South Korean entertainment company CJ ENM has recently issued a statement saying that the upcoming Chinese drama, “Good Will Society” has nothing to do with their beloved drama series, “Hospital Playlist”.
In a statement released on Weibo on 19 July in both Chinese and Korean, CJ ENM thanked the Chinese audiences for their love of the said title, but that they have nothing to do with the other drama.
“CJ ENM and CJ ENM Studios have not authorised Lize Media to use the copyright and remake rights of ‘Hospital Playlist’, nor have they signed any legal contracts with it. The TV series ‘Hospital Playlist’ has nothing to do with ‘Good Will Society’,” the company stated.
“Hospital Playlist”, which has two seasons, stars Jo Jung-suk, Yoo Yeon-seok, Jung Kyung-ho, Kim Dae-myung, and Jeon Mi-do as five doctors in their 40s who have been friends since medical school, and they work at the Yulje Medical Centre.
Allegations of the new Chinese drama being a Chinese remake spark after it was revealed that the heroine is also a neurosurgeon, similar to Jeon Mi-do’s character.
