Disney does seem determined this time, as they have already engaged themselves in South Asian content. They’ve dived deep and managed to create a slate for their 2024 Korean content, but there are more surprises from the house of Disney.
Disney just announced the release date for two of their Korean titles: “Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds” Documentary and “The Impossible Heir.”
Talking about the documentary first, “Hideo Kojima: Connecting Worlds” focuses on Hideo Kojima, a creative mastermind behind several video games. Games like Metal Gear and Death Stranding are his creations, making him an icon in the world of gaming. Disney is quite intelligent to capture this.
The documentary also showcases insights from acclaimed artists like George Miller, Guillermo del Toro, and Grimes. Norman Reedus compared collaborating with Kojima to “stepping into Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory,” as revealed in the trailer.
As per the recent announcement, the “Hideo Kojima Documentary” will be available on Disney+ and Hotstar on February 23rd.
On the other hand, Disney manages to bring another K-drama, and that too at the end of the month. “The Impossible Heir,” starring Lee Jae Wook, Lee Jun Young, and Hong Su Zu, manages to draw the attention of fans.
In the series, Lee Jun Young portrays Kang In Ha, an illegitimate son of a wealthy conglomerate owner, enduring a life of poverty and constant reminders of his outsider status.
Teaming up with his childhood friend Han Tae Oh (played by Lee Jae Wook), they seek revenge and plot to claim what they believe is rightfully theirs, while Su Zu’s character, Na Hye Won, joins their quest for justice against the conglomerate that wronged her family.
If the plot interests you, Disney will be streaming “The Impossible Heir” from February 28th, and for now, Disney thinks it’s enough to fulfill your K-drama hunger as they will focus on their slate for now
