Lee Chang-dong's new film 'Possible Love' is a new work by cinematographer Kim Ji-yong, known for 'Decision to Leave' and Season 2 of 'Squid Game'. The film is entering global release and appearing on streaming platforms, which means viewers in different countries once again face the question: how to pay for a subscription or rental if your local card isn't accepted.

Where to watch 'Possible Love'

The exact list of platforms depends on your region. Korean releases of this caliber usually appear:

  • in arthouse and limited theatrical runs — local cinemas and international distributors;
  • on streaming — most often MUBI, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, or regional platforms like TVING and Wavve for Korea;
  • in digital rental and purchase — Apple TV, Google Play Movies, Amazon.

Check the current pricing and catalog availability on the service's website: release windows vary by country, and the same platform may show the film in one country but not another.

How much it costs and whether there are regional prices

Subscription and rental prices vary widely by account region. Roughly:

  • MUBI — around $10–15 per month, cheaper in some countries;
  • Apple TV — rental usually $4–6, purchase $15–20;
  • Amazon Prime Video — subscription or one-off rental, price varies by country;
  • TVING and Wavve — Korean platforms with local pricing, often require a Korean phone number and payment method.

Regional prices can differ significantly, but linking an account to another country sometimes requires a local payment method and address.

Does the platform accept foreign-issued cards?

Most major streamers accept Visa and Mastercard, but with caveats:

  • 3-D Secure — almost always required, so your virtual card must support SMS or app-based verification;
  • AVS — address verification. If the service requires a US or UK ZIP and your card is from another region, the payment may fail;
  • Card region — some platforms reject cards issued outside the account's country.

How to pay with a virtual card step by step

  1. Issue a virtual Visa or Mastercard in the required currency (USD, EUR, GBP).
  2. Top up with a buffer: the subscription amount plus 15–20% for pre-authorization or exchange rate differences.
  3. Log into your streaming account and add the card in the payment section.
  4. Enter the address and ZIP matching the account region if the service checks AVS.
  5. Confirm the payment via 3-D Secure.
  6. Check that the charge went through and disable auto-renewal if needed.

How much to keep on the balance: for a monthly subscription — the plan amount plus a buffer; for a rental — the rental price plus a small reserve. For pre-orders or pre-authorizations, the bank may hold more than the actual amount.

What to do if the payment fails

  • Check that the card is enabled for online payments and supports 3-D Secure.
  • Make sure the card region matches the account region or at least isn't blocked by the service.
  • Try a different card currency or a different platform.
  • As a backup — a service gift card (Apple Gift Card, Amazon Gift Card) or payment through an intermediary.
  • For physical goods (if it's merch or a disc edition), use a package forwarder.

FAQ

Can I pay for a subscription to 'Possible Love' with a Russian card?
Major international streamers don't accept cards from Russian banks. Use a foreign-issued virtual card.

Do I need a VPN to watch?
Many platforms check region by IP. If the film is only available in your account's country, a VPN may be needed, but this may violate the service's terms.

What if the service requires a local phone number?
Korean platforms sometimes require a local number. In that case, it's easier to choose an international streaming service with the film in its catalog.
