The Korean entertainment industry is on high alert for Chinese money in K-dramas after the SBS historical drama Joseon Exorcist was cancelled after just two episodes last month.

One of the criticisms levelled at Joseon Exorcist was that Chinese foods – such as mooncakes and Chinese-style dumplings – as well as Chinese-style sets and props were used in the drama, which was set in Korea’s Joseon Kingdom.
