Big Mouth is one of Korea's highest rated thrillers, telling the story of a bumbling lawyer who unintentionally gets involved in a murder investigation and ends up falsely accused as a famous con artist. It aired on MBC and Disney+ in 2022 receiving numerous awards, including "Drama of the Year" at the 2022 MBC Acting Awards.

Through this agreement, ASTORY and TVB have established a partnership and plans to sign an official licensing agreement to remake Big Mouth.

TVB has actively sought various opportunities to expand the scope of content production and attract more viewers. They have successfully cooperated with mainland Chinese online video platforms in co-producing dramas through TVB's subsidiary, 77 Atelier. They are preparing to expand their business by remaking globally recognized Korean drama IPs.

In collaboration with 77 Atelier, this new challenge emphasizes TVB's commitment to providing high-quality content and reflects its determination to explore and contribute to the ever-growing entertainment industry.

ASTORY also plans to go beyond the Big Mouth remake and actively explore ways to remake TVB's IPs into K-Dramas, continuing their collaboration with TVB.

Thomas Hui, Chairman of TVB, expressed his excitement: 

"We are delighted to collaborate with leading K-Drama studios like ASTORY and are thrilled to be one step closer to realizing the Big Mouth remake. Welcoming such exceptional IPs, TVB will deliver fresh and diverse content to viewers, catering to various tastes."
