KBS Sitcom 'Unstoppable Marriage' To Air in Japan

The KBS 2TV daily sitcom 'Unstoppable Marriage" will be broadcast in Japan starting next month.



"The cable channel KBS Japan will be broadcasting the drama starting June 9th," said 'Unstoppable Marriage' producer Lee Gyo-yook. "This will be a step in the right direction to continue promoting the Hallyu phenomenon," he explained.

Not only will the drama be aired in Japan this June, there is already a signed contract for the export of the 'Unstoppable Marriage' DVD set this October.

'Unstoppable Marriage' stars Seo Do-young and Park Chae-kyung. It is based on the original movie version starring Kim Soo-mi and Lim Chae-moo. Although ratings for the TV drama were in the single digits in Korea, it is receiving an enthusiastic response from Japanese audiences.

Fans from Japan even came to the set of the TV drama to watch Seo Do-young who achieved fame in Japan after starring in director Yoon Seok-ho's TV drama 'Spring Waltz' last March. The Japanese magazine for Hallyu enthusiasts, 'KBOOM,' also introduced Park Chae-kyung as a Hallyu up-and-comer in an exclusive interview.

Thats the guy from Spring waltz....? Ahah...ha.. Never realised 'til now @.@

Havent watched the drama before... but its nice they got good ratings~

Actually, they didn't get good ratings. >.<

From Coolsmurf:

After a long eight months of airing on KBS 2TV, the sitcom ended it’s run of 140 episodes on 30th May with a rating of just 4.7%, the finale not even seeing an increase. The average rating never once got pass the 5% mark.

Unstoppable Marriage was a spinoff from the movie of the same title retaining Kim Soo Mi and Im Chae Moo. It also starred Seo Do Young (Spring Waltz), Lee Jung, Kim Dong Wook (Coffee Shop 1st Prince), Soo Young and Yuri (So Nyeo Shi Dae), Lee Jae Jin (F.T Island), etc including several new faces.

Many netizens were noticeably disappointed with the ending, claiming it did not meet their expectations, “This is it? they are ending it just like this?”, “This is not the final episode right?”, “It’s really lacking and inconclusive…”.
