Well, look what’s on Global KBS Media…
… lots of need-to-know info about Runaway Plan B! (Interesting… when dealing with English-speaking audiences, they call it Fugitive Plan B. Not that we really care at all, not when it comes to hopefully being able to watch the drama.)
As far as we can tell, Global KBS Media works with television stations and producers and such, and provides rights and permissions to get KBS programs on the air around the world. My heavens! We can only hope that, with Runaway Plan B being offered up on a silver platter like this, English-based broadcasters are sending in requests.
Twenty episodes at 1 hour and 10 minutes each.
Wednesday and Thursday nights… that’s roughly eight episodes a month… two and a half month’s worth of Ji-Woo total, through mid-December. Have I got that right? My mind is going 90 miles an hour right now.
Oh, my. *hard swoon*

SYNOPSIS:
“The Fugitive: Plan B” is a story about happenings after a hefty sum of money reappears in 2010, 60 years after it disappeared during the Korean War. Rain takes the part of Gi-woo who gets involved in a mysterious murder case, and Lee Na-young plays the part of Ji-ni. Lee Jeong-jin is cast in the role of Do-soo, an investigator at the Foreign Affair Investigation Department, who chases them.
“The Fugitive: Plan B” is a highly anticipated blockbuster with its cast from Korea, Japan, and China and pursuing [chase ^@@^] scenes which will take place in various Asian cities. It is a romantic comedy action different from any other TV drama.
Gi-woo (mid or late twenties, a detective):
As the self-claimed best detective in the world, he can speak perfect dialect of any city in the world and is “a moving search engine” who knows about the culture and custom of the city. Several years ago, an Asian couple was found dead at a casino in Las Vegas, and he received a hefty sum of money from the casino after he found out [through detective work ^@@^] that they killed themselves. After that, he becomes a star among private detectives. The case gives him the fame of a capable detective, but he meets Ji-ni and gets involved in a tremendous case because of that.Ji-ni (mid or late twenties, a leader of the TF Team under the prime minister):
She becomes to doubt about a series of incidents happened in her family since she learned that she was adopted after her parents died in an accident. One day, her foster parents are found dead at a casino in Las Vegas, and she becomes more suspicious about the incidents and finds out all the incidents are related to gold bars which disappeared during the Korean War.
After a few years, she goes to Gi-woo, who concluded her foster parents’ death as suicide, and requests to find someone named Melgidec. While hiding the truth from Gi-woo, she gets closer to the true nature of the incident, and at the same time she feels that she is gradually fascinated by Gi-Woo.There were people who pocketed the gold bars during the Korean War, and Ji-ni’s grandfather tried to expose their true colors. Also, there were other people who tried to bury the truth using Melgidec.
Gi-ni almost became their last victim, and the detective, Gi-woo got involved in a tremendous case without knowing anything. Now their last battle unfolds!

Oh no, that English synopsis is the pits! Aw KBS…please hire a native English speaker to rewrite it!!! American broadcasters are going to spend, what, 30 to 60 seconds skimming that synopsis, and if they don’t immediately get what the plot is about, it’s a slim chance we’ll ever get it on any network over here. Shoot. In the meantime, I hope they just sub it and air it really soon online.

Lotus,
Stephe is correct. This KBS Global site is a connect point for the Media, a place from which networks can “purchase” the series for broadcasting.
I’m sure that KBS America will air this in the States, as they recently aired Bread, Love and Dreams (with English subtitles no less), which Runaway is supposed to “replace.”
Now, if we could just get someone to write a synopsis that makes sense in English, I would be a really happy camper.

As far as we can tell, this is a contact point for the networks, not for viewers (in other words, looks like we as consumers can’t order from here). Someone on another site thought that it was something to do with a DVD release, which is why I looked Global KBS Media up in the first place, but this company doesn’t say anything about selling DVDs to the general public, unless I missed that.
I suppose what we can do is alert our networks and request the show, and give them Global KBS Media’s information. And hope. The TV, satellite, and cable stations all across Asia are already on it, I’m sure. Hopefully KBS America and maybe Dramafever will jump on the bandwagon too!
We’re bound to see Runaway English-subtitled on KBS World anyway, so one way or another I think we’ll be all good.

Sorry Stephe I’m a slow at times, are you saying we need to look to local networks to order it? Or can we also maybe order it on the KBS online?
