Soompi & Viki Staff Talk: What Is Your Favorite K-Drama Where Cohabitation Turns To Romance?

 

 

This month, some of our staff members discuss our favorite K-dramas where the leads have to live together for various reasons but end up falling in love!

 

Take a look at our staff’s picks:

 

 

Winnie: “Full House”

 

 

When talking about housemates-to-lovers, the iconic “Full House” cannot be missed. My very first K-drama, this is a true classic starring Song Hye Kyo and Rain, who breathed life into their roles and chemistry despite their young age at the time. In “Full House,” Han Ji Eun (Song Hye Kyo) and Lee Young Jae (Rain) inevitably live together when her friends scam her by secretly selling her house to Young Jae and taking all of the money. They do not start out on a positive note but gradually begin falling for each other. It’s a drama full of charm, humor, and warmth that is a timeless gem for a reason.

*** High-end fashion sports brand K-Swiss  celebrated the grand opening of its flagship store in The Venetian Macao. RAIN was invited together with Zheng Zhixun, (known for Girl Dorm) and Zhou Xiaohan (Amanda Chou) and they attended the opening ceremony on March 8. Fans arrived early to occupy the seats, and even screamed when Rain appeared. Amanda Chou from Taiwan introduced herself in Cantonese. She joked that she was a fan of Rain. The close interaction made her very excited, and she even took the opportunity to take a photo, saying: "I have been a fan of his since I was a child. I have been listening to his songs since I was in high school and college. I like him, he dances really well" In order to meet her idol, Amanda even practiced a few words in Korean. Nicholas Tse also attended the event. He is also Amanda's idol: In fact, Amanda Chou has been busy promoting her movie in Taiwan recently, so she immediately agreed to attend the event in Macau because Rain and Nicolas Tse were on the show.

Disney+ unveils lineup, strategy for Korean market

Slew of Korean originals starring big names to be released in latter half of 2024

 

 

Emphasizing the importance of the Korean market, Disney+ said Tuesday that it will focus on quality over quantity going forward.

 

"Disney Korea is evolving from playing the role of a distributor of global stories and content to producing content here and bringing it outside of Korea. The quality and the storytelling of Korean content is so attractive to audiences not only in APAC, but beyond," said Carol Choi, executive vice president of original content strategy at The Walt Disney Company APAC, during the Disney+ 2024 Content Lineup Media Day held at Jongno-gu, Seoul, Tuesday. APAC refers to the Asia-Pacific region.

 

"(It) has become very important for us to establish partnerships with (Korean) creators and deep relationships in (the Korean) market," she added.

 

According to Choi, nine of the top 15 best-performing international original titles released on Disney+ during fiscal year 2023 were Korean titles.

 

"This is a significant and important data point, as it reinforces the global resonance of Korean storytelling and how stories produced in Korea are world-class and captivating audiences worldwide," said Choi.

 

"Disney’s creative excellence and commitment will remain key pillars of the company’s future, and we will continue to invest in Korea’s creative economy and nurture and support its local creative community," Choi added.

 

According to Choi, Korean consumers are highly sophisticated in their entertainment and streaming choices. Choi added that Disney+ audiences have a preference for heavily scripted content with high production value.

"This year, Disney+ is aiming for the provision of high-quality content over quantity. Through selection and focus, Disney+ will continue its growth via carefully curated premium contents," said Kim So-youn, managing director of Walt Disney Company Korea.

 

Also coming out in the second half are "Red Swan," a revenge drama starring Kim Ha-neul and Jung Ji-hoon, and "Gangnam B-Side," a crime drama starring Jo Woo-jin and Ji Chang-wook.
