March will find several serial killers stalking our screens with the premiere of a number of new dark Korean dramas and thrillers, including a remake of an acclaimed indie film.

A global bestselling book about a Korean immigrant family is also getting the TV treatment.

Here’s this month’s new K-drama line-up.

1. Crazy Love

Last seen three years ago in Her Private Life, Kim Jae-wook returns to screens as Noh Go-jin, Korea’s top maths instructor as well as a handsome and narcissistic company CEO. He is warned one day that he is going to be murdered.

Krystal Jung of K-pop girl group F(x), whose screen career has been heating up and was last seen in Police University, plays Go-jin’s introverted secretary Lee Shin-a, who isn’t noticed by her boss but draws the attention of her colleagues after she survives in the demanding post for over a year. Shin-a also comes to discover that she doesn’t have much time to live. (KBS2, March 7)

2. Kill Heel

Originally due out late February, Kill Heel is now being released in early March. The series will explore ruthless and cutthroat ambition in the world of home shopping.
