The Mentalist

I believe top-most in the mind of every Park Sihoo-ssi fan is that burning question.

“When will we get to watch Park Sihoo-ssi’s next drama?”

In fact, recently I got asked this question in various forms even more frequently, after attending Park Sihoo-ssi’s birthday celebration in his hometown Buyeo.

The short answer is “I don’t know”. Our Oppa is so tight lipped, he won’t reveal a thing until he is ready. As he has always said in the past, he is thankful to his fans for their support and will repay them with good works. Please be patient.

So patient we will be to watch our Oppa’s next transformation.

But, what about the already filmed and completed Korean remake of “The Mentalist”. The drama that has been earmarked to air on HBO Max? It has been yoyo-ing Max. Different information and news at different times. Yes, go. No go. Not yet. Maybe a tie with Korean Wavve? Maybe not.  So till now, we have not seen the light of its day.

What is the latest?  Well, we know of the merger of Warner Bros.  Discovery with HBO they are planning to launch a new streaming platform.  Just days ago, they announced that it will be rolled out under the name “Max”.  Max will be launched on 23 May 2023 in the U.S. and then in Latin America later in the year. The rest of the world will see this new platform in 2024. 

The rumour mill says that Max will be launched in the Asia-Pacific region around mid-2024, and taking into consideration localization time, it is highly likely that the launch will not take place until the end of 2024. 

However, as the Korean remake of “The Mentalist” is ready for release and other original works with Korean content or subjects anticipated in early 2024, there could be a possibility that Max roll out in Korea might be pushed forward.

Well that is the news as of now.  But it has been yoyo-ing Max, so anything can change.  We will believe when we see it!

Hopefully, before that, we will hear good news of our Oppa Park Sihoo-ssi making an announcement of a new project and the start of filming.  We hope!

溜溜中的Max

相信每位施厚君的粉丝的心中有共同，最想问的问题。

“我们什么时候才能观看施厚君的下一部电视剧呢？”

事实上，最近参加了在施厚君在他的家乡扶余举办的生日庆典后，收到了更多同一类的问题。

简短的回答是“我不知道”。 偶吧 Oppa 守口如瓶，没有准备好之前他是不会透露任何消息的。 正如他过去常说的，感谢粉丝们的支持，他会以好的作品回报大家。 请大家耐心的等待。

让我们耐心地等待偶吧 Oppa 的下个转变呗！

那么已经拍摄和制作完的韩国翻拍版的“超感神探”（“超感警探”），指定在 HBO Max 播出的电视剧，又是如何呢？  一直如溜溜球的Max。 在不同的时间，有着不同的信息和新闻。 就快了。 还没有。 延迟了。也许与韩国的 Wavve 合作在他们的平台播出？ 也许不？ 所以直到现在，还没有看到这部剧播出的曙光。

最新的消息是什么？ 我们知道华纳兄弟的Discovery和 HBO 合并了，他们计划推出一个新的流媒体平台。 就在几天前，他们宣布以“Max”的名义推出。 Max 将于 2023 年 5 月 23 日在美国推出，然后在今年晚些时候在拉丁美洲推出。 世界其他地区将在 2024 年可以观看这个新平台。

传言称Max将于2024年年中左右在亚太地区首发，考虑到本地化时间，极有可能要到2024年底才能正式推出。

然而，随着韩国翻拍的“超感神探”（“超感警探”）已经准备好，可以播出了，还有其他具有韩国内容或主题的原创作品预计将于 2024 年初可以播出，Max 在韩国的推出有可能会被提前。

嗯，这是目前的消息。 但它一直如溜溜球似的，所以任何信息都可以改变。 所以，直到我们终于可以观看到时，还未确定噢！

但希望在那之前，偶吧 Oppa 施厚君已经宣布新项目和开拍的好消息。 希望呗！

We first heard that our Oppa Park Sihoo-ssi has taken on a new project during his online “Romantic Date” fan meeting” back in November 2020.  The name was not revealed then, but it was supposed to be a suspense, a thriller.

