'S Line' has gained worldwide recognition by winning the Best Music Award at the 8th Cannes International Series Festival in Cannes, France.

During the festival's closing ceremony on April 29, the music director of 'S Line', Lee Jun Oh, received the Best Music Award in the long-form competition category. It is the first time in two years that a Korean drama has been honored at this prestigious event since 'Bargain' won the Best Screenplay award in 2023.

Before its official release, 'S Line' had already attracted attention for its daring subject matter and intriguing storyline adapted from a webtoon. The series revolves around a woman who discovers an extraordinary ability to see red strings connecting individuals who have shared intimate relations. Despite tackling the theme of sexuality head-on, the show has been commended for its innovative portrayal of human connections, emotions, and personal choices through intricate storytelling.

Although not yet aired in Korea, 'S Line' has generated high expectations due to its international recognition at a prominent content awards ceremony. The cast includes Lee Soo Hyuk, Lee Da Hee, and Arin from Oh My Girl, with filming reportedly completed between September and November 2023. The release date and viewership ratings are pending confirmation, but there are speculations that it might be available on a global streaming platform.

The accolade received by 'S Line' transcends musical accomplishments, showcasing the bold and expressive direction that Korean dramas are embracing in terms of themes and aesthetics. The judges were particularly impressed by the show's sophisticated mise-en-scène and sound design in handling the delicate topic of sexual relationships with finesse and artistic ingenuity.

Established in 2018 amid the thriving global TV series industry, the Cannes International Series Festival takes place each spring before the Cannes Film Festival, attracting competitive entries from various countries spanning Europe, Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East. It has earned a reputation as the "Cannes of the TV drama world."

With its recent music award win, 'S Line' is poised to make a significant impact internationally, signifying a breakthrough for Korean dramas by shattering stereotypes of being overly sensational or simplistic, and proving their capacity to deliver visually captivating and narrative-driven content on a global scale.
