Gyeongseong Creature
Set in the spring of 1945, Gyeongseong Creature follows individuals going up against monstrous creatures that were born out of human greed. The series is highly anticipated due to the sheer amount of talent tied to it.
Netflix Gears Up For “Gyeongseong Creature” Starring Park Seo Joon and Han Soo Hee
A Time Called You
Time-slip romance A Time Called You stars Ahn Hyo Seop (Business Proposal) and Jeon Yeo Been (Vincenzo) star in this remake of classic Taiwanese romance Someday or One Day.
Jeon’s character travels back in time to 1998 and meets a man played by Ahn, who bears an uncanny resemblance to her late boyfriend. In fact, each lead takes on the challenge of playing two characters who look identical, but have completely different personalities — and all the complications that create when it comes to love.
Doona!
Meanwhile, K-romance meets K-pop in Doona! A college student (Yang Se Jong) navigates life and school while dealing with a unique predicament — he’s living with a former K-Pop sensation, played by real-life former K-Pop star Suzy.
Their relationship starts out as one of mutual misunderstanding and dislike, and grows over time into one of love and trust. But can their connection withstand the cruel pressures of fame?
Song of the Bandits
Starring Kim Nam Gil, Seohyun, Yoo Jae Myung, Lee Hyun Wook and Lee Ho Jung; the series is an action-adventure set in the tumultuous period of Japanese colonial rule over Korea about a group of people who, for various reasons, end up in the lawless land of Gando and become united in protecting Joseon for the Korean people.
Anticipation runs high for the intense drama that will unfold as different groups with their respective motives — including Japanese troops, the Korean Independence Army, hitmen, bandits, and Joseon migrants — face one another in the anarchic land of Gando during the 1920s.
Celebrity
Celebrity is a Netflix series that depicts the true reality of the glamorous and competitive life of celebrities encountered by Seo A-ri, who jumps into their world where fame will bring riches.
The series is directed by Kim Cheol Kyu, who was nominated at the official competition of the first Cannes International Series Festival for Mother.
Rising star Park Gyu Young from the Netflix series Sweet Home, The Devil Judge and Dali and the Cocky Prince plays Seo A-ri, who becomes a celebrity overnight with her bold moves that set her apart from all the other influencers.
Through the story of A-ri, who threw herself into the life of a celebrity where the number of followers equals her competitive edge and the whirlwind of events that she brings those around her into, Celebrity will have viewers sending their “likes” for the series non-stop.
Behind Your Touch
Comedy meets suspense with a dash of romance in Behind Your Touch.
Rom-com queen Han Ji Min plays a veterinarian in a small town who has a very strange gift of psychometry. When she convinces a detective portrayed by Lee Min Ki of her abilities, they team up to solve neighborhood crimes.
Daily Dose of Sunshine
Daily Dose of Sunshine is a Netflix series that explores the world inside a psychiatric ward and the stories of people in it, as encountered by Da-eun, who has just become a nurse in the mental health department of a hospital.
Director Lee JQ, creator of the K-zombie sensation All of Us Are Dead, which is the 4th most popular Netflix TV series (non-English) of all time, partnered with Netflix once again in this moving human drama.
Park Bo Young from TV series such as Doom at Your Service, Strong Girl Bong-soon, and Oh My Ghost returns as Jung Da-eun, who experiences personal and professional growth, unfazed by her struggles at work after being transferred from internal medicine to the mental health department and caring deeply about her patients.
Yeon Woo Jin from Thirty-Nine, Marriage Not Dating, and the Matchmaker plays the quirky proctologist Dong Go-yun while Jang Dong Yoon, who has been broadening his spectrum as an actor through his performances in Search, The Tale of Nokdu, Mr. Sunshine, and School 2017 will play Song Yu-chan, Da-eun’s close friend who always bickers with her.
Mask Girl
Mask Girl is a story about Kim Mo-mi, an ordinary office worker by day who is insecure about her appearance and a live-streamer by night who covers up her face with a mask, as she becomes embroiled in an unforeseen incident and undergoes a dramatic turn of events.
The original webtoon of the same title that the series is based on was beloved by many readers for its unpredictable twists, biting messages about lookism, and the effortless cross between a thriller and black comedy.
Actors Go Hyun Jung and Nana play the character Kim Mo-mi on different timelines while Ahn Jae Hong plays Kim Mo-mi’s colleague Ju Oh-nam, who has a crush on her, and Yeom Hye Ran plays Ju Oh-nam’s mother.
Accordingly, this year, the game you love becomes reality in Squid Game: The Challenge.
Here’s your first sneak peek at how the brand-new competition series is coming to life.
Squid Game Season 2
Speaking of everyone’s favorite game, Squid Game announced that stars Lee Jung Jae, Lee Byung Hun, Wi Ha Jun, and Gong Yoo will all be returning for Season 2.
Raising the excitement, the already star-studded cast will be joined by bankable actors Im Si Wan, Kang Ha Neul, Park Sung Hoon and Yang Dong Geun.
