Yoon Eun-hye × Joo Ji-hoon starring in the classic Korean drama "Palace" is sure to be made into a TV series again

In 2006, the classic Korean drama "Palace" (alias: "My Savage Princess"), starring Joo Ji-hoon, Yoon Eun-hye, Kim Jung-hoon, Song Ji-hyo and others, will be produced into a TV series again.

On the 5th, Jaedam Media, which is responsible for the brokerage business of "Palace", recently said that it has signed a contract with the TV series production company Group8 to remake "Palace".

The comic "Gong" tells a series of romantic love stories that occur after the hero of Wang Shizi and the ordinary woman decide to marry under the imaginary worldview of Korea as a constitutional monarchy. The manga "Palace" has been serialized for 10 years since 2003 and has become a million bestseller not only in Korea but also in Japan.

The manga has been exported to more than 10 countries and regions, including Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and France, making it a veritable leader in "K-Comics". In addition, it has been transformed into TV dramas, novels, musicals, etc., and has been produced into various Fancy products, which are developed in many ways and with multimedia. Among them, musicals have also caused great repercussions in Japan. Recently, contracts for dramatization have also been signed in China, Thailand, Mexico and other places. In addition, after the end of the Korean domestic manga series, with the production of manga and other productions, the popularity continued unabated.

The TV series "Palace" soared in popularity when it aired in 2006, with a highest rating of more than 27%, and the next year even appeared in the Spin off TV series "Palace S" with the same world view, which once became a topic. Actors Joo Ji-hoon and Yoon Eun-hye, who appeared as the heroes and heroines of the Korean drama "Palace", were also rated as popular actors through this TV series.

Group8, the TV drama production company that has confirmed the remake, has produced Korean dramas such as "Sorry, I Love You", "Dream Couple", "Fancy Man", "My ID is Gangnam Beauty", etc., and is one of the production companies that lead the boom of Hallyu TV dramas.

The fate of the production company Group8 and "Palace" is not only in the TV series, but also in the musical theater. At that time, after the TV series was fired, "Palace" was made into a musical, and it was staged not only in South Korea and Japan, but also by the production company Group8. Idol stars such as Jung Yoon-ho, Kim Gyu-jong, Kim Tong-joon, Tae-min, and So-hyun have starred in the main role, forming a large fan group in Japan. Prior to the signing of the TV series remake contract, the musical rights of "Palace" were also signed by Group8 and are currently being promoted as a permanent performance, so it can be said that it is ready to make "Palace" the main IP in the entire content industry.

In addition, Miya, which used to publish manga, has recently been edited through a full-color web manga and is being re-serialized through Kakao Page. As it has been published for many years, Jaedam Media, who is responsible for the management of works, said: "It is necessary to continue to produce new works, but I think the continuous vitality of existing good works is also an important part of IP expansion."