Later on, we found out he has taken on the role of Jae In 제인, the male lead role in the Korean remake of the successful American crime beat series “The Mentalist. In March 2021 we got the first glimpse of 제인 Jae In through postings on the Instagram. First from others and then finally from Oppa.

But now, coming to almost two years later since he told us of his new thriller, the drama has yet to see the light of the day. Of course rumors and news stories abound, but nothing solid on its release date or broadcaster.

Names have been thrown in the air on the production house, the sponsor funding the money and where it will be aired. – Samhwa Networks, Studio Icon, HBO, HBO Max.

I understand the situation was complicated with many entangled parts that needed unravelling or to solidify. These included strategy, market development and roll outs, competitive strengths, legal and intellectual property rights.  And of course there was the long process of post production after the filming was done.

Now it seemed things are on more solid ground with the conclusion of agreement with one of South Korea’s biggest streaming media Wavve. In fact last week, on 28 July 2022, Wavve made a press announcement of the arrangement with HBO. Starting from August 2022, Wavve will air HBO/HBO Max programs in South Korea. These include a selection of HBO hit series, HBO and HBO Max Original productions of the past as well as new, exclusive content.

Our Oppa’s “The Mentalist” will be one of those planned for the second half of 2022.

So yes, “The Mentalist” Korean remake is imminent! At least in South Korea that is. Maybe also in the 61 territories across Europe, the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean where HBO Max has already been launched. And South East Asia which was in-plan, though yet to be announced.  

So sisters in these territories, there is something to look forward to. “The Mentalist” and our Oppa’s Jae In 제인 is imminent. Coming soon to your territory soon!  

When the day arrives, remember to extend the warmest welcome to our Oppa Park Sihoo-ssi and 제인 Jae In and make this mentalist a huge hit!  Daebak!

“超感神探”: 即将推出

第一次听说偶吧Oppa施厚君接了新作品是在2020年11月，在他的在线“浪漫约会”粉丝见面会上。当时他没有透露作品名字，但说了是一部悬念，惊悚作品。

后来，从韩媒得知他接了韩国翻拍成功的美国抓犯罪者电视剧“超感神探“（”超感警探”）的제인 Jae In，男主的角色。在2021年3月，我们通过Instagram的贴子第一次看到了简제인。首先来自其他人，后来偶吧 Oppa也开始分享了。

但到目前为此，从他第一次告诉我们他的新惊悚作品，已经快两年了，这部电视剧还没有看到曙光。当然，谣言和新闻报道比比皆是，但作品的发布日期或广播电台都没有任何可靠的信息。

制作公司、投资商，以及将在哪里播出都悬而未决 – Samhwa Networks、Studio Icon、HBO、HBO Max。

从不同信息，得知情况很复杂，有许多需要解开或固化的纠缠部分。其中包括战略、市场开发和推广、竞争优势、法律和知识产权等。当然，拍摄完成后还有漫长的后期制作过程。

现在，随着与韩国最大的流媒体之一Wavve 达成了协议，信息似乎有了更坚实的基础。事实上，上周在2022 年 7 月 28 日，Wavve 向媒体宣布了与 HBO 的安排。从 2022 年 8 月开始，Wavve 将在韩国播出 HBO和HBO Max的 节目。其中包括精选的 HBO 热门剧集、HBO 和 HBO Max 过去的原创作品以及全新的独家内容。

偶吧Oppa 的“超感神探“（”超感警探”）是计划中，在 2022 年下半年推出的节目之一。

所以韩国翻拍的“超感神探“（”超感警探”）迫在眉睫！至少在韩国是这样。也可能在欧洲、美国、拉丁美洲和加勒比等， 已经推出 HBO Max的61 个地区。东南亚也在计划中，但尚未公布时间。

所以这些地区的姐妹们，可以期待收看偶吧Oppa的最新作品！ “超感神探“（”超感警探”）和Oppa 的제인 Jae In 即将推出。即将抵达你们的地区！

当这一天到来时，请记得给偶吧Oppa 施厚君和简제인致以最热烈的欢迎，让这位心理学家被大受欢迎！大卖！
