Almost every network, cable channel and streaming service active in South Korea has a new show out in May as the spring K-drama season continues to heat up.

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

1. Bloody Heart

Korea’s latest period drama stars Lee Joon (The Silent Sea) as Lee Tae, a young man whose father overthrew the king and took the throne for himself, with the assistance of Park Gye-won (Jang Hyuk, Voice).

Lee Tae eventually replaces his father, but instead of ruling wisely he is determined to rule with an iron fist. He finds opposition in the counsel of Gye-won, who wields more power as vice-premier.

Also sucked into the power struggle is the noble family of Yoo Jung (Kang Han-na, My Roommate Is a Gumiho), a free-spirited woman who has captured Lee Tae’s heart. (KBS2, May 2)

2. There Is No Goo Pil-Soo

Acclaimed film actor Kwak Do-won (The Wailing) returns to the small screen for the first time in almost a decade in the comedy-drama There Is No Goo Pil-soo, the latest show from Backstreet Rookie writer Son Geun-joo.
