Chorokbaem Media Signs 8 Billion KRW Supply Contract with TV Chosun for 'Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) Season 2'
[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Chorokbaem Media (hereinafter ‘Chorokbaem’) announced on the 17th through a public disclosure that it has signed a production supply contract worth 8 billion KRW for the weekend drama ‘Marriage Lyrics and Divorce Music Season 2’ with its drama production subsidiary ‘Highground.’ This amount accounts for 17.12% of last year’s sales, and the contract period is until September 30. Season 2 is planned to be produced as a total of 16 episodes.
‘Marriage Lyrics and Divorce Music Season 2,’ which first aired on the 12th, marks the return of writer Lim Seonghan after six years, who penned works such as ‘See and See Again,’ ‘Oh My Heaven,’ and ‘Mermaid Lady.’ Last year’s ‘Marriage Lyrics and Divorce Music Season 1’ candidly portrayed the dilemmas of marriage, divorce, and love among couples in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, earning much empathy from viewers.
Following ‘Marriage Lyrics and Divorce Music Season 1,’ ‘Penthouse Seasons 2 and 3,’ and ‘OK Kwang Sisters,’ ‘Marriage Lyrics and Divorce Music Season 2,’ which launched as the fifth lineup this year, will have some of its sales reflected in the second quarter’s performance. Due to the resurgence of COVID-19 last year, Chorokbaem only presented two lineups, but this year it has secured five lineups in the first half and plans to air two additional lineups in the second half.
A Chorokbaem official stated, “Marriage Lyrics and Divorce Music Season 1 achieved nearly 10% viewership ratings, marking the highest performance in TV Chosun drama history,” adding, “Due to the high response and topicality of the subject matter, the project was changed to a seasonal drama production, which was not originally planned.”
