South Korea's TV series production houses have turned their eyes to hit Western shows as part of efforts to meet diversified demand of viewers across the world.

Chorokbaem Media, a production company behind big-name TV series like The Penthouse: War In Life (2020) and Memories Of The Alhambra (2018), will produce the Korean edition of Criminal Justice, a popular crime drama on the BBC in 2008, later this year.
