Cable station tvN has snapped up another hit American TV show to remake into a K-drama (Entourage plans to air next year), and has confirmed procuring rights to CBSโs The Good Wife.
The drama premiered in 2009 to widespread acclaim, and is currently in the middle of its seventh season. Centered around the titular character played by Juliana Margulies, the showโs premise puts her in the aftermath of her state attorney husband being sent to prison following a sex scandal. She returns to her prior profession as a lawyer after leaving it 13 years ago, and the show follows her path of rediscovery as she also balances both her personal and professional lives. The show has been nominated for a whole slew of awards, with some key wins at the Emmys and Golden Globes.
The Good Wifeโs remake will be directed by PD Lee Jung-hyo, who is definitely an experienced talent whose skills I trust after dramas like Heartless City, Witchโs Romance, Because Itโs the First Time, and I Need Romance (an interesting mix, I always find). On the other hand, writing is Han Sung-woon, who adapted Israeli drama The Gordin Cell into KBSโs snoozy Spy.
The drama will premiere sometime in 2016.
