CJ E&M to make Mother in Korea

The original version of Mother

MIPCOM: South Korean cabsat broadcaster CJ E&M has acquired the format rights to Japanese commercial network Nippon TV’s drama series Mother.

The 11×60’ Korean remake will star actor Lee Bo Young and will be directed by Kim Chul Kyu, based on a script from Jeong Seo-Gyeong.

Nippon has previously seen success with three of its scripted formats being remade as Korean dramas: I’m Mita Your Housekeeper, The Pride of the Temp and The Queen’s Classroom.

The deal for Mother marks the first time in almost five years that a Nippon drama will be remade and aired in South Korea. It is also the first time a Nippon drama will be remade by CJ E&M.

Mother will air in Korea in January 2018 on CJ E&M’s general entertainment channel, tvN.
