“The Sacred Jewel” has been invited to the non-competitive Rendez-Vous section of the 9th Cannes International Series Festival, where it will be unveiled for the first time as a world premiere.
Notably, actors Ahn Bo-hyun and Su-hyun will attend the event in person, engaging with fans on the pink carpet and at Q&A sessions, marking the drama’s official launch into the global market.
The Cannes International Series Festival, which showcases dramas and content from around the world, will be held in Cannes, France, from April 23 to 28.
looks like the two of them got super close, they say they took pics like that before filming + Kang Jun reading the script and Eun Jin taking pictures of him 🤭
Changes have been detected in the production landscape of the drama “Granny,” which is being prepared as a Netflix original series. Sanaa Pictures (CEO Han Jae-deok), a subsidiary of Kakao Entertainment (hereafter Kakao Entertainment), which had initially been listed as a co-production company alongside Studio Dragon (CEO Jang Kyung-ik), a subsidiary of CJ ENM, has abruptly withdrawn from the project. As a result, some changes in the collaboration structure between Kakao, which holds the original IP (intellectual property), and CJ ENM affiliates, which are leading production, appear inevitable.
Industry observers believe that disagreements over profit distribution and equity shares played a role in the collapse of the joint production. Sanaa Pictures reportedly requested an increased share of profits and equity based on the fact that its parent company, Kakao Entertainment, holds the IP of the original webtoon. However, the gap in positions could not be narrowed during negotiations with Studio Dragon.
If “Granny” proceeds as a solo production, it is seen as an opportunity for Studio Dragon to once again demonstrate its global production capabilities. Through collaboration with director Han Dong-wook, who directed “The Worst of Evil,” the project is expected to deliver a stylish action noir, backed by experience from multiple successful global projects.
the inner “brain structure” of Go Youn-jung’s character:
A significant part of Eun-a’s mind is occupied by the company “Choi Film,” where she works as a planning PD (producer). Thanks to her sharp insight and refreshing style of reviewing scripts, she earned the nickname “Axe PD.” However, her exceptional talent has ironically become a source of trouble.
Her abilities provoke intense jealousy from her boss, CEO Choi Dong-hyun (played by Choi Won-young). This hints at Eun-a’s fierce struggle for survival as she tries to protect herself amid the checks and pressures from both her superior and colleagues.
Deep within her mind lies “anxiety.” Whenever relationships falter or she faces unexpected emotions, she suffers nosebleeds. These are physical signals triggered when deeply buried past wounds resurface. While she appears flawless and sharp on the outside as a script reviewer, her fragile inner world raises curiosity about the origins of her instability.
Her grandmother, Ga Su-ja, is more than just family to Eun-a. Filling the void left by the absence of her mother, her grandmother raised her with devotion—rolling kimbap every dawn. She remains a quiet, steady presence who reassures those around her despite life’s hardships, symbolizing a calm center in Eun-a’s life.
Lastly, Hwang Dong-man (played by Koo Kyo-hwan) is someone who brings a refreshing change to Eun-a’s world. While others dismiss him as exhausting for having failed to debut for 20 years, Eun-a sees in him a resilience and vitality stronger than anyone else.
