car.[10](https://thegameofnerds.com/2017/07/04/netflixs-my-only-love-song-review/)\n\n## Availability\n\nAs of October 2026 the series streams on Netflix in 126 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, and is not available on Prime Video, Disney+, Max, or Apple TV in any country.[4](https://www.flickfinder.net/tv/my-only-love-song-2017-70372) [Availability](https://www.edgepedia.org/availability) has narrowed over time: Flixboss records that the title was removed from Netflix Brazil on September 12, 2026, while remaining available in countries including Germany, Argentina, Australia, Canada, Colombia, South Korea, Spain, France, Japan, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.[5](https://br.flixboss.com/serie/my-only-love-song-80178564) In Netflix's own media center, the series appears among its originals, described as the story of a vain star who judges people solely by their riches and journeys back in time, where she encounters a striving man whose greatest passion is money.[12](https://media.netflix.com/en/only-on-netflix/80178564)\n\n## References\n\n1.
