Canneseries: Korean Series ‘Pleasant Outcast’ Is Companion to ‘Concrete Utopia’ Hit Film
Korean Series ‘Pleasant Outcast’ which debuts at Canneseries is a companion piece to hit film ‘Concrete Utopia’.
“ Pleasant Outcast,” a 10-part Korean series that is set to appear at Canneseries next month, is a companion piece to “Concrete Utopia,” the hit film from last year that was selected as South Korea’s Oscar contender. Both the Lotte Cultureworks series and “Concrete Utopia,” a dystopian drama-thriller set in a post-apocalyptic Seoul, are adapted from best-selling webtoon “Cheerful Outcast,” by Kim Soong Nyung. “We are excited to participate again in Canneseries with ‘Pleasant Outcast,’ which was based on the same webtoon as our Korean Oscar nominee ‘Concrete Utopia,’ which ranked among the top ten box office films in Korea last year,” said Choi Byung-hwan, CEO of Lotte Cultureworks.
