The first installment of the I-WITNESS Asian specials takes viewers to Korea.
Back in 2003, the timeless love story of "Johnny" and "Jenny" from Endless Love had taken the Filipino viewers by storm, introducing them to a new genre of soap operas, called Koreanovelas.
Like a key to Pandora’s Box, Endless Love became a phenomenal hit across Asia, opening Korea to the world.
Less than a decade later, the popularity of Korean Dramas or K-Dramas have expanded to global proportions fueling the "Hallyu" or the love for Korean pop culture.
Winter Sonata, Full House, Jumong, and, recently, Baker King left the Filipino audience love struck with each story, character, and anything Korean. The Koreanovelas with their themes of love, betrayal, and the classic conflict between the rich and the poor truly have universal appeal, steadily drawing fans across the globe.
Thus, the love affair between Pinoys and Korea.
This Monday, I-WITNESS host Sandra Aguinaldo discovers the secrets of “Hallyu” and meets the biggest stars behind unforgettable Koreanovelas.
Get to know Korean superstars like Song Il Gook of Jumong, Kim Joon of Korea’s F-4, and Yu Gin and Joo Won of Baker King. Experience bread-making on the set ofBaker King and take a peek at Jeju Island for its numerous picturesque film locations.
Don’t miss the ride. The ultimate Korean Wave is exclusively in I-WITNESS this Monday, May 9, after Saksi, on GMA-7. -- Text and photo courtesy of GMA Network
