Why Lee Soo Hyuk's K-Drama Show S Line Is Becoming A Global Sensation
Last Updated: Even without support from a major OTT platform, S Line became a hot topic online after the show made history at Cannes. The new K-drama S Line grabbed attention even before its release earlier this month for its bold take on sexual relationships. Imagine your past romances being exposed by glowing red lines above your head. That's the central premise of this intriguing series. Starring Lee Soo-hyuk, Lee Da-hee, and Arin, the drama uses this unique concept to unravel hidden secrets. But when a shocking murder takes place, the story shifts into a gripping mystery. As S Line approaches its final episode this week, fans are hooked and eagerly waiting to see how it all unfolds. S Line Plot: As per My Drama List, S Line 'tells the story of a mysterious red line that appears above people's heads, connecting them to those they've had sexual relations with. Han Ji Uk is a detective who wants to discover the truth about the mysterious red line. Lee Gyu Jin is a quirky high school teacher, and Sin Hyeon Hop is a high school student who has been able to see the red line since birth." Before S Line premiered, director Ahn Joo-young spoke about the creative choices made while turning the webtoon into a drama during the press conference. As per the Korean Herald, he explained, 'When we first encountered the work and began the project, we wondered whether it would be realistically possible to visually depict a world covered in S Lines. So, we decided to retain the universe, but express it in a different way. That led to the idea that only some people could see the S Lines, and that they could be seen through glasses as a medium." 'I thought the original work was ultimately a story about people. It mostly focuses on how people change when the lines appear and others begin to see them. I believed the main theme was how new desires emerge in addition to human nature, so I wanted to reflect those changes through the characters via the S Lines. Based on that, we also created new characters," Ahn Joo-young added. Cannes: Even without support from a major OTT platform, S Line became a hot topic online after the show made history at Cannes. The drama premiered its first two episodes at Canneseries, the Cannes International Series Festival, which provides a platform for top global TV shows. Where to Watch: S Line is not available on Netflix or Amazon Prime, but it can be watched on Wavve in India. However, it might still be limited due to restrictions in some areas.
