Although it is still rarely done, it seems that the drama production team is now actively producing dramas that are appointed as webtoons considering that the opposite is also being done like 'Be Melodramatic'.
Producing dramas adapted from webtoons is something that is often done. Like one of the dramas adapted from the webtoon "True Beauty", "Our Beloved Summer", "Nevertheless", "Yumi's Cells" and many more. However, it is different if a drama is appointed as a webtoon.
On December 8, it was confirmed that the 2019 hit JTBC series "Be Melodramatic" will be produced as a webtoon. "Be Melodramatic" will be produced as a comic series that tells the worries, relationships, and daily lives of three women in their thirties.
Previously, this drama was played by Chun Won Hee, Jeon Yeo Bin, and Han Ji Eun. Thanks to their fun action, viewers loved the concept and had iconic scenes to remember. The drama is written by scriptwriters Lee Byung Hun and Kim Young Young and directed by Lee Byung Hun and Kim Hye Young.
"Be Melodramatic" itself continues to be talked about as a life drama for many people until it becomes popular with a wide audience around the world through various online streaming platforms. Now, this drama will reach new audiences after it is confirmed that it will be adapted into a webtoon that can be read by the younger generation.
Besides, after "Be Melodramatic" aired, the cast of the drama began to gain popularity which is currently on the rise. One of them is Jeon Yeo Bin who became a successful star after he led the tvN crime comedy drama "Vincenzo" with Song Joong Ki and the mystery crime film "Night in Paradise". Jeon Yeo Bin also bagged the main award for his outstanding performance at the 2021 Asia Artist Awards.
Han Ji Eun appeared in various series such as "Kkondae Intern", "Lovestruck in the City" and more. Her new upcoming drama is "Bad And Crazy". Meanwhile, Chun Woo Hee focused on making films such as "Vertigo", "Stolen Identity" and many more.
Meanwhile, although it is still rarely done, it is reported that other dramas adapted into webtoons also include "Fight For My Way", "Healer", and "Signal". (wk/taki)
