Cannes: The fantasy thriller "S Line" has been selected to compete in the Cannes International Series Festival (Canneseries), the festival's organizers said Friday. Starring Lee Soo-hyuk, Lee Da-hee, and Arin, the South Korean drama depicts a world where people who have had sexual relationships are connected by a visible red line, which can only be seen by those wearing special glasses.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the series is based on the webtoon of the same name and comprises six episodes. It is set to have its world premiere at the eighth edition of the annual festival in Cannes, which opened Thursday and runs until Tuesday. Canneseries' website describes the series as one that introduces viewers to a supernatural atmosphere, exploring the consequences of losing intimacy and personal privacy.
Established in 2018, Canneseries is an international platform that showcases outstanding TV series from around the globe. The festival features four official sections: Competition, Short Form Competition, Documentary Series Competition, and Out of Competition, along with the Rendez-Vous section.
In addition to "S Line," four other Korean dramas, including MBC's "Doubt" and "Hunter With a Scalpel" by Studio X+U, have been invited to the festival's Rendez-Vous section, where they will be available for free screenings.
