This 2022, Viu is set to premiere the most anticipated Viu Original Series, K-LOVE
A Filipino series made for Korean drama fans by critically-acclaimed filmmakers in Hollywood. K-LOVE pays homage to the love Filipinos have for K-drama. It mirrors the story of K-lover friends, or the K-squad, and how K-drama inspires them to live vicariously in search of their happy endings. It is a story that will surely resonate through the hearts of all the K-drama fans out there as each character’s persona slowly unfolds throughout the series.
K-LOVE’s characters will be brought to life by a powerhouse cast of this generation’s hottest stars. Meet Tish (played by Iza Calzado), the driven woman who strives hard in every career pursuit that she has, but needs a little help in the love department. Tish’s BFF is Shiela (played by Isabelle Daza), a full-time mommy influencer and wife who always pursues perfection. Val (played by Sue Ramirez) is a young Fil-Am fashionista-slash-entrepreneur whose mission is to take on the male-dominated tech world. Frances (played by Gabby Padilla) is the girl who holds such high standards for guys aiming for that ultimate “Oppa” she sees in dramas. And lastly, Jay (played by Jake Cuenca) is a dapper son of a wealthy tycoon, and surprise! Tish’s high school sweetheart. What do these characters have in common? K-drama livens up their journeys, fuels their decisions, and kindles their relationships.
Though people may think that K-dramas tend to give a cliché perspective with their highly romanticized tropes, the characters go through the same everyday pains as the K-Squad.
K-LOVE is told by some of the industry’s top storytellers—former Marvel Studios Executive and Gold Clio award-winner Corinna Vistan is the series creator; joined by Hollywood cinematographer Ian Takahashi; best-selling authors Tara Sering and Tweet Sering; former Walt Disney Studios executive Lea Dizon and Katherine Visconti; and seven-time Emmy Awards winning director Bobby Yan.
Follow the K-squad stories from navigating friendships, those swoon-worthy kilig moments, and even their heartbreaks, and stream K-Love, beginning October 14 on Viu.
