Korean Drama Boom in Thailand
 The state operated
Channel 7 has started to broadcast the Korean drama "Full House" since the 25th.
The drama hit the air waves a little later than planned but it is aired for two
hours every Saturday and Sunday starting from 9:15 a.m.
Rain and Song Haegyo
are already famous stars in Thailand. Rain will be showing off his acting
skills. Song is also well known for 'Autumn Fairy Tale'. This might revamp the
Korean Wave in Thailand, which has recently slowed down.
Meanwhile, on iTV,'Tell Me You Love Me' starring Kim Raewon, Yeom Jeonga,
Yoon Soi, and Kim Seongso starts its broadcasting in July 10th following the
Korean drama 'Bodyguard'.
On iTV 'Asian Series' shows Japanese dramas during
the daytime on weekdays(noon~ 1:00 p.m.) and Korean dramas on evening time(5:00
p.m.~ 6:00 p.m.). Although the campaign is titled 'Asian Series,' it mainly
shows Korean and Japanese dramas and fierce competition is expected. It is
interesting to watch whether Kim Raewon will gain popularity in Thailand as he
did in Japan and become a new Korean Wave star.
