How does Netflix not pick up a drama of this scale? I truly don't understand them sometimes.
A bit surprising but also kinda didn't expect them to grab this unless there were planning for it to be in their 2027 line-up. Their 2026 line-up is pretty full with I think 17 dramas as of now
If there was an offer from Netflix out there, maybe they couldn't agree to terms on it's release period so they looked elsewhere i guess?
This is currently rumored to be released January 16th as a Fri-Sat drama but still not confirmed as of now
Worth noting that it was previously reported that Law Firm of Shinyirang was also scheduled to be released on January 16th a few months back so will have to see which takes the spot
According to a report by TenAsia on October 21st, Jun Ji Hyun and Ji Chang Wook are being strongly considered for the leads for the drama. The industry believes that their appearances are virtually confirmed
jTBC is the most likely broadcaster, while Coupang Play and Amazon Prime are likely OTT platforms. Coupang Play will handle domestic streaming, while Amazon Prime will handle international streaming

An official from Ji Chang Wook's agency Spring Company also told Newsen on the same day, "We have received an offer and are currently reviewing it."
