In 2021, Webtoon continues to be a very good source of quality content and material for Korean TV shows. TV series and movies adapted from Webtoon have received great positive reactions to this day. The year 2020 ended with the success of “Sweet Home”, a webtoon adaptation. “True Beauty”, a webtoon adaptation currently in theaters, has become a K-Drama with new episodes eagerly awaited. The plans for 2021 are webtoon adaptations such as these: ‘She Would Never Know’, ‘Raw’, ‘Hellbound’, ‘Omniscient Reader’ and ‘Yumi’s Cells’
She Would Never Know or Sunbae Don’t Put On That Lipstick
‘She Would Never Know’, with SF9’s Rowoon and Won Jin Ah, is an adaptation of the webtoon of the same name and will be released on January 18, 2021. The theme of the drama ‘She Would Never Know’ is a junior employee’s love for his senior specialist. The senior expert is strictly against dating young men! It looks like it will be a lot of fun …
Raw
The “fox beads” of a male gumiho (the legendary nine-tailed fox) are taken by a college student after an accident and the story begins like this. ‘Raw’ is based on an original webtoon, and the adaptation stars Jang Ki Yong, Girl’s Day’s Hyeri, Kang Hana, Kim Do Wan and Bae In Hyuk. Raw’s star-studded cast and engaging story are already thrilling.
Hellbound
Yeon Sang Ho, director of the movies ‘Train to Busan’ and ‘Peninsula’ directs Hellbound. Stars such as Yoo Ah In, Park Jung Min, Kim Hyun Joo and Won Jin Ah are all in the webtoon adaptation of ‘Hellbound’. “Hellbound” is a supernatural drama in which angels come to condemn people to hell. Although the subject is apocalypse, series deals with the real humanity itself!
Omniscient Reader
Although it is not a K-Drama adaptation, the main theme of ‘Omniscient Reader’ will be the subject of a movie. The story revolves around a young man who finds himself in the universe of his favorite web novel. Only he knows how this world will end and how it will survive. The film, whose cast has not been approved yet, will be released in 2021.
Yumi’s Cells
“Yumi’s Cells”, starring Kim Go Eun in the lead role, is based on an original webtoon. The drama will also include animation elements. Yumi is an ordinary office worker in her 30s who finds love in the little things. The story is told from the perspective of Yumi’s brain cells. We’re looking forward to this K-Drama!
