The drama 'Casino' is a crime action film about the last game thrown by the legend 'Casino's world after the fall of Cha Moo-sik' and the Korean Desk detective 'Oh Seung-hoon', who persistently tracks him down. It is the first drama series directed by Kang Yoon-sung of the movie 'The Outlaws'Long Live the King', which received attention for its high degree of perfection and immersion when it was released.
In particular, actor Choi Min-sik returned to the drama 26 years after 'Love and Farewell' and played the role of 'Cha Moo-sik', while Son Seok-gu performed enthusiastically as a detective 'Oh Seung-hoon' who confronted him. The tense acting battle between the two actors drew great attention and left a strong impression on the show.
'Casino' is a work that has been well received for its work and popularity. At the time of Disney+'s release, it drew attention by ranking first in the Korean TV category, recording the longest viewing time in Asia, and an initial IMDb rating of 8.4. He also stood out at major domestic and international award ceremonies, including the Blue Dragon Series Award for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, the Seoul Drama Awards Golden Bird Award, and the Baeksang Arts Award for Best Actor.
Through this programming, MBC will present all episodes of Season 1 and 2 sequentially. Season 1 (a total of 8 episodes) will air at 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays for the month of July, aimed at the vacation season. The following 'Season 2' (a total of 8 episodes) will be fixed every Sunday night from August. Unlike OTT, which was released on a season-by-season break, terrestrial broadcasters have a strategy to increase immersion and strengthen viewers' convenience through continuous organization.
MBC previously organized the Disney+ original series 'Moving' during the Christmas season, and introduced it as a fixed program on Sunday nights from January, drawing positive responses from viewers. At that time, 'curation-based strategy organization' was evaluated as an example of realizing the role of public broadcasting in delivering high-quality content to more viewers.
An MBC official said, "(MBC) aims to provide content-oriented audience services. Since the first collaboration with Global OTT, we have actually confirmed that there are still many viewers who have missed the appreciation of the mega-hit works."I want to expand the audience's choice of content through strategic curation that carefully selects proven works."," he added. Then "Of course, the organization of pre-planned self-produced contents such as dramas, entertainment, and liberal arts remains unchanged. In the future, MBC will continue to strengthen its brand identity and competitiveness to become a channel that viewers want to love and watch." he said.
Meanwhile, 'Casino' will be aired while maintaining the rating of viewers aged 19 or older based on the original. However, the core message and completeness of the work will be maintained according to the broadcast deliberation standards, but some expressions will be edited according to the broadcast deliberation standards. MBC will continue to realize a selected curation strategy to ensure access to high-quality content according to personal lifestyles such as TV and OTT and to enjoy content in the style that individuals prefer.
