<div>Yes, there sure must be very many Shakespeare adaptions in Korea
--<br>
as one would expect, given the unbeatable genius of Shakespeare
and<br>
his great popularity in Korea. In the 1980s, when going to lots
of</div>
<div>Korean plays, I remember to have seen one that was based on Romeo
and</div>
<div>Juliet (but can't help with details now).</div>
<div><br>
Jan, look here, for example:</div>
<div
>http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,21106649-5010940<span
></span>,00.html</div>
<div>about a Korean adaption of A Midsummer Night's Dream.</div>
<div><br></div>

<div><br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>and here:</div>
<div>http://londonkoreanlinks.net/2006/12/04/oh-tae-suk-romeo/</div>
<div>about O T'ae-sôk's seemingly interesting adaption of Romeo and
Juliet -- into a Korean setting, Juliet with Soju and bean
paste.</div>
<div><br></div>

<div><br></div>
<div>You may also look at the (very popular) 2007 MBC series "The
1st Shop of Coffee Prince." Story line reminds of Shakespeare's
"Twelfth Night."</div>
