CHINESE streaming platform iQIYI is one of the biggest online video sites in the world. Founded in 2010 by Baidu, one of China’s largest online search engine, iQIYI has the streaming rights to many Asian titles and claims to have more than 500 million active users.
iQIYI started producing original content in 2011. Oh! Master is the latest iQIYI Original and Korean drama that can be viewed on the iQIYI app. The romantic comedy features singer and actress Nana and actors Lee Min-ki and Kang Min-hyuk.
Oh! Master is about the relationship of comedian Oh Joo-in (played by Nana) and Han Bi-soo (played by Lee Min-ki), a critically acclaimed thriller drama writer. The two characters seem to find it difficult to fall in love until they had to live together in the same house. “One of the unique things about Oh! Master is its cohabitation-romance genre. A man and a woman who are complete opposites live together, they grow on each other and draw comfort from each other. The story about the family members is heartwarming to watch,” said Nana on why she thinks the story is unique.
Nana describes Oh Joo-in as a beginner when it comes to romantic love.
“She’s very filial to her mother, they share a special bond. Her cheerfulness and kindheartedness are what we have in common,” said the actress.
Lee Min-ki’s character Han Bi-soo is a man with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. In real life, the actor said he also likes things to be in their proper places. He likes Oh! Master because it tackles not only romantic love.
“The fact that this drama is filled with optimism and warm-heartedness attracted me to take up the role,” he said.
“In the drama, Oh Joo-in expresses love for different people. There is romantic love between a man and a woman. She is also a loving daughter to her mother. I believe that the two different perspectives of love shown by Joo-in will give you the chance to rediscover the warmth of human relations,” said Nana.
Viewers can access Oh! Master for free on iQIYI International’s web site at www.iQ.com or on the platform’s free mobile application that can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play Store. For access to new episodes as they drop, viewers have the option to sign up for weekly Standard VIP subscription at P49, or monthly Standard VIP account at P99 or a Premium VIP account at P249.
NEW LOOK FOR FOODPANDA
A popular on-demand food delivery service, foodpanda now sports a brand-new look as it continues to expand its business verticals beyond food delivery and into quick commerce (q-commerce). The iconic pink panda will still be highly visible, but it gets a fun new treatment that will soon be seen on foodpanda customer’s everyday touchpoints, including the app, web site, the easy-to-spot rider bags and jackets, packaging and the brand’s marketing campaigns and social media pages.
The new color enhancements serve to emphasize the foodpanda culture, which is friendly, caring, smart, and a little bit rebellious—not afraid to change the status quo or take risks. This refreshed identity is part of the foodpanda commitment to continue offering q-commerce based solutions that will bring excitement, ease and convenience to more customers.
The refreshed home screen on the foodpanda app, dubbed the “bento,” now allows users to seamlessly choose the foodpanda service they need while making it easier to explore top restaurants and promotions available in their location.
The brand’s managing director Daniel Marogy said this refreshed look characterizes the super app’s enhanced experiences.
“We want to communicate through design how seamless our services are, where we incorporate many of the delivery needs of our Filipino customers in our convenient app, especially as we are all trying to stay safe and stop the spread of Covid-19. The design direction is meant to bridge the gap between our tech and the real-life experience of millions of customers by offering a more user-friendly look that encourages them to better explore what foodpanda can offer.”
