CJ ENM amasses consecutive drama hits with achievements on Global streamers

Leading entertainment company CJ ENM’s dramas this year are amassing consecutive hits on global streamers. The K-content powerhouse is exploring different content formulas from classic romantic comedies to raw webtoon adaptations and scoring accomplishments, with its latest romantic comedy My Dearest Nemesis ranking at the top in 101 regions on Rakuten Viki, and also reaching heights on Vidio.

My Dearest Nemesis, produced by Korea's Leading Scripted TV Studio, Studio Dragon, wrapped up with solid achievements on Rakuten Viki, Vidio, and more. The quirky rom-com piece quickly positioned as a fan favorite immediately following its release, sweeping the top spots in 101 regions for 6 consecutive weeks on the global OTT platform Rakuten Viki including the United States, Brazil, Mexico, France, Australia, and India. With the show also marking the biggest Indonesian streamer Vidio’s first time acquiring an exclusive first run from CJ ENM, <My Dearest Nemesis> became the platform’s top-performing K-drama since it launched, reaching the peak of its K-drama category throughout the show’s broadcasting period.

Previously in January, the company signaled a strong start of its 2025 drama lineup with the TVING original <Study Group> produced by Studio Dragon. An adaptation of the original webtoon based on a high school action story, this fresh take was praised for its acting and visual elements that felt like coming right out of a comic book page. The show also led the number of weekly paid subscribers on the No.1 K-content streaming platform TVING since its release and ranked in the top five in 147 regions on Rakuten Viki.

Jaehee Hong, SVP of Content Business at Rakuten Viki, addressed CJ ENM’s achievements on the platform. Having acclaimed <Study Group> as the 'funniest underdog action show you’ll ever watch', Hong recognized <My Dearest Nemesis> for 'deliveringa well-thought-out narrative that resonated globally, adding unexpected twists to what may seem as rom-com clichés'

Also queued up from CJ ENM are the freshly launched TVING original <Way Back Love> and tvN <Second Shot at Love> coming up in May. <Way Back Love> was previously invited to the “On Screen” section of the 2024 Busan International Film Festival for an exclusive premiere, which garnered the audiences’ attention at the festival. The show is the first OTT series produced by CJ ENM’s Film Business Division and is streaming now on TVING in Korea. The highly anticipated is the story of a self-proclaimed rational drinker who reunites with her alcohol-hating first love and takes on a sobriety challenge in this romance, coming to the No.1 K-content channel tvN in May.

Hyoju Jeon, Head of Global Marketing at CJ ENM said, 'CJ ENM is ready to present titles that will undoubtedly captivate global fans’ attention. As a global IP powerhouse, CJ ENM will pursue diverse content portfolios that will provide refreshing and cathartic experiences
 for the viewers'.
