ABS-CBN announced its latest acquisition of Asia’s biggest hit series
namely “Love in the Moonlight,” “Legend of the Blue Sea,” “Hwoarang,”
“Weightlifting Fairy,” “Goblin,” “W,” and “Doctors.”
Evelyn Raymundo, head of ABS-CBN integrated acquisitions and
international sales and distribution, shared the news before hundreds of
communications students from different schools at the recently
concluded 11th Pinoy Media Congress. The auditorium was filled with loud
cheers as Raymundo showed trailers of these Asianovela hits.
First in line is “Love in the Moonlight,” which airs very soon on
ABS-CBN. It stars Korea’s breakout loveteam Park Bo Gum and Kim Joo Yung
in a funny and romantic story of a crown prince who falls in love with a
young woman disguised as a eunuch.
“Love in the Moonlight” is one of the most anticipated Korean dramas by
Filipino Asianovela fans. The clamor is so high that lead star Bo Gum’s
supposedly private and personal visit to Cebu recently was welcomed by
screaming fans and even trended on Twitter Philippines.
International superstar Lee Min Ho, meanwhile, is back on PH television
with one of Korea’s top leading ladies, Jun Ji Hyun, in a different love
story about a mermaid in love with a human in “Legend of the Blue Sea.”
Fans of “Train to Busan” lead star Gong Yoo get to see him again, this
time as an immortal protector of souls in hit series “Goblin.”
The Asianovela craze continues with the coming of age sports drama
“Weightlifting Fairy,” and a ‘kilig’-filled series that features an
elite group of young, handsome men devoted to defend the king in
“Hwarang.”
Fantasy drama “W” starring Lee Jong-suk and Han Hyo-joo is also coming
your way as well as “Doctors” starring Park Shin Hye and Kim Rae Won.
“W” tells the story of a woman pulled inside the parallel world of a
webtoon his father created, where she meets the lead character Kang
Cheol. Meanwhile, medical drama “Doctors” features the romantic story
between a reckless rebel turned neurosurgery fellow and her mentor.
