CJ ENM, a big name in South Korean entertainment, is making a bold move. They are turning two popular K-dramas into Spanish versions. This is their way of reaching more people in Latin America.
The two shows are \'The Practical Guide to Love\' and \'Our Universe\'. Both are expected to hit screens in Spanish soon. This is a big deal because it means more people can enjoy these stories without language barriers.
\'The Practical Guide to Love\' is a romantic comedy. It stars Han Ji-min and Park Sung-hoon. The story is about a woman named So Ui-yeon. She is trying to find love and has to choose between two very different guys. One is quiet and sincere, the other is playful and honest. The show is all about her journey and the choices she makes.
On the other hand, \'Our Universe\' is a mix of romance and coming-of-age themes. It features Roh Jeong-eui and Bae In-hyuk. They play future in-laws who start off as rivals. But life throws them a curveball. They end up taking care of a young girl together. The show is about how they grow and change, both as parents and as people.
This move by CJ ENM is not just about dubbing shows. It's about connecting with a new audience. By making their content available in Spanish, they are making it more accessible. This is a smart strategy, especially since K-dramas are becoming more popular in Latin America.
In fact, CJ ENM has already made a big impact in the region. They secured a prime-time slot on a Mexican TV channel. This is the first time Korean dramas have had their own slot on Mexican broadcast TV. This shows that there is a growing interest in Korean content.
The company is not stopping there. They plan to roll out these Spanish-dubbed shows quickly. This means Latin American viewers won't have to wait long to enjoy these stories.
In the end, this is all about making content that people can relate to. By dubbing these shows into Spanish, CJ ENM is making sure that language is not a barrier. They are bringing stories that are universal and relatable to a whole new audience.
