My Happy Ending is a complicated and frustrating TV show that keeps throwing more and more drama our way by the episode. I suppose that’s what you get when it’s a “makjang” drama, but I’m not sure it’s doing it to the same effect as say Penthouse, Sky Castle, or even The World of the Married. I don’t think My Happy Ending will be the dark horse of this genre of Korean dramas simply because it addresses mental health, and I don’t think it’s doing a very good job at that either. At first, it felt like the show was trying to make the viewer realize that having bipolar disorder won’t stop you from becoming a successful CEO with a perfect family and everything you could dream of; however, as the show progresses, this positive outlook changes to something more negative when...

The year has only begun, and we already have a Makjang drama to obsess over. We’re already certain that this drama is going to leave us furious, like The World of the Married or Sky Castle, considering how the first episode has played out. My Happy Ending follows a successful female CEO, Jae-Won, who seemingly lives the life of Barbie. You know, she’s got the perfect family, a billion-dollar company, and celebrity status; what more can she want? Nothing really, but as it happens in such situations, envy is the source of all life’s problems, and Jae-Won is quickly wrapped in a nonsensical web of deceit. How will she survive the ultimate betrayal?
Spoilers Ahead
What Happens In Episode 1?
Episode 1 begins with Jae-Won running for her life and being followed by a man in a mask and all-black clothes. As he catches her and chokes her to death,...

School bullying has always been a topic of interest for the K-drama industry. I suppose Dramaland was far ahead of its time when it was decided that most villainous characters would be the rich “chaebols,” who then get put in their place while the good, rich “chaebol” takes the girl and the cake all to himself. Sky Castle and Penthouse were Makjang dramas that were global hits, both including the subject of special schools for the rich and how these kids grow up. Bitch And Rich is a mini-series that tries to provide the same sort of adrenaline rush but fails to impress with its surface-level attitude towards the subject. As is common with K-dramas, the show tries to include a comical tone despite dealing with a serious subject, which comes across as being in poor taste. Additionally, it’s a show about school for school kids, and even with 30-minute episodes,...

What is a “makjang” K-drama? The TV series genre is best described as having exaggerated plots that “take things too far.” Fans will see dramatic characterizations, scandalous affairs, and intense murderous drama, often revolving around the filthy-rich elite who can get away with it all. Netflix’s revenge K-drama The Glory can be categorized as one, but there are plenty more to enjoy.

Korean TV powerhouse Jtbc is upping its game and changing its name in order to stay at the forefront of the worldwide Korean content explosion.
While the parent broadcast group will keep the Jtbc monicker, its 15-strong cluster of production companies have been renamed Studio LuluLaLa, or Sll, instead of the prosaic Jtbc Studios. The word ‘Lululala’ is used in Korea to express joy and adventure. And it translates easily enough.
More persuasive is the KRW3 trillion (2.4 billion) that Sll is now promising to put into content production over the three years 2022-2024.
That number, revealed at a press event this week, compares with the 500 million that Netflix committed to spending in Korea in 2021 and the 4.4 billion that Cj Enm says it will spend over the five years between 2021 and 2025. (Regional research firm Media Partners Asia this month forecast that Netflix would increase its investment and pump 750 million into Korean content in the current year.

CAA has sold a majority stake in Wiip, the producer behind HBO’s Mare of Easttown and Apple’s Dickinson, to Korean company Jtbc Studios. It marks the first sale of an agency-backed studio after CAA and the other agencies agreed to end their standoff with the WGA and sell a majority interest in their content divisions.
CAA, which was previously the majority owner of wiip, will remain a minority shareholder in the Paul Lee-led company.
Deadline understands that CAA had been shopping the stake around a number of traditional U.S studios but there were no takers. It comes as others such as WME are still looking for a buyer for an 80% stake in Endeavor Content.
Private equity company Atwater Capital, which took a stake in wiip in 2020, will also sell its stake.
