Singapore & Korea Unite for Romance Drama

Mediacorp is collaborating with Blintn on "Collateral Romance," a 12-episode romantic comedy series filmed in both Singapore and South Korea. This project represents Mediacorp's second venture into co-producing Korean dramas, underscoring its commitment to strengthening creative ties with South Korea. The production is backed by the Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore and involves Korea's Bigwave Entertainment.

The creative team boasts Korean talent like director Kang Min-goo and writer Lee Do-yeon, working alongside Singaporean executive producer Leong Lye Lin. Headlining the cast are Kim Myung-soo and Pyo Ye-jin, with Singaporean actress Gladys Bay also joining, making her second Korean production. Bay plays Chu Jini, a character of mixed heritage who joins a dance competition.

The romantic storyline follows the unexpected connection between Lee Jeong-sik, a timber trader, and Na Da-woon, a merchandising director. Their chance encounter in an unfamiliar city sparks a series of events that lead to mutual understanding and romantic feelings. The series is scheduled to premiere in the first half of 2027, aiming to resonate across Asia and beyond.
