ATF Spotlight: CJ E&M

SINGAPORE: The story in CJ E&M’s drama Legend of the Blue Sea centers on a gullible mermaid and an attractive con artist.

The series, set in present day, was brought to life by Park Ji-eun, “one of the best writers in Korea,” says Don Kang, the company’s head of international sales. The drama stars Jun Ji-hyun and Lee Min-ho.

Writer Kim Eun-sook, whose credits include The Heirs and Descendants of the Sun, is behind the scripted drama Goblin. The series features a traditional Korean goblin who is brought back as the sexiest man on the planet and is now looking for a wife.

CJ E&M is also presenting Entourage, a remake of the popular U.S. series. This South Korean adaptation uncovers the back stories of a group of friends living the celebrity lifestyle.

Kang says, “For all three titles, the casts are irrefutably the best possible combinations.”
