What do "Idu-na" and "Moving" have in common that have also attracted attention overseas? The drama was produced based on webtoons. Both of these works were very popular and received positive reviews. As such, dramas based on webtoons continue to appear in the current K-content industry. What is the background of this?

This is because the dramatization of famous webtoons is no different from a box office guarantee check from the perspective of the production company. Since the webtoons themselves were very popular, it becomes easier to recruit actors or receive investments when trying to make them into dramas.

However, it is not always easy to dramatize webtoons. Since people are imprinted with the main character of the webtoons, producers should cast actors who are in sync with the characters, and various cartoon expressions in the webtoons should be transformed. They should pay attention to the CG in order to realize the web scenes into screen video.

Some point out that K-drama's competitiveness is declining, as it is difficult to find dramas that are not based on webtoons these days. The narrative may not be specific and could be insufficient compared to the drama due to the nature of the webtoon, so if it is not properly adapted, the story part of the work may be regrettable.
