Drama production company “Studio Dragon” announced a list of its drama series that will be released next year. Previews for “Ghost Doctor”, “Twenty-five, Twenty-one”, “Our Blues”, and “Eve” are drawing attention.
Studio Dragon, a drama production company that has produced various popular dramas throughout recent years, has unveiled its lineup for 2022. Studio Dragon mainly produces tvN and OCN dramas and is sometimes in charge of outsourcing terrestrial channels’ dramas.
Since its establishment in 2016, this company has produced popular works such as “Dear My Friends,” “Guardian,” “Mr. Sunshine,” “Hotel Del Luna,” “Crash Landing on You” and “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha.” For this reason, this company has a strong enough fanbase to be nicknamed the “trustworthy and watchable” among drama fans.
However, among the dramas produced in 2021, “L.U.C.A: The Beginning,” “Doom at Your Service,” “Jirisan” and “Melancholia” has become quite a bit of a let-down, recording poor ratings compared to the works’ quality.
Accordingly, Studio Dragon unveiled its lineup in 2022, paying attention to genre diversification and changes in its organization platform.
