The Uncanny Counter | November 28
- Creative Team: Director Yoo Sun-dong | Writer Yeo Ji-na
- Cast: Cho Byeong-gyu | Yu Jun-sang | Kim Se-jeong
Based on a popular webtoon of the same title, The Uncanny Counter is a satisfying tale of superheroes who, when not hunting down obstinate evil spirits, toil in a noodle shop.
The dynamic story depicts the struggle between the evil spirits who come down to Earth from the afterworld to become immortal and the Counters, each endowed with a special gift such as brute strength, psychometry and healing, who chase them down.
Jo Byung Gyu plays the uncanny So Mun, a Counter unlike any other in history. So Mun is a hero-in-training who musters the courage to combat evil spirits after seeing a friend suffer injustice.
Ga Mo-tak, a Counter with unrivaled brawn, is brought to life by Yu Jun Sang’s characteristic wit and well known acting skills.
Kim Se Jeong plays the role of Do Ha-na, the human radar among the Counters with an infallible record of evil spirit detection. Her character exudes chic and a detached vibe in abundance.
Run On | December 16
- Creative Team: Director Lee Jae-hun | Writer Park Si-hyeon
- Cast: Im Si Wan | Shin Se Kyung | Choi Sooyoung | Kang Tae Oh
Run On is a romantic drama about the intermingling of people who have trouble communicating, even while speaking in the same language. It features people from different backgrounds who nurture relationships using their own language.
Im Si Wan plays the lead role of Ki Seon-gyeom, a sprinter on the national team who is popular enough with the public to sell tickets to unpopular track events. His whole life, he never looked back while running to win, both literally and figuratively, until a fateful event turned his life upside down and forced him to retire.
After leaving the track and meeting Oh Mi-joo, he learns to open his eyes to what he never saw as a runner.
Portraying Oh Mi-joo who constantly has to retrace her steps is Shin Se Kyung. Functioning like a bridge between different languages as a translator, she first became aware of foreign languages at a theater.
While watching a movie she would not have understood without the subtitles, she began noticing errors in the subtitles. When the mistakes became too much to take, she became a translator without hesitation.
She finds herself drawn toward Ki Seon-gyeom, who has put her under a love spell the same way she felt the first time her name appeared in the movie credits.
Choi Soo-young takes on the role of a sports agency CEO Seo Dan-ah, who is the only true heir of the Seomyeong Group by birthright, but on the account of being female, is forced out of the picking order. She vows to regain what is rightfully hers.
Kang Tae-oh transforms into the role of Lee Yeong-hwa, a popular art student who likes movies and croquis drawings. He is charming, with the qualities one finds in sports drinks that are refreshing and revitalizing.
Sweet Home | December 18
- Creative Team: Director Lee Eung-bok | Writer Hong So-ri
- Cast: Song Kang | Lee Jin Wook | Lee Si Young | Lee Do Hyun
Adapted from a popular webtoon of the same name, Sweet Home is a 10-episode VFX/SFX filled thriller. It takes a riveting route based on the unique premise of a world where people turn into monsters that reflect their own individual desires.
After losing his family, reclusive high school student Cha Hyeon Su moves into a new apartment called Green Home, where he faces bizarre and shocking circumstances. He confronts a series of life changing situations that brings him out to the world to save others.
Lovestruck in the City | December 22
- Creative Team: Director Park Shin-woo | Writer Jung Hyun-jung
- Cast: Ji Chang Wook | Kim Ji Won
Billed to be an urban romance drama, it depicts real love stories of young people. The romance plot takes a fast-paced approach in the backdrop of fun and colorful city landscape.
Ji Chang Wook is set to portray Park Jae-won, an honest and passionate architect. He is a hopeless romantic who loves city alleys and enjoys collecting hobbies. Unable to forget a woman who stole his heart and disappeared like a midsummer night’s dream, his love journey begins.
Kim Ji Won, who has built her own color with an unrivaled charm, takes on the role of freelance marketer Lee Eun-oh. She is a person who fell in love with Park Jae-won in a different identity, from an unfamiliar place who left impulsively.
Promising a heart-fluttering saccharine story, Lovestruck in the City is a collaboration of two lauded K-Drama content creators. Director Park Shin Woo and writer Jung Hyun Jung team up for their first digital drama.
Boasting impeccable records with romance drama projects, their combined portfolio features widely-recognized romance series. That includes It’s Okay To Not Be Okay, Encounter, Discovery of Love, Romance is a Bonus Book and I Need Romance drama franchise.
