Triangle and Stratos Television has launched its upcoming Korean drama series Jewel in the Palace. The series will be the first long-form drama screened in NZ in a language that’s not English. The show will be subtitled because Triangle Stratos “didn’t want to interfere with the integrity of the programme”, according to CEO Jim Blackman.
‘Long-form’ is possibly an understatement for a series that runs 54 x 60 minutes. Even screening ‘Coro-style’ twice weekly it will run until May next year.
