Collaborating with Chinese streaming platform iQiyi, GoQuest Media has secured the rights for Vietnam to the epic drama series Tang Dynasty Tour (36 x 45’).

Furthering its arrival into the Asian drama space, GoQuest Media has also acquired content through its Vietnam office, headed by Harshad Wadadekar, general manager – distribution business. These include the rights for Vietnam to series such as Blind Date which is the Chinese remake of Dori Media’s hit romantic scripted comedy Ciega A Citas, An Oriental Odyssey, The Lost Swordship, Mr Swimmer, Legend of S. Fire Walker from Media Culture, Hongkong, The Masked Lover, Behind Your Smile, Swimming Battle, Home Sweet Home, Between from nationwide cable TV network Sanlih E-Television, Taiwan and A Billion Love Game, and Chaoweha from Thailand’s True4U.

Commenting on the acquisitions, GoQuest Media MD Vivek Lath said: “It is a privilege to be offering viewers in Vietnam great content homegrown in Asia and providing the ever-challenging TV market with good quality programming. There is huge potential for Asian content and we strongly believe that shows such as these will be well received.”
