CJ ENM: narrativas coreanas para el mercado latino

Evento de CJ ENM en Londres

La distribuidora surcoreana CJ ENM continúa la temporada 2026 con presencia confirmada en los mercados Américanos. El catálogo seleccionado para estos eventos busca equilibrar el lanzamiento de nuevas narrativas de suspenso psicológico con la explotación continua de sus IPs más icónicas del género fantástico.

Entre las novedades destaca el título Dear X, catalogado como un romance thriller. La trama sigue la historia de Baek Ah Jin, un personaje descrito como una mujer de apariencia afable que oculta una naturaleza calculadora, capaz de manipular las emociones ajenas para ascender socialmente.

La narrativa se centra en el camino de la protagonista para «escapar del infierno» y alcanzar la cima, dejando tras de sí a diversas víctimas (los «Xs»). Sin embargo, el conflicto se desata cuando, una vez alcanzado su objetivo, las circunstancias de su entorno comienzan a cambiar drásticamente, poniendo a prueba su control sobre la situación.

En el segmento de drama romántico contemporáneo, la compañía presenta Our Universe. La premisa aborda una dinámica familiar compleja: dos cuñados, Hyun-jin y Tae-hyung, quienes inicialmente tienen una mala impresión el uno del otro, se ven obligados a asumir la crianza conjunta de su sobrina Woo-joo (cuyo nombre significa «Universo») tras un accidente que la deja huérfana.

La serie explora la evolución de la relación entre ambos adultos, definidos como imperfectos y opuestos, mientras navegan las dificultades de la co-paternidad no planeada y desarrollan un vínculo afectivo progresivo.

CJ ENM mantiene en su portafolio de ventas activo a Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (conocido globalmente como Goblin), reafirmando la estrategia de monetizar su catálogo histórico (library).

Este drama de fantasía y romance sigue la historia de un ser inmortal («Goblin») que busca poner fin a su vida encontrando a su «novia» humana destinada. La trama entrelaza su existencia moderna con la de un «Reaper» (La Parca), con quien termina compartiendo vivienda por accidente, y Eun-tak, la joven que tiene la capacidad de invocarlo. La serie se sostiene en la tensión entre el deseo del Goblin de proteger a la joven y la misión del Reaper de llevarla consigo.
