Netflix rolled more Korean content this month. From dramas to documentaries, the streaming giant made sure to serve fans with stories to inspire and feel good.
BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky is soaring on Netflix's trending list in most parts of Asia because it is the streaming giant's first documentary centered on a Kpop group.
Released last October 14, BLACKPINK's documentary chronicled how Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rose started their journey to become the world's most popular girl group.
The documentary hit its mark with BLINKs and casual viewers as it gave a fresh insight into the difficult process of training and debuting to become a Kpop idol. The documentary also humanized the four BLACKPINK members to the public. They earned massive respect for their hard work and efforts to deliver stunning performances on stage.
Go Ara's Do Do Sol La La Sol may have run into a brief production delay amid a recent spark in COVID-19 cases in Korea, but the drama's team quickly bounced back and made up for the lost time to release it on schedule.
In the drama, Go Ara plays the role of a pianist, while Lee Jae Wook takes on the role of a veteran part-timer. The two characters meet in a piano academy in a countryside village. The drama is expected to deliver on a sweet romance, a refreshing comedy, a bit of drama, and a lot of beautiful music.
One of the most anticipated dramas in the final quarter of the year is Nam Joo Hyun and Bae Suzy's Start-Up, a drama that centers around young and ambitious characters who are struggling to make their way to the top of the tech industry.
For the series, Suzy teams up with her While You Were Sleeping director and writer to take on the role of Korea's version of Steve Jobs during his early days, Kdramastars reported.
Familiar Wife is a fantasy drama top-billed by Ji Sung and Han Ji Min. The drama centers on a married couple suffering through the challenges of raising a family and maintaining their finances.
