In 2009, when Olivia Rox was 10 years old, her parents didn’t want her watching some shows on television. And so, her mother wrote and directed a 90-minute movie titled “Olivia Rox: The Movie”. Olivia Rox played the part of “Olivia Roxamillion,” a kid’s version of Nancy Drew who tries to solve the mystery of the missing puppies. Her father played the part of a scientist/inventor.

(By the way, Olivia Rox’s real first name is only “Olivia,” but because of the movie, people started calling her “Olivia Rox.”)

2. Janggeum’s Dream (animation)

From Wikipedia:

The show is a spinoff from MBC's mega-hit historical drama “A Jewel in the Palace” (aka “Dae Jang Geum”). “A Jewel in the Palace” was first aired in Korea more than 10 years ago and has been broadcast in 96 countries. It’s a huge commercial success, having earned more than US $100 million. Its lead star Lee Young-ae has since then become Korea’s most-loved actress and an ambassador of goodwill.

“Janggeum’s Dream” is a production by Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation. The animation was done by Sonokong and Heewon Entertainment. The animation centers on Jang Geum who enters the Royal Kitchen as an apprentice court lady. The animation program has been sold to Tooniverse, resulting in the broadcast of a second series in 2007.
