Seven

Seven Friends & Seven Stories (: 일곱 친구와 일곱 이야기; : 七個朋友和七個故事) often abbreviated as Seven is an ongoing Namjuan created by Kwok Taeyang for Junggyeong Commonwealth Broadcasting. The series follows the life of Pak Jiyeon, an unintelligent and unattractive - but determined - country girl at Geumsam Polytechnic University, as she and her six housemates navigate the struggles of navigating life in Namju's largest and most cosmopolitan city in the early 2000s. As a, Jiyeon, her housemates, and her newborn infant are watching a camcorder recording of these precious years, though the identity of her husband is left intentionally vague.

The plot of the show is loosely based on the shared experiences of writer Seo Yoon-Jin, producer Kwok Taeyang, and director Mangwende Hei-Ran; Seo and Mangwende both were international students at the University of Junggyeong while Kwok was from a rural community. The trio drew from their experiences and consulted sociologists to write the pilot. The majority of episodes have been directed by Mangwende. The writers incorporated historical events into the story, including the 2007 Recession and Scueria-Övlanda War.

Known for its seemingly seamless balance of political commentary, witty humor, and appeal to youthful innocence, the show quickly topped ratings in Namju and has been exported to other Sinju countries through online. The first season opened to mixed reviews and did not receive much marketing; however, as the season went on, it grew in popularity due to word of mouth and had topped the ratings by the end of season. The series first aired on November 8th, 2018, and has been renewed for another five seasons. It is currently on its third season.
