Manga-Based Dramas Are Not Always A Formula For Success

Some of the most successful dramas have been based on mangas. "Boys Over Flowers," starring Lee Min Ho and Kim Hyun Joong is probably the best example as it got good ratings and achieved international fame. The drama about four spoiled rich boys who rule a school is based on the manga "Hana Yori Dango. "

"City Hunter," which also starred Lee Min Ho, was based on the Japanese manga by Tsukasa Hojo and had Nielsen ratings of almost 20 percent nationwide.

But a popular manga storyline is no guarantee that a k-drama will succeed even if that manga has previously been successfully adapted in other countries.
