A&E’s investment in Korean production and Group Eight’s capacity to produce was stated to be an outstanding move to capture both box office and quality of work.
When it came to funding the production of ‘Woori The Virgin,’ we chose to invest based on our knowledge of the American original, and as a result, we helped to create innovative works that break the mould, they said. Group 8 knows how to showcase innovative works by reinterpreting content across genres like musicals and plays, as well as successfully transforming cartoons into dramas. Their understanding of the value of content and the likelihood of success in a local remake of an American original was also beneficial in this drama. ‘Jane the Virgin’ is claimed to have been recently released with a texture that matches the domestic sentiment.
