JAKARTA - The Korean drama SKY Castle will be remake in Japanese domain format by TVmen. This remake is a collaboration between the SLL production house from South Korea and TV layoffs last May.

Filming for this drama will begin in July. This drama will star Matsushita Nao, Kimura Fumino, Higa Manami, Takahashi Merijun. Meanwhile, the coordinator of the university is Koyuki.

SKY Castle is a Korean drama that tells of four couples in SKY Castle's elite housing consisting of professors and doctors. The couple's entire wives hope their children can enter a prestigious university to raise their family degrees.

The conflict began after the child of one of the couple was accepted as a medical student at Seoul National University until the incident occurred. On the other hand, the family has just joined the housing while he is required to compete with other families at SKY Castle.

The Korean drama has 20 episodes and airs at the end of 2018. The drama received a rating of up to 23% and became one of the highest-rated titles on South Korean television broadcasts.

The Japanese drama produced will focus on high school exams that look more difficult than the university exam process. The plot regarding university tests is also still presented but has different appearances.

"We are very pleased to announce the news of the collaboration between partners and TV stragglers. Starting with the SKY Castle remake, we will plan, build and produce other competitive titles in the global market," said SLL CEO Park Jun Seo quoting Variety.
