Boosted by the Asiawide popularity of Korean soaps known as "hallyu," a new South Korean drama starring actress Jang Nara has set a sale record for Korean TV series released online in China, local industry sources said Friday.
The online transmission rights for the MBC drama series "Fated to Love You" were recently sold for US$120,000 (120 million won) per episode, three times higher than the $40,000 per episode for "My Love from the Star," which recently reignited a fever for Korean TV series in China.
