These dramas cover a wide range of genres, catering to different tastes and interests. So, let's dive into what you can expect from these upcoming and currently airing series!
Our first K-Drama will hit the screens by the end of October. Castaway Diva follows the captivating story of Mok Ha, a girl with dreams of becoming a singer. But her life takes an unexpected turn when she goes missing during middle school and ends up stranded on a deserted island for a staggering 15 years. In this upcoming series, you will witness her journey of survival, resilience, and hope.
Park Eunbin takes on the lead role in this music, comedy, and romance-packed drama. The series is produced by tvN and set to premiere exclusively on Netflix.
The show's plot takes a unique twist as it delves into the challenges of returning to modern society after years of solitude. Castaway Diva offers a fresh take on the classic dreams-to-reality storyline, exploring the transformation of a girl who aspires to become a K-pop idol. After her rescue, Seo Mok-Ha (Park Eunbin) strives to reenter the music industry, which has evolved significantly during her absence.
Joining the talented Park Eunbin in this star-studded series are Chae Jonghyeop, Kim Hyojin, Cha Hakyeon, and Kim Joohun. With Park Hyeryun's screenwriting expertise (known for Pinnochio and Start-Up) and direction by Oh Choonghwan (of Hotel del Luna fame), Castaway Diva promises to be a heartwarming and entertaining show you won't want to miss.
To make the waiting for Castaway Diva’s release more bearable, we can dive into an intriguing world of the already released K-Drama Behind Your Touch. This series is a blend of comedy, romance, fantasy, and mystery that is bound to be unlike anything you've seen before.
Intriguingly, the story revolves around Han Jimin, who plays a peculiar veterinarian with a rather very, let’s call it, unique gift. She can see people’s pasts when she touches their behinds. It is an ability that promises to take the series to unexpected places, leading to a series of entertaining hijinks. And in case you thought it couldn't get any more offbeat, there’s also a dash of EXO’s Suho as our heroine’s crush.
As the first episode unfolds, you will find yourself pulled into a world where the most extraordinary things seem to happen. Bong Yeboon (Han Jimin) is a high school student who encounters an unexpected twist in her life after the tragic loss of her mother. With charming and memorable side-characters like Bae Okhee and a cheerful yet disapproving grandpa, this drama takes you on a whirlwind journey spanning fifteen years.
Behind Your Touch also introduces us to Moon Jangyeol, a violent crimes officer recently transferred to the countryside. His goal is to return to Seoul within a month, but life has different plans. A series of events, including a meteor shower and a mysterious bright light, brings Yeboon and Jangyeol together, setting the stage for a thrilling story.
Yeboon’s newfound ability to see memories adds an intriguing twist to the show. From visiting a neighborhood shaman to joining on a unique rite to accepting her fate, her journey is filled with unexpected surprises. Things take an exciting turn when her path crosses with Jangyeol, leading to a hilarious and peculiar interrogation scene.
While Behind Your Touch may raise eyebrows with its premise, it is precisely the kind of unique drama that leaves you wanting more. Dive into this extraordinary world of comedy, romance, and mystery as the story unfolds in unexpected and entertaining ways.
For those who want something more dark, Destined with You is out for streaming, and it's ready to whisk you away into the world of romantic comedy with a dash of dark fantasy. If you are a fan of lighthearted rom-coms with a twist of fate, this series should be on your must-watch list. As you dive into the story, you will discover that it is not just about laughter and love; there's an intriguing twist of destiny that binds the characters.
Jo Boa plays the role of Lee Hongjo, a dedicated civil servant whose life takes an unexpected turn when she becomes entangled with the handsome attorney Kim Rowoon. Their journey unfolds with an element of fate, mystery, and a touch of humor. The series beautifully weaves together the modern-day storyline with a forbidden and possibly tragic Joseon-era romance.
In the first episodes, you will be introduced to a rainy and mysterious world as the story kicks off in a deserted shaman shrine, creating an eerie but captivating atmosphere. As the drama unfolds, you will meet a fascinating cast of characters, including our lead characters, who are destined to cross paths.
Lee Hongjo’s life as a diligent civil servant is a stark contrast to the usual dramas you might expect in the bustling world of K-Drama. But do not be fooled; this is where the magic of fate begins. Alongside her, Jang Shinyu, portrayed by Kim Rowoon, adds a layer of complexity to the story as a charismatic lawyer who has his own quirks.
From invisible hands to eerie occurrences, Destined with You brings together romance and mystery in a unique blend. The drama sets the stage for unexpected twists, making it a delightful journey for viewers who appreciate the thrill of unpredictability.
