Long Vacation: Netflix's New Korean Romance Series Directed by Lee Jung-hyo
Netflix is currently in the process of producing a new Korean romance series called Long Vacation, directed by Lee Jung-hyo and written by Jung Hyun-jung. The show features rising stars Choo Young-woo and Lee Se-young in the lead roles. Choo Young-woo plays Demon 3375, a powerful being who has never experienced love, while Lee Se-young portrays Deul-pan, a hardworking hotel room attendant. As their paths cross at a seaside hotel, an unexpected relationship begins to develop, challenging the demon's beliefs.
With Lee Jung-hyo and Jung Hyun-jung at the helm, Netflix has high expectations for Long Vacation. Lee Jung-hyo, known for his work on Crash Landing on You, has established himself as a successful Korean drama director. Jung Hyun-jung, a seasoned romance writer, has a track record of popular series like I Need Romance and Romance Is a Bonus Book. The collaboration between these two talents promises an engaging and captivating series for viewers.
The upcoming series is part of Netflix's commitment to Korean content, with a diverse lineup of 33 Korean titles announced earlier this year. From reality shows like Singles Inferno to romantic comedies like Boyfriend on Demand, Netflix is showcasing a wide range of Korean entertainment. Additionally, Lee Chang-dong's Possible Love, his first film in eight years, is expected to make a splash at major film festivals. Korean content continues to be a significant driver of Netflix's success outside the United States, as demonstrated by the recent BTS concert broadcast that attracted millions of viewers worldwide.
