      <description>Lead cast: Kim Go-eun, Kim Jae-won
Latest Nielsen rating: 1.7 per cent
Almost four years after the second season of Yumi’s Cells, Kim Go-eun is back as Kim Yumi for a third helping of the partially animated adaptation of the hit webtoon of the same name, penned by Lee Dong-gun.
In the intervening years, Yumi has risen in the world. No longer an employee of Daehan Noodles, she has realised her dormant passion for writing and has become a celebrated author of romance novels, which she writes in...</description>

Latest Nielsen rating: 9.5 per cent
With all its slow-motion close-ups, high-society razzle-dazzle and swoon-worthy stars, the new romantic vehicle Perfect Crown, starring IU (When Life Gives You Tangerines) and Byeon Woo-seok (Lovely Runner), has all the trappings of a classic Korean drama, an alternative-history fable the kind of which the industry has been routinely producing for 20 years.
On paper, the concept is a winner. Imagine...</description>

Ju Ji-hoon returns to our screens following last year’s hit medical drama The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call, once again playing the smartest man in the room. While his previous role used that intellect to save people, in the new ENA drama Climax, he plays a man who seeks only to serve himself.

Following last year’s Oh My Ghost Clients with Jung Kyung-ho, the worlds of jurisprudence and the supernatural collide once more in Phantom Lawyer, a legal comedy about a lawyer who unwillingly takes on the cases – and occasionally the personalities – of the ghost clients that drift into his practice.

Coming just two weeks after Love Phobia, Boyfriend on Demand is the second K-drama of the year to focus on AI dating.
With Netflix behind it and the star wattage of Blackpink’s Jisoo (Newtopia) and Seo In-guk (Death’s Game) leading the cast, this new show is undoubtedly the bigger production, but it approaches its timely subject matter in a similarly muddled fashion.

Latest Nielsen rating: 2.26 per cent
As 2025 draws to a close, viewers are invited back into a Korean courtroom one last time with Idol I (also styled as I Dol I). This time you can leave your lawbooks behind, since the emphasis is squarely on character melodrama rather than legal procedure.
Choi Soo-young (Second Shot at Love) and Kim Jae-young (The Judge from Hell) team up as a lawyer and a K-pop star, respectively.


Choi – herself a member of the...</description>

Lead cast: Lee Jun-ho, Kim Hye-jun, Kim Byung-chul, Kim Hyang-gi
Netflix Korea closes out a big year with the eight-part series Cashero, a lively but garbled medley of social themes, melodrama and genre spectacle.
Lee Jun-ho (Typhoon Family) leads the cast as the hapless Kang Sang-ung, whose grumpy father foists an unwanted superpower upon him, only too glad to finally be rid of it.


The central conceit of the show, and the webtoon on which it is based, revolves around the unusual...</description>

      <description>Lead cast: Seo Hyun-jin, Yoo Jae-myung, Chang Ryul
Latest Nielsen rating: 1.5 per cent
Loneliness, guilt and desire form the heart of Love Me, a melodrama that begins on a dour note before smoothing over the pain with the promise of new romance.
Although Seo Hyun-jin (The Trunk) gets the most screen time, this is at its core an ensemble piece about six characters: three members of a fractured family and the partners to which they slowly turn to mend their broken hearts.

Yoo Ji-tae (Vigilante) stars as a criminal mastermind known only as “J” in the generic eight-part counterfeiting crime thriller Villains.
Just like the fake “supernotes” crafted by its characters, the show bears most of the elements of the genre, while missing the crucial, hard-to-replicate pieces that define it.
Amid his illicit schemes, J tangos with Jang Jung-hyuk (Kwak Do-won, The Wailing), a corrupt detective, and Cha Gi-tae...</description>

Just a few months after playing a labour rights lawyer in Oh My Ghost Clients, Jung Kyung-ho is back on screens as another jurist taking on human interest cases in the breezy legal drama Pro Bono.
Here, Jung is Kang Da-wit, who starts off the show as a star judge with a massive social media following. He works at the Seoul Central District Court, which he likes to dub his castle.

Kang Tae-oh (The Potato Lab) and Kim Se-jeong (Business Proposal) are bound in a fated love in the new period romantic comedy Moon River.
However, the series’ main hook, as presented in trailers, is a body-swap concept in which the two leads switch places. Bafflingly, Moon River takes its time setting up its board; these early episodes have not even reached that core premise.


Set in the Joseon era (1392-1897), the story...</description>

Korean actor Ji Chang-wook teams up with Disney+ for his third autumn thriller in a row with The Manipulated, a mile-a-minute action-revenge saga about an ordinary man who becomes the pawn of a diabolical mastermind.
The series follows Ji’s other recent Disney+ thrillers, the well-regarded gangland drama The Worst of Evil (2023) and the over-the-top crime thriller Gangnam B-Side (2024). Ji is no stranger to the material, having already headlined the 2017...</description>

While gender equality has made significant strides in South Korea over the past decade, the country stubbornly remains a paragon of patriarchy; consequently, it continues to rank at or near the bottom of all of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s gender equality metrics.

Following three zeitgeist-grabbing seasons of Squid Game and a Hollywood foray via the Star Wars series Acolyte, Korean superstar Lee Jung-jae scales things back in romcom Nice to Not Meet You, a far cry from the hard-nosed roles that have defined his screen persona over the past decade.

If the American dream is a suburban home with a white picket fence, the Korean one is a Seoul apartment and an executive title at a big company.
The new workplace K-drama The Dream Life of Mr Kim seems to confirm this, not least because it is based on a webtoon straightforwardly called “The Story of Manager Kim, Who Owns His Home and Works for a Large Company in Seoul”.

From the flutter of handwritten love notes to the gentle click of cassette players and the rustle of bus tickets tucked into pockets, many of the country’s top-rated television dramas are bringing a pre-digital age to life for a generation raised on smartphones.
