Order from YESASIA

The script for the television drama "Our Beloved Summer" has been the surprise hit at South Korean bookstores for the first quarter of 2022, leading overall book sales to nearly triple compared to the same time period last year. The "Our Beloved Summer" script is split into two separate volumes, and each has sold around forty thousand copies. But more than its own success, "Our Beloved Summer" has sparked a boom in sales of scripts for other dramas as well.

In third place, after the two volumes of the "Our Beloved Summer" script in first and second, is the first volume of the script for "The King's Affection" which had also been released earlier this year. In fourth place was the script for "Would You Like a Cup of Coffee?" which is based on the web-drama of the same title. The scripts have quickly emerged as items of massive interest to fans who are drawn to the merchandise due to its very direct connection to the media of interest.

However, as is implied by that limited selection, not very many drama scripts are generally published in book form. The relevant companies have thus moved quickly to approve new scripts in book form. "My Mister" will soon have its script published espite the drama itself being nearly four years old. Plans are now underway to publish scripts for "Hellbound" (Order from YESASIA), "The Red Sleeve" (Order from YESASIA), "Thirty Nine" (Order from YESASIA), "Through the Darkness" (Order from YESASIA), "Work Later, Drink Now" (Order Vol.1 from YESASIA, Vol.2 from YESASIA), as well as the film "In Our Prime" this year.
