“Mad Concrete Dreams” is a thriller drama starring Ha Jung Woo as Ki Su Jong, a struggling landlord who gets caught up in crime to protect his family and property. Despite achieving the coveted status of a landlord, mounting debts lead him to become entangled in a staged kidnapping. However, the plan spirals out of control as the fake kidnapping turns dangerously real.

Spoilers

In the upcoming episode, Kim Seon (Lim Soo Jung) begins to uncover the truth behind the death of her brother Kim Gyun (Kim Nam Gil), who died early in the series following a mysterious car accident.

Kim Seon begins to harbor lingering doubts about the circumstances surrounding her brother’s death. Previously, she obtained Kim Gyun’s USB from Real Capital, the office of Yo Na (Shim Eun Kyung), and questioned why it was there in the first place. Her suspicions deepen further after hearing from Min Hwal Seong (Kim Jun Han) that her husband Ki Su Jong may be connected to Kim Gyun’s death.

Kim Seon eventually moves closer to uncovering the truth and ultimately learns that Yo Na is behind it all—prompting her to make a decisive choice. Yo Na, who has carried out a series of unpredictable murders, is a highly dangerous figure, heightening tension over what consequences Kim Seon’s thirst for revenge may bring.

Until now, Kim Seon has been complicit in various incidents alongside Ki Su Jong for the sake of their family’s future. Though she tried to trust her husband, that trust has now been shattered—raising questions about what path she will take next. Meanwhile, Kim Gyun’s USB, which she had been unable to access due to a password, emerges as a crucial variable, drawing attention to the hidden truth it may contain.

“Phantom Lawyer” has unveiled new stills ahead of its new episode!

“Phantom Lawyer” is a quirky yet heartwarming legal drama that follows the adventures of Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok), a lawyer who can see ghosts, and elite attorney Han Na Hyun (Esom) as they resolve the lingering grievances of their very unusual clients—ghosts—through the law.

Spoilers

In the upcoming episode, Shin I Rang and his team finally unite in full force to take on the inheritance case of master shoemaker Kang Dong Sik (Lee Deok Hwa), who is on the verge of losing in court. Newly released stills show Shin I Rang and Han Na Hyun—now fully in sync and operating as a perfect team—exuding a commanding presence. Their determined gazes reflect their resolve to uncover the hidden truth of the deceased and bring it to light. Adding to their strength is Shin I Rang’s brother-in-law Yoon Bong Soo (Jeon Seok Ho), further reinforcing the team.

Yoon Bong Soo’s addition brings a mix of humor and poignancy. In a pre-release clip, he ends up losing his minor acting role due to a phone call from his brother-in-law Shin I Rang interrupting filming, which ultimately leads him to join the Okcheon Building team as a key helper.

Meanwhile, anticipation is also building over how Kang Dong Sik himself—now deceased—will contribute to the case. So far, Shin I Rang’s ghost clients have provided crucial clues that only the dead could know, helping him secure victories in court.

However, the truth they must uncover is far from simple. As Taebaek presses its case by arguing that Kang Dong Sik’s will was fabricated based on scientific data, the team must instead rely on the memories and sincerity of the deceased—things that cannot be proven by numbers alone. Adding to the tension, a shocking possibility emerges in the preview: Ryu Seon Hwa, a co-founder believed to be dead, may actually still be alive. With the stakes higher than ever, what unexpected move will the team make to turn the tables in tonight’s episode?

Episode 11 of “Phantom Lawyer” airs on April 17 at 9:50 p.m. KST.

“Family Matters” Season 2 has offered a first look at its table read!

“Family Matters” is a black comedy thriller about a group of individuals with supernatural abilities who form a makeshift family to protect themselves from a criminal syndicate, while also wreak havoc on bad guys.

In Season 2, the family—now settled in a new city while hiding their pasts—faces an even more powerful enemy as they embark on a darker, more intense path of revenge.

The original cast returns, with Bae Doona, Baek Yoon Shik, Lomon, and Lee Su Hyun reuniting to portray the unconventional family. From “brain-hacker” mother Han Young Su (Bae Doona) to the eccentric grandfather and the now-grown siblings, their relationships are set to deepen further this season.

Park Byung Eun joins the cast as Baek Chul Yong, the family’s uncle.

The villain lineup has also been significantly expanded. Park Ho San, Jeon Hye Jin, Kang Ki Young, Baek Joo Hee, Shin Sung Min, and Lee Joong Ok join forces to form a formidable new wave of antagonists. Compared to the previous season, the more organized and powerful opposing forces are expected to place even greater pressure on the family, expanding the scale of the story.

At the script reading, Bae Doona shared, “The new characters felt much more terrifying,” while Baek Yoon Sik commented, “It’s meaningful just to be reunited.” Lomon and Lee Su Hyun also expressed their excitement about returning, and new cast member Park Byung Eun added, “I was impressed by Season 1, so I have high expectations.”

“Family Matters” Season 2 is currently aiming for a release in the second half of the year.

“Perfect Crown” has teased a fierce standoff between Byeon Woo Seok and Gong Seung Yeon.

Set in an alternate universe where modern-day Korea is a constitutional monarchy, “Perfect Crown” tells the love story of Seong Hui Ju (IU), a chaebol heiress who has everything but is only a commoner in status, and Grand Prince Ian (Byeon Woo Seok), a prince who has nothing despite being the son of the king.

