Recently adapted into a television drama, the Kakao webtoon “A Business Proposal” has captured the interest of both local and international viewers with its unique, heart-fluttering storyline and dramatic romance of two couples that were brought together because of an unexpected blind date.

Because of the different cultural backgrounds of potential viewers, the global launch of “A Business Proposal” began with concerns rather than excitement, webtoon author and illustrator Narak said in an email interview with The Korea Herald.

“It turned out that all my worries were for naught. I never imagined my webtoon being read in different languages by readers around the world,” Narak added.

A co-director of the upcoming period drama "Pachinko" said Friday the show is specifically about a Korean family moving to Japan in the 20th century, but it also tells a timelessly universal story of immigrants throughout the world.

Based on the namesake novel written by Korean American author Min Jin Lee, the latest Apple TV+ original series depicts the life of Sunja, born to a poor family in Busan in the early 1900s. The 1910-1945 Japanese colonial rule forces her to move to Japan, and she and her family have to go through a tough life there even after the Second World War.

The series is one of the most anticipated projects for its multinational production in Canada, South Korea and Japan; the all-star cast, including Oscar-winning Youn Yuh-jung; and another story about Koreans from the past made by Korean American creators following the 2020 immigrant film "Minari."

Writer: Yoon Hyun-Ho
Network: tvN
Episodes: 16
Release Date: February 28 - April 19, 2022
Runtime: Monday & Tuesday 22:30
Language: Korean
Country: South Korea

CAST: Ahn Bo Hyun (Do Bae Man), Jo Bo Ah (Cha Woo In), Oh Yeon Soo (Noh Hwa Young), Kim Young Min (Yong Moon Goo), Kim Woo Seok (Noh Tae Nam)

PLOT SUMMARY: Money, fame, and doggedness are the only three words that describe Do Be Man, a money-grubbing military prosecutor. After losing his parents at the age of ten, he has managed to pass the bar exam but has not been able to land a decent job due to his rather unimpressive educational background. Then someone offers Be Man a deal to trade five years of his life as a military prosecutor for a guaranteed law firm partnership. At the end of Be Man’s five-year contract and just before the beginning of his dream life, Cha Woo In steps into his life. Although she’s a rookie military prosecutor, Woo In, coming from a wealthy family, does not hesitate to speak up for what is right, and her daring and dauntless personalities often and inevitably cause trouble within the already corrupt military legal system. The moment Woo In sees Be Man, she realizes that he could be the perfect tool to fulfill her real reason for joining the military. And just like that, an unlikely partnership between two military prosecutors sets off.
