Dexter Studios, which has proven its solid production capabilities by producing hit films such as the “Along with the Gods” series, “Mogadishu”, and “Baekdu Mountain,” is reborn as a comprehensive content company by entering the drama production business with tvN’s “Gyeonwoo and the Fairy.”
Dexter Pictures (CEO Kim Dong-hyun), a specialized content production company and subsidiary of Dexter Studios (206560), has confirmed the scheduling of its first produced drama “Gyeonwoo and the Fairy” to air on tvN in the second half of the year.
Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, “Gyeonwoo and the Fairy” (Director: Kim Yong-wan, Writer: Yang Ji-hoon, Producer: Studio Dragon, Dexter Pictures, IO Contents Group) is a youth romance drama that depicts the story of a single high school girl shaman who saves her first love who is full of misfortune.
The meeting of Jo Yi-hyun, who has been recognized for her acting skills in the ‘Hospital Playlist’ series and ‘Wedding Battle’ for her lovable and strong characters, and Choo Young-woo, who has emerged as a hot trend actor through ‘Madame Ok‘s Story’ and ‘Trauma Center’, is garnering much attention.

This work will be the first drama to operate the all-in-one pipeline of Dexter Group, from planning, production, and post-production.
Dexter Pictures is a content production company that was launched in 2022 when the content headquarters within the existing Dexter Studios became a separate corporation as demand for K-content increased worldwide. By strengthening the autonomy and independence of content production, we are promoting planning and production in a wide range of fields, including not only movies but also dramas and short-form content. Starting with “The Cowherd and the Fairy,” which has been confirmed for major broadcasting stations, we plan to continue to discover excellent IPs and solidify our position as a “comprehensive content production company.” Dexter Pictures is currently promoting its production business based on a total of 20 IPs including webtoons and web novels, and plans to sequentially release many works.
