Disney+ has announced the release date for the highly anticipated rom-com series, 'Merry Berry Love', a Japan-set Korean romantic comedy starring Ji Chang-wook and Mio Imada. This co-production between Korea and Japan is a significant move for Disney+, as it aims to appeal to both markets with a bilingual approach. The series, directed by Kim Soojung and Roh Youngsub, and written by Lee Jaeyoon, is a rare example of a Japanese-Korean television co-production, with CJ ENM, Disney, and Nippon TV behind its development and production. The logline promises a heartwarming story of a hardworking strawberry farmer and a down-on-his-luck city boy, with an unexpected twist that leads to a lot of hilarious and romantic moments. The show's release on October 7th is a strategic move for Disney+, as it continues to lean heavily on Korean drama to grow its Asia business, while also maintaining its strong brand loyalty in Japan. With its unique blend of Korean and Japanese talent, 'Merry Berry Love' is set to be a hit, offering a fresh and engaging take on the romantic comedy genre.
