After entering the new millennium at this moment, Korean dramas had began airing in the Philippines since 2003, starting with GMA Network as the very first network to air Koreanovelas starting with Bright Girl; followed by ABS-CBN as the competitor for airing Korean dramas; as well as TV5 and other Free TV networks which they also worked to broadcast Korean dramas through the Philippine Television. Koreanovelas are being more popular to many Filipino televiewers as of today, and it even serves as an "anti-Anime" and "anti-Teleserye" program. Koreanovelas are automatically referred to as "Asianovelas", as Asian dramas airing in the Philippines are not focused on Taiwanese and Chinese dramas and excludes Japanese dramas.
South Korean dramas are one of the greatest interests for airing foreign programs in the Philippines on its 21st century, which had already aired more than 100 Koreanovelas as of the end of 2014. Because of this, all the Filipino-dubbed programs for Japanese Anime series and Spanish-language Telenovelas are permanently banned on Philippine Free TV in the 2010s.
Most media broadcasters in the Philippines airing Korean dramas are ABS-CBN (with its former sister channel, Studio 23), GMA Network (with its former sister channel QTV), TV5, as well as minor TV networks Net 25 and PTV and among others. Furthermore, airing Koreanovelas in the Philippines are on-going the process of localization, which consists the process of program re-dubbing, pre-editing, post-editing and finalization of the re-production process which had been going on-air at the specific date.
History
Korean dramas began to be popular in the Philippines in 2003, with shows such as Bright Girl, Autumn in My Heart, Lovers in Paris and My Girl.
One of taking popular of this is gathering importing Korean dramas on South Korea. The most popular on them are the media broadcasters of KBS, MBC and SBS, as well as other cable/paid networks such as JTBC, TVN and more. Airing Koreanovelas in Philippine free television are being used as an "anti-Teleserye" or an "anti-Anime" program; either for postponing, cancelling or removing an Anime or Teleserye series, or to air many Movie blocks and Sports programming and coverages to gain high ratings and make money for acquiring Korean dramas.
Popularity
Asian dramas have become hits in the 2000s, excluding Japanese dramas. The huge demand from viewers for Asianovelas has prompted Philippine TV stations to import only Korean and Taiwanese dramas. Top Korean drama series Lovers in Paris, Full House, My Name is Kim Sam Soon, Stairway to Heaven and Coffee Prince were imported and dubbed in Filipino, instantly becoming hits. The success of Jewel in the Palace in Korea was also replicated in the Philippines and many other Asian countries.
The Taiwanese drama Meteor Garden was also a ratings success when it first aired in 2003. Its remake, the Korean Boys Over Flowers starring Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Bum, Kim Joon, Kim So Eun and Koo Hye Sun, also succeeded in capturing audiences. It was aired in the Philippines on ABS-CBN from May to August 2009 and became a phenomenal success.
ABS-CBN Vice President for Program Acquisition said: "It is the phenomenal hit for idol dramas this year with its ratings peaking at 33 percent in the metropolitan area here. It was the No. 5 program overall nationwide following the primetime dramas and newscast, and No. 1 in its timeslot. Filipinos love drama and stories that we can relate to. Most of the time, the Korean dramas are quite escapist and moving. Aside from the touching plotlines, the production is really a visual experience of places that most of us are not accustomed to seeing. Koreanovelas give viewers a different style of storytelling from usual Filipino soap operas, or teleseryes. There is clear character definition and the stories are expansive both in the physical and emotional sense. Koreanovelas are a perfect complement to our Filipino soaps and viewers find them refreshing."
Joey Abacan, GMA Network Vice President for Program Management, says Filipinos love Koreanovelas because they can relate to the stories: "Filipinos love drama and stories that we can relate to. Most of the time, the Korean dramas are quite escapist and moving. Aside from the touching plotlines, the production is really a visual experience of places that most of us are not accustomed to seeing. The Filipinos' taste becomes very discriminating, so we tend to ask for more of this novel experience."
In TV5, the third largest network in the country, Asianovelas are one of the true reasons of permanent cancellation of the network's defunct hit Japanese Anime block, "AniMEGA". The popular primetime Anime block was replaced by Korean dramas Hero and My Wife is a Superwoman and the Taiwanese drama Easy Fortune Happy Life, together with the Israeli drama Split and the primetime variety show Willing Willie.[1][2] However, a TV5 representative said that instead of putting all their own Korean dramas in primetime, they've decided to move it on noontime: "It's actually the strategy of TV5 to do counter-programming. When everyone else is going high-energy with noontime shows, here we are offering the best titles of Koreanovelas on noontime. It's like it will be our primetime. We want to provide an alternative."[3]
As of 2014, the Philippine government channel PTV had began airing Korean dramas, starting with Oh Ja Ryong is Coming.
Top Philippine Free TV stations ABS-CBN and GMA Network are leading the way in importing fresh Koreanovelas, with all the Anime and Cartoon shows are garbage.
In the past years, GMA has aired a score of dramas, including Full House, All About Eve, My Name is Kim Sam Soon, Stairway to Heaven, Jewel in the Palace, Autumn in My Heart, Winter Sonata, Shining Inheritance, Temptation of Wife, East of Eden, Queen Seon Deok, Master's Sun, Queen In-hyun's Man, The Princess' Man, Dong Yi, Empress Ki and My Love from the Star, among others.
ABS-CBN, for its part, has aired a number of Koreanovelas, including Marrying a Millionaire, 101st Proposal, Green Rose, Boys Over Flowers, Lovers in Paris, He's Beautiful, Heartstings, City Hunter, Memories of Bali, Rooftop Prince, Missing You, Princess Hours, My Girlfriend is a Gumiho, Dream High, My Girl, Fated to Love You, My Lovely Girl When a Man Falls in Love, That Winter, The Wind Blows and The Heirs, among others.[4]
While TV5 has aired Don't Cry My Love, First Wives' Club, Hero, High Kick!, High Kick: Through the Roof, High Kick: Revenge of the Short Legged, Likeable or Not, Oh Soo Jung vs Karl, Pink Lipstick, Runaway, Smile, Honey and You Are My Destiny.
