Kakao Entertainment (co-CEO Kwon Ki-soo, Jang Yoon-joong, hereinafter Kakao Entertainment) is coloring the world pink with K-romance this spring. Both "Monthly Boyfriend" and "Shining," which were released on the 6th, caught the eye by making the Netflix Top 10 in dozens of countries around the world within a day of their release.

The Netflix series "Monthly Boyfriend" (directed by Jungsik Kim/scripted by Namgung Do-young/produced by Wynat Media, Wind Pictures, Kakao Entertainment) ranked 7th worldwide in the Netflix TV show a day after its release on the 6th, and rose two places to 5th on the 8th, two days later, to gain popularity.

Korea, Asia, the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, have charted in the Top 10 in 69 countries around the world, raising expectations (based on 3/8 Flick Patrol). Viewers are also receiving positive reviews. IMDb, the world's largest content rating site, and MyDramaList, a global drama review site, said, "A charming story, beautiful visual beauty and good acting are combined. The actors' chemistry is the biggest advantage," and "Even the cameo naturally melts into the story to make the play more lively," and "It reflects the reality of virtual dating and online relationships, showing that respect, trust and responsibility are needed in real relationships."

Pink love fantasy, which is unfolded through virtual love simulation, raised the excitement index in viewers' sympathy and created a buzz. Jisoo, who plays the role of webtoon PD Mirae, who is tired of real life, is waking up viewers' love cells by experiencing a date full of excitement while going back and forth between various worldviews and scenarios in a virtual love subscription service with colorful colors and moods contrary to reality. Seo In-guk takes charge of Gyeongnam, a future co-worker, and adds fun by stimulating K-Roko's unique subtle tension and real-life love feelings with the emotion line that develops step by step from Jisoo and "hate relationship." On top of that, various charms of "virtual lovers," including Seo Kang-joon, Lee Soo-hyuk, Ong Seong-wu, Lee Jae-wook, Lee Hyun-wook, Kim Young-dae, Park Jae-beom, and Lee Sang-i, are also helping to gain popularity.

JTBC's Friday series "Shining" (written by Lee Sook-yeon/directed by Kim Yoon-jin/produced by SLL, Kakao Entertainment) ranked on the Netflix TV show TOP 10 in 34 countries, mainly in the Americas and Europe, including Mexico, Brazil, Greece and Portugal, two days after its first broadcast on the 6th (3/8 Flick Patrol standard). My Drama List said, "The casting is perfect The background is beautiful, the OST is good, and it is well-made by various global viewers, such as "It reminds me of my school days and youth days, and the actors' expressive power is excellent."

The refreshing and affectionate first love romance drawn by Park Jin-young and Kim Min-ju is providing deep sympathy across countries, languages, and generations. Moreover, Kim Yun-jin, who became a melodrama master and first love master with "That Year We" and "Tell Me I Love You," is attracting viewers around the world with his beautiful visual beauty and delicate production. In the first and second episodes, which aired last week, the brilliant youth of the two people developing fresh emotions against the backdrop of the green summer of high school seniors, and the process of ripening their affection as lovers after autumn and winter, raising the level of excitement. The two, who turned 20 years old, went to different universities and showed solid faith in each other even though their time together was reduced, recalling memories of their first love. "Shining," which attracts the attention of global viewers, will air twice consecutively every Friday at 8:50 p.m. to see if the two young people's affection can continue.
