7 Korean Dramas whose posters were accused of plagiarism, Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young’s movie was also included
There is a movie that plagiarized not one but two posters.
K-Dramas are not only famous for having excellent stories, talented actors but also their creative posters – one of the most important parts of a movie. Most of the time, the producers would invest a considerable amount of money in creating unique posters that can bring out the themes of their movies. However, there existed many films that were accused of plagiarising the poster ideas of other movies.
“What’s wrong with Secretary Kim” was accused of plagiarizing a pictorial from the February issue of Glamour magazines in 2008. The producer of “What’s wrong with Secretary Kim” explained that they did take the pictorial as a reference but only to pay tribute to the original version. However, this explanation did not satisfy the audience.
The poster of “Spy” was once accused of plagiarism. It was said that this drama copied the idea from the classic movie “Leon”. In response, the producer immediately denied the accusation. They replied that they did take the poster of “Leon” as a reference and also got the permission from “Leon”’s producer.
