Actor Choi Jin-hyuk and Oh Yeon-seo's Channel A weekend drama Positively Yours is generating notable word-of-mouth both domestically and abroad.
Channel A weekend drama Positively Yours (writer So Hae-won/director Kim Jin-seong/produced by Channel A/produced by Media Group Take Two, Studio PIC) is a reverse-running romantic comedy about a one-night deviation between two people who had vowed there would be no marriage in this life, based on the web novel and webtoon of the same name.
In particular, Positively Yours has been receiving favorable reviews and focused attention overseas. According to global OTT Rakuten Viki, Positively Yours ranked first weekly in North America, Europe, Oceania and Southeast Asia based on viewer numbers in its first week of airing, and proved its global box office power by entering the top five in the Middle East and India. Along with this, it ranked first by viewers in 116 countries including the United States, Brazil, France, the United Arab Emirates, Thailand and the Philippines. Also, according to Japan's online streaming service U-NEXT, Positively Yours ranked first in the Hallyu drama ranking for two consecutive weeks as of the 28th (Wed), continuing its word-of-mouth success.
This is because since its first broadcast on Jan. 17, the reverse-running romance that spreads from a one-night deviation between Doojun (played by Choi Jin-hyuk) and Heewon (played by Oh Yeon-seo), the fate-like connections made by coincidence, and the fast-paced development that leaves no room for boredom have caused viewers to become overly immersed. In addition, the thrilling chemistry between Choi Jin-hyuk and Oh Yeon-seo that stimulates viewers' dopamine and the flavorful acting of distinctive characters maximize the charm of K-romcoms, capturing both word-of-mouth and global topicality. As a result, attention is focused on the future course of Positively Yours, which has established itself as a trusted K-romcom with praise and buzz at home and abroad.
Meanwhile, Channel A weekend drama Positively Yours airs every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 p.m.
