Author Lee Seul-ah's first full-length novel, 'The Age of the Maid' is being produced as a drama.
Highground, a multi-content studio, announced on the 23rd that it recently signed a contract with author Lee Seul-ah to write the original copyright and drama script for the drama production of the feature-length novel 'The Age of the Maiden'.
In the full-length novel 'The Age of the Maid', the main character is 'the maid' who changed the 'father' (father) to 'woman' (女). Like a sitcom, it unfolds the big and small events of a daughter and her family who made a fortune in literature. It is a work that stands out with Isul-ah's interpretation of a female character who is responsible for making a living and turns the world upside down. It became a bestseller right after it was published last October. 'The Age of the Maid' is not the story of a K-eldest daughter that has been commonly encountered, but a unique work that clearly unravels the changing trends of the young generation with the artist's own narration.
In the production of this drama, the original author, Lee Seul-ah, directly participates in the writing of the screenplay and contributes to the dramatic reinterpretation of the original story. Highground plans to review the drama production process with the goal of broadcasting next year.
Writer Seulah Lee said, "The dramatization of 'The Age of the Handmaid' was conceived from the beginning, and I am delighted to be able to work with Highground, which has solid production know-how." It will,” he said.
Jeong Hoe-seok, general manager of Highground's Contents Headquarters, said, “I am very excited to produce a drama with Lee Seul-ah, who is receiving the most attention as a popular writer these days.” It is an original work that reflects the modern era of unraveling the narrative in a fresh way, and we expect it to be a K-drama that all age groups, from the MZ generation to the family, can sympathize with.”
Seulah Lee is a novelist and essayist who has published 12 books so far. He has written 'Mind and Body Training', 'Diligent Love', an interview book 'Clean Respect', and a book review book 'You are waiting to be reborn'. High Ground is a production company that has recently released works such as 'Red Balloon' and 'Sacred Divorce'.
