Disney+ and Hulu set an October release for the Korean-Japanese romantic-comedy series “Merry Berry Love,” starring Ji Chang-wook and Mio Imada. The show centers on Karin Shirahama, a strawberry farmer, and Lee Yubin, a city resident whose situation changes, as they navigate the pressures and opportunities that come with a rural life on a Japanese island.
The series is developed and produced by CJ ENM, with Disney involved in development and co-production. Nippon TV co-produces the program, reflecting the project’s cross-border production structure between Korea and Japan. Coverage across outlets highlights the same leading cast and the show’s rom-com premise, while descriptions focus on different aspects: some emphasize the platform launch, and others focus more on the story setup and character backgrounds.
Overall, the reporting converges on the same core points: a Korean-Japanese romantic comedy, led by Ji Chang-wook and Imada Mio, with a Japanese island setting, and a planned October premiere on Disney+ alongside Hulu.
