With broadcasting schedules already stuffed with ongoing Korean drama series, we have to wait until mid-July for new series to launch. But they are worth the wait – the month has some classic drama offerings, and sees the long-awaited return of one of the small screen’s biggest stars.
1. To X Who Doesn’t Love Me
Relative newcomer Han Ji-hyo will lead her first series as Seo Hee-soo, the main protagonist of the upcoming TVing series To X Who Doesn’t Love Me.
Seo is a university student with low self-esteem who has never been in a relationship before. She dreams of becoming a song lyricist, and one day she happens to find a mysterious notebook that helps her fill up her love life.
2. Remarriage and Desires
The Korean high-society drama gets the Netflix treatment with the eight-part series Remarriage and Desires, which takes a look at Rex, a matchmaking company that services the competitive marriage market for the highest echelons of Korean society.
“Marriage is a business,” someone says in the trailer, and the series will show just how serious a business it is. It will follow several people who become clients at Rex, each for their own motives, including Seo Hye-seung (Tomorrow’s Kim Hee-sun), who seeks revenge, and Lee Hyung-ju (Mine’s Lee Hyun-wook).
Remarriage and Desires is the second show from I’m The Mother, Too writer Lee Geun-young and is directed by Kim Jung-min, who last made Love Affairs in the Afternoon. (Netflix, July 15)
