The Korean remake of Nippon TV’s scripted drama series Life’s Punchline, produced by Studio Dragon (a subsidiary of CJ ENM), is scheduled to premiere on South Korea’s tvN on November 6, 2026.
The Korean adaptation is directed by Jung Jee Hyun (Twenty-Five Twenty-One, Search: WWW), written by Ahn Areum (Once Again), with Yang Hee-seung (Crash Course in Romance) participating as creator.
The original Japanese series follows three young men in a comedy trio who decide to disband after ten years of chasing stardom. Facing the harsh reality of having no career or savings while their peers move on to marriage and stable jobs, they find themselves in the midst of a “quarter-life crisis.” Their story intertwines with a burnt-out fan and her younger sister, as all five find the courage to restart their lives.
The series stars Kang Hoon (A Time Called You), Cho Hyun-chul (D.P.), and Kim Jeong-jin as the three members of the comedy trio “Asura.”
Happy Anding preserves key character dynamics, including sisters, best friends, a long-term couple, and the special bond between comedians and their fans.
