Netflix has acquired Maureen Goos’ young adult romance
I Believe In A Thing Called Love for a feature film adaption, with Byung-hun Lee set to star and produce.
The story follows Desi, an overachieving high school senior who decides to use the laws of K-drama romances to land herself a boyfriend. Lee will be playing Desi’s dad.
Yulin Kuang, who previously worked with Netflix on the series
The Healing Powers of Dude, will pen the adaptation.
A-Major Media’s Mary Lee and BH Entertainment’s Charles Pak will produce with Lee. Goo will executive produce.
Said Mary Lee, “Maurene found a way to tap into the fun world of K-dramas through the perspective of a girl who learns that life is something that you can’t control, and Yulin’s voice was perfect for the adaptation.” Goo added: “
I Believe in a Thing Called Love has found a home with Netflix! I’m so proud of my amazing team—Yulin, A-Major, and BH Entertainment—and it’s a thrill to finally share this exciting news.”
