Script playback

Check out all the K-drama script readings—that moment known as «script reading» in the world of Korean dramas.

Before filming begins, or in the first few days, the actors, director, and screenwriter gather around a table to read through the script for the first few episodes together. This is often the first time the entire cast is together. TV networks and streaming platforms then release photos and videos to give viewers a glimpse of the chemistry between the actors.

A budding chemistry, a line that makes the whole audience laugh, an actor who’s already fully immersed in his character: these sessions offer a valuable first glimpse into the chemistry of a drama. We break them down for you, series by series.
