Inter Medya has licensed the remake rights of the O3 Medya-produced series “Love Undercover” to one of South Korea’s major production houses, marking a first for Turkey and reversing the trend of Korean content being adapted for Turkish audiences. The romantic comedy, starring Şükrü Özyıldız and Burcu Özberk, will be adapted into a South Korean version with the script currently being developed by some of Korea’s top screenwriters. Details about the local cast and the remake will be shared in the coming months.
Inter Medya, which has previously licensed the remake rights of popular series such as “Bitter Lands,” “Mrs. Fazilet And Her Daughters,” and “Black Money Love” to various countries, continues to lead the sector by bringing the remake rights of “Love Undercover”—which was broadcast on NOW in Turkey—to South Korea as the first Korean adaptation of Turkish content.
“Adding another milestone to the global success of Turkish content is incredibly exciting for us. Through local-language adaptations of our titles, we're broadening the reach of our industry and achieving success on a global scale. As Inter Medya, we are thrilled to be at the forefront of this success in Korea.” said Can Okan, Founder and CEO of Inter Medya.
"We are thrilled to have licensed the remake rights of ‘Love Undercover’ to South Korea. Until now, Korean adaptations have been broadcast in Turkey. This time, we are excited to license a Turkish format’s remake rights to South Korea. With these remake rights, we aim to introduce Turkish content to new regions. We hope this will be the first of many such ventures," added Pelin Koray, Senior Sales, Acquisition, and Strategy Manager at Inter Medya.
