While the hit series ‘Unbreak My Heart’ is still ongoing, rumors of another collaboration between ABS-CBN, GMA Network, and Viu are making waves in the entertainment scene.
It’s undeniable that ‘Unbreak My Heart’ has been a success, maintaining consistently high ratings and garnering positive feedback from viewers despite its heavy drama storyline. Starting with a 6.9% viewership rating on its pilot episode, it has outperformed previous shows in its timeslot.
Given the series’ success and audience reception, it’s not surprising that the three media giants are considering another collaboration. The buzz is that their next adaptation could be ‘The Penthouse.’
‘The Penthouse’ is a highly successful Korean drama series. It gained immense popularity in 2020 and 2021, ranking among the top Korean television series in terms of viewership. The series received numerous awards, including the Grand Prize (Daesang) at the 2021 SBS Drama Awards, and its cast members were also recognized for their performances.
‘The Penthouse’ falls under the makjang drama genre, known for its over-the-top plots, complex characters, and shocking twists. It has received acclaim for its suspenseful storytelling, strong performances, and high production values. While it has courted controversy, the series has also contributed to the global popularity of Korean dramas.
As discussions about a possible adaptation of ‘The Penthouse’ begin, viewers have already started suggesting actors for the main roles. Ultimately, casting decisions will depend on the networks and actors’ availability and willingness to take on the roles.
