The figure is much higher than the latest KBS2 mega hit series “Descendants of the Sun,” which aired from February to April, and was sold for $250,000 per episode.
Considering the new drama, featuring singer IU and actor Lee Joon-gi, is made up of 20 episodes, a profit of around $8,000,000 is expected for the entire series.
“It is true that [each episode] has been sold for more than $400,000,” said a source affiliated with the series.
The new drama, which will air on Aug. 29, is a remake of 2011 Chinese mega-hit drama “Scarlet Heart.”
