Production

We Broke Up is a live-action adaption of a popular webtoon bearing the same name. Co-directing the anticipated web-drama is Director Kim Yong-wan, who also co-directed the successful hit "Love Cells" starring former child-actress Kim Yoo-jung, which was recently revived for another season.

The series is jointly planned and produced by YG K-Plus, CJ E&M Digital Studio and Story Plant. On April 22, 2015, the first script reading was held successfully.

The web-drama was released officially under CJ E&M Style Studio, YG Entertainment, and YG K-Plus’ digital platforms all on the same date.

Reception

The 10 episode web-drama was a smashing success. Amassing views of over 16 million, We Broke Up was the 4th most-viewed web-drama of 2015.[4] Kang Seung-yoon was nominated and awarded 'Best Actor' for his role as Ji Won-yeong by K-web Fest. Dara was unable to be nominated for her role as she was already nominated for a previous leading role in another web-drama entitled 'Dr. Ian', for which she won 'Best Actress'.

As thanks for the positive reception, the cast of the show held a personal 'mini concert' on August 17.

The success continued when it was invited to be screened at the 21st Geneva International Film Festival, becoming the first of its kind to do so. The series was screened on November 7. [5]
