Park Seo Joon's hit drama 'Itaewon Class' gets Thai remake after Japan, with Sky Wongravee and Nychaa Nuttanicha joining cast

The popular Korean drama Itaewon Class, starring Park Seo Joon and Kim Da Mi, is getting another international remake, this time in Thailand.

After the success of its Japanese adaptation Roppongi Class in 2022, the 2020 JTBC drama is now set to return with a Thai version produced by GMMTV.

According to Thai entertainment outlet Teenee Entertainment on November 4, GMMTV has revealed plans for a Thai adaptation of Itaewon Class, with actors Sky Wongravee and Nychaa Nuttanicha named among the main cast.

A promotional poster featuring the title Itaewon Class Thai Edition was also unveiled alongside an official introduction video from GMMTV.

The announcement has sparked curiosity about how the Thai remake will recreate the characters originally played by Park Seo Joon and Kim Da Mi.

Based on a popular webtoon, Itaewon Class first aired on JTBC in 2020. The drama follows Park Sae Ro Yi, a determined young man who opens a small restaurant in Itaewon and works toward building a successful business while facing powerful rivals.

Park Seo Joon played Park Sae Ro Yi, while Kim Da Mi portrayed Jo Yi Seo. The series became a major hit, ending with a nationwide rating of 16.548% for its final episode, according to Nielsen Korea.

Its popularity later led to the Japanese remake Roppongi Class, which premiered in 2022 with Ryoma Takeuchi in the leading role. The adaptation moved the story from Seoul's Itaewon neighborhood to Tokyo's Roppongi district.

Now, attention is turning to how GMMTV will bring the familiar story of ambition, friendship, and business rivalry into a Thai setting.

The Thai adaptation's announcement has also raised questions about which actors will take on the characters made famous by Park Seo Joon and Kim Da Mi, and how the original story will be adapted to reflect Thai culture.

While Sky Wongravee and Nychaa Nuttanicha have been named as leading cast members, further details about their specific roles, the full cast, and the premiere date have yet to be provided in the report.

With Itaewon Class already receiving a Japanese remake, its upcoming Thai adaptation marks another step in the Korean drama's international expansion.
