Coming Up: September 2024 Korean Dramas
Seoul Busters | Sept 11 | Disney+
- Streaming Site: Disney+
This police dramedy follows a team of underperforming homicide detectives who are in for a rude awakening. Starring Kim Dong Wook, Park Ji Hwan, and more, the series promises a lot of laughs as the Songwon Homicide Division faces big changes.
For years, the Songwon Homicide Division has consistently ranked among the worst performers in the Korean police force. Composed of a group of misfit officers, the team is about to be shaken up with the arrival of a new captain. Known for his excellence, the new captain aims to turn the division around in this entertaining series.
Seoul Busters features Kim Dong Wook (My Perfect Stranger, Delightfully Deceitful) as the ambitious police captain Dongbang Yubin; Park Ji Hwan (Our Blues, The Roundup) as former boxing champion turned homicide officer Moo Joong-hyeok; Seo Hyun Woo (A Shop For Killers, My Mister) as the thrifty officer Jung Junghwan; Park Se Wan (Doona!, Just Dance) as the laid-back cop Seo Minseo; and Lee Seung Woo (Vigilante, Our Beloved Summer) as the scruffy detective Jang Tansik.
The Judge From Hell | Sept 21 | SBS
- Streaming Site: Disney+
Armed with a supernatural edge, The Judge From Hell, a 14-episode series follows a judge possessed by a demon sent to Earth on a sinister mission.
In The Judge From Hell, a demon is tasked with bringing souls back to hell and chooses to possess Bitna (Park Shin Hye), a local judge notorious for her lenient sentencing. Unbeknownst to the public, Bitna’s controversial rulings are driven by her demonic mission to drag ten criminals back to the underworld.
However, the plot thickens when Bitna begins to develop feelings for Daon, a detective played by Kim Jae Young. As Bitna wrestles with her growing emotions, the series poses a tantalizing question: Will the demon complete its mission, or will love alter its course?
Dear Hyeri | Sept 23 | ENA
The show introduces viewers to a pair of former partners who, despite their shared history, can’t even make eye contact without tension flaring up.
This “happy regeneration romance” explores the emotional healing of Eun-ho, a long-time announcer who unexpectedly develops a new personality, and her former boyfriend Hyeon-o, a man who remains a significant part of her life despite their breakup. The series promises to deliver a nuanced and heartfelt romance under the expert direction of Jung Ji-hyun, a director renowned for her work on acclaimed dramas like Twenty-Five Twenty-One, You Are My Spring, and Search: WWW. Complementing her direction is writer Han Ga-ram, whose previous work on When the Weather Is Fine has established her as a master of emotional storytelling.
Shin Hye Sun takes on the role of Joo Eun-ho, an announcer who has spent 14 years in the industry but remains largely unnoticed and unappreciated. Her character is a study in quiet resilience, having endured years of professional obscurity.
Opposite her, Lee Jin Wook portrays Jung Hyun-oh, the undisputed star of the announcer department—charismatic, likable, and highly respected. The two characters have a history that spans eight years of dating, but now, they find themselves on opposite sides, seemingly transformed from lovers to adversaries. However, their interactions hint at something more complicated than simple animosity. Despite their outward hostility, their lingering glances and subtle body language suggest unresolved feelings that keep them tethered to each other.
What Comes After Love | Sept 27 | Coupang Play
Directed by Moon Hyun-sung, What Comes After Love features a stellar cast, including Lee Se Young, Kentaro Sakaguchi, Hong Jong Hyun, and Anne Nakamura.
The series is a deeply emotional exploration of love and its aftermath, focusing on the intertwined fates of ‘Hong,’ a woman who has forgotten everything after a fateful romance, and ‘Jung-o,’ a man who remains haunted by regrets from their past.
Set to debut on Coupang Play on Friday, September 27, at 8 PM, What Comes After Love is already drawing attention for its evocative storytelling and compelling performances, with the character posters offering just a taste of the emotional depth and resonance that viewers can expect.
Gyeongseong Creature 2 | Sept 27 | Netflix
Following the gripping conclusion of Season 1, Gyeongseong Creature returns for a second season, transporting viewers from the harrowing streets of 1945 Gyeongseong to the bustling metropolis of modern-day Seoul.
The series, which originally captivated audiences with its intense portrayal of love and survival amidst the chaos of 1945 Gyeongseong, now shifts its setting to the bustling metropolis of Seoul in 2024.
This season promises to delve deeper into the complex web of fate, exploring how the consequences of past actions continue to resonate across time. The narrative now centers on Ho-jae, a man whose striking resemblance to Tae-sang—the formidable owner of Gyeongseong’s largest pawnshop—raises haunting questions, and Chae-ok, a resilient survivor of the Gyeongseong tragedy, who must navigate the unfamiliar world of modern Seoul.
The newly released character posters reveal a fascinating transformation of familiar faces, transitioning from the war-torn streets of 1945 Gyeongseong to the modern-day landscape of Seoul. Ho-jae, portrayed by Park Seo Jun, is a figure shrouded in mystery, with his eerie likeness to Tae-sang sparking intrigue. What secrets does Ho-jae harbor, and why does he bear such an uncanny resemblance to the powerful figure from the past?
Chae-ok, played by Han So Hee, appears to have fully acclimated to life in Seoul, yet her past continues to cast a long shadow. After consuming Najin in the dramatic finale of Season 1, viewers are left wondering how she survived, what has transpired in the years since, and how her past will influence her present.
