Hong Kong Tourism Board Collaborates with "Crazy About Travel" to Showcase New Charms of Hong Kong
"Fated Encounter" Sweeps Audiences Into the City’s Exotic Backdrops with a Fresh Take on Romance
The romance of Hong Kong comes to life on screen in the newly released short drama "Fated Encounter," starring Gongchan and Kim Sol-ha. Supported by the Hong Kong Tourism Board in partnership with the leading Korean travel community media outlet "Crazy About Travel," the drama introduces audiences to a unique perspective on the vibrant city.
"Fated Encounter" is a refreshing romance led by actors Gongchan and Kim Sol-ha, with directing duties handled by Cha Seo-won. The story unfolds as two young people, each escaping to Hong Kong in a moment of impulse, find themselves entwined by fate through a chance meeting.
What sets "Fated Encounter" apart is that, thanks to a collaboration between the Hong Kong Tourism Board, the brand Le Mouton, and content creator VSS Inc., it marks the first time a Korean travel content channel has produced a short drama set entirely against the backdrop of Hong Kong.
Filming took place in some of Hong Kong's most iconic spots—Kowloon Park, the Mid-Levels Escalator, pedestrian overpasses in the bustling city center, traditional night markets, and aboard the famous Hong Kong trams. The drama immerses viewers in the exotic atmosphere and lively streets that define the city.
According to a spokesperson, the team behind "Fated Encounter" hopes that by embracing content formats familiar to the MZ generation (Millennials and Gen Z), audiences will discover new facets and attractions of Hong Kong's diverse tourism scene.
"Fated Encounter" is available free of charge to all viewers via "Crazy About Travel’s" official Instagram (@yeomi.travel) and YouTube channel (@YEOMI).
