Honour & Love Me Set for South Korean Adaptations

Eccho Rights has sold the rights to the Swedish drama series Honour and Love Me to be remade for the South Korean market.

“South Korean producers are increasingly open to working with European scripts, and these are two of the most interesting coming from Sweden right now,” said Deborah Youn, head of Asia business at Eccho Rights. “With its female-driven story and contemporary themes, Honour is perfect for remake in any territory, while Love Me is a thoroughly relatable romance that has already enjoyed success as a scripted adaptation.”

A Viaplay original, Honour is produced by Bigster and was created by Swedish actress Sofia Helin. The series has sold as ready-made in more than 60 countries and has several remakes in development around the world. Its third season debuts on Viaplay in September.

Love Me, another Viaplay original, is produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production Sverige. Created, written and directed by Josephine Bornebusch, who also stars, the series has been remade by WBITVP in Australia.

HOW Pictures will produce the South Korean versions of Honour and Love Me.
