Maybe Meant To Be

📱 Webtoon to vertical drama. 💍 Childhood best friends to fake marriage. Webtoon has been turning some of its most popular manhwa into vertical dramas and in today’s episode we’re talking about 'Maybe Meant To Be'. It starts with Gia and Percy, childhood best friends whose families are convinced they need to get married. So Gia comes up with a brilliant plan: why not just marry each other? It’s practical. It gets their parents off their backs. And they definitely, absolutely, positively do not have feelings for each other. Then there’s a honeymoon in Cancun in full wetsuits. Percy drinks chicken smoothies. There’s an accidental kiss involving a toy car. Gia is secretly a romance novelist. There’s a toxic ex, a drunken confession, and eventually an elevator kiss that had us both kicking our feet. And when Percy finally decides he wants to make their fake marriage real, his proposal involves a leg pull, a headstand and a curtsy. So, you know...romance. Molly Anderson brings Gia’s big, expressive energy to the role, while Zachary B. Rist makes Percy impossible not to love as the brilliant, practical, slightly strange childhood best friend and chicken smoothie aficionado. We’re also talking about Webtoon’s growing move into live-action vertical dramas, how 'Maybe Meant To Be' compares with the original manhwa and the not-so Korean-ness of it all.But don't let that rain on your parade. We are actually excited to see more Webtoon stories enter the vertical cinematic universe. Listen now for our full breakdown of 'Maybe Meant To Be'.
