PRESS RELEASE: SO I MARRIED AN ANTI-FAN - FROM NOVEL TO MANWHA TO K-DRAMA & CHINESE FILM!

Press Release for So I Married an Anti-Fan 
Written by: Sandra Scholes

Based on an original novel by Eunjung Kim, So I Married an Anti-fan became one of the many popular graphic novel/manwha series by Wann and published by NETCOMICS. It is a romance with a rating of 13+ and is the perfect manwha for those who enjoyed Wann's other novel series and there will be many who will be interested in Korean romance manga. It's easy to see why its popularity has increased and with it the desire to make it into a K-Drama and a full-length Chinese movie after being a four volume hit - the unlikely idea of two opposites getting together.

One phone call from a mysterious person asking her if she wants to become the new Prime Minister is the start of a very interesting comic story that raises the topical issues of sexism, racism and corruption.
