I feel like this is a chicken or the egg situation, but the decision is probably a good one. Streaming platform Disney+ has been producing its own K-dramas for two years and also licensing other terrestrial channel K-dramas for streaming in hopes of capitalizing on the expansion. Unfortunately it’s not yielded meaningful returns, i.e. increased subscribers and also retaining subscribers, so the company is reportedly going to stop financing K-dramas going forward. It may still license ones for streaming but the ones it’s produced such as Connect, Casino (Big Bet), and Grid and not garnered the widespread buzz that would help bring new viewers to the platform. Up next for Disney+ is the sci-fi K-drama Moving about a bunch of high school kids with supernatural abilities and the parents that try to protect them.
