DramaFever Brings Korean Drama Trend to Twitch Weekly, four-day viewing event throughout the month of August to showcase more than two dozen of South Korea's most popular digital dramas
August 1, 2018
SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK - Social video service Twitch today announced DramaFever, part of Warner Bros. Digital Networks, will be showcasing 254 episodes from 26 Asian drama series during the month of August. Specifically, Korean dramas - commonly known as K-dramas - have amassed worldwide popularity for their addictive storylines, emotional cliffhangers, colorful characters, and bingeable short-form format, all of which are unique to the genre. The shows will air every Wednesday through Saturday from August 1st to the 25th starting at 10:00 am PT on Twitch Presents (twitch.tv/twitchpresents).
The featured DramaFever K-dramas cover a range of genres from romantic comedies and melodramas to crime thrillers with the chronological episode blocks featuring either select episodes or full seasons. This includes episodes of Goblin: The Lonely and Great God, Heirs, and My Sassy Girl, to the full series of Boys Over Flowers, Jealousy Incarnate, The Best Hit, Go Ho's Starry Night, Heart Signal, Hospital Ship, Longing Heart, Missing Nine, and Thumping Spike.
Korean dramas have become a cultural phenomenon outside of Asia based on the fresh plots with frequent cliffhangers, and being a window into the country's culture, including its fashion, food, and music, said Jane Weedon, Director of Business Development at Twitch. Because we know crossover appeal exists between fans of K-dramas and some of the popular content on Twitch, like Anime, we are fortunate that DramaFever has so many great K-dramas to share with our community. Making this event even better is that it's the first time new and existing K-drama fans in North America and Latin America get to enjoy this type of programming with the interactive appeal of Twitch chat for a shared real-time experience.
We are thrilled to be working with Twitch to tap into a large, global audience and introduce even more viewers to K-dramas through DramaFever's amazing selection of shows, said Rena Liu, general manager of DramaFever. Twitch Presents is a powerful opportunity for us to ignite one of the most passionate digital communities online today and gain even more fans.
K-dramas are part of a growing list of programmatic TV shows that have aired on Twitch. This includes over a dozen popular series such as Power Rangers, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Doctor Who, and Saturday Night Live, all of which have been embraced by the community and reflect the many interests of gamers.
The DramaFever showcase is available for viewers in the United States, Canada, and Latin America with the broadcast schedule and full list of series and episodes located at Twitch blog.