Spoilers

Queen Dowager Yoon Irang (Gong Seung Yeon) has long viewed Grand Prince Ian as a potential threat to her own son and has kept him in check. In an attempt to weaken his position, she even ordered him to marry a woman of her choosing. However, her plans appear to unravel after a dating rumor involving Seong Hui Ju and Grand Prince Ian comes to light.

The newly released stills capture a tense confrontation between Seong Hui Ju, Grand Prince Ian, and Yoon Irang. Standing opposite the pair, Yoon Irang glares at them with fury. Despite her piercing gaze, Grand Prince Ian remains firm as he shields Seong Hui Ju.

Moments later, however, Seong Hui Ju appears to lose consciousness, prompting him to lift her into his arms—further heightening intrigue. With royal attendants looking on, attention is drawn to why Grand Prince Ian and Yoon Irang—two key pillars of the royal family—have come into direct conflict, and why Seong Hui Ju has entered the palace in her nightclothes.

The next episode of “Perfect Crown” airs on April 17 at 9:50 p.m. KST.

MBC’s upcoming drama “Fifties Professionals” has unveiled new stills of Oh Jung Se!

“Fifties Professionals” is an action-comedy about three seemingly ordinary but secretly dangerous middle-aged men who are brought back into action by destiny. The three men, who once reigned at the top of their respective fields, find themselves exiled to the remote island of Yeongseon after a mysterious incident. There, they begin a bittersweet and comedic quest to uncover the truth about the fateful day from 10 years ago that changed their lives.

Oh Jung Se stars as Bong Je Soon, an elite North Korean operative suffering from amnesia. In the past, Bong Je Soon was known as one of North Korea’s deadliest “human weapons,” excelling in taekkyeon (traditional Korean martial art) and undercover infiltration. While carrying out a mission to retrieve stolen classified documents and illicit funds, he falls into the sea and is eventually washed ashore on Yeongseon Island—far from any familiar ties.

The first stills of Bong Je Soon highlight a striking contrast between his past and present.

As the North Korean agent “Bulgae,” he commands attention with a cold, ruthless presence devoid of emotion. His restrained expressions and piercing, chilling gaze hint at the sheer tenacity and improbable luck that allowed him to survive even on the brink of death.

In stark contrast, Bong Je Soon after losing his memory and settling on Yeongseon Island is a far cry from his former charismatic self. With a timid smile and slumped shoulders, he now handles mundane office chores—repairing broken copiers and polishing his boss’s car—adding a touch of humor to his transformed life.

MBC’s new Friday-Saturday drama “Fifties Professionals” is set to premiere on May 22 at 9:50 p.m. KST.

Chae Won Bin will face an impossible choice between Ahn Hyo Seop and Kim Bum in SBS’s upcoming drama “Sold Out on You”!

“Sold Out on You” is a romantic comedy about the unexpected love story between Matthew Lee (Ahn Hyo Seop), a perfectionist farmer juggling multiple jobs, and Dam Ye Jin (Chae Won Bin), a top home shopping show host who suffers from severe insomnia.

Ahn Hyo Seop will star as Matthew Lee, who is extremely prickly and meticulous when it comes to his work. In addition to being a farmer, he is also the CEO of a natural ingredient company and a cosmetics development researcher. 

Although Matthew Lee appears cold and blunt on the outside, he is hiding a surprisingly warm heart on the inside. Despite being busy with his work, the dependable Matthew Lee tirelessly runs around helping the residents of his quiet rural village with their problems. When Dam Ye Jin barges into his life like a bulldozer in a quest for his rare white mushrooms, his unexpected duality will catch her off guard.

Meanwhile, Kim Bum will play Seo Eric, an executive director at a global skincare brand. A caring and affectionate person who is honest about his emotions, Seo Eric will prove a formidable romantic rival for Matthew Lee. As a member of a chaebol family who is determined not to get caught up in a cutthroat succession battle, Seo Eric has always deliberately kept himself out of the running by living a leisurely life in order to avoid competing for the title of successor.

After falling for Dam Ye Jin during a chance encounter in Korea, Seo Eric unexpectedly runs into her again several years later because of work. When fate brings them back together, the charming Seo Eric sets out to win Dam Ye Jin over with his sunny smile, friendly demeanor, and bold flirting.

“Sold Out on You” will premiere on April 22 at 9 p.m. KST.

IU is about to face the fallout of being linked to the grand prince on MBC’s “Perfect Crown”!

Set in an alternate universe where modern-day Korea is a constitutional monarchy, “Perfect Crown” tells the love story of Seong Hui Ju (IU), a chaebol heiress who has everything but is only a commoner in status, and Grand Prince Ian (Byeon Woo Seok), a prince who has nothing despite being the son of the king.

Spoilers

On the second episode of “Perfect Crown,” Seong Hui Ju and Grand Prince Ian were swept up in dating rumors after being photographed entering the same hotel. During a past relationship with an idol, Seong Hui Ju suffered all sorts of indignities, such as being pelted with eggs and having her car vandalized by angry fans—and now that she has been connected romantically to a prince beloved by the whole nation, she is in for another trying ordeal.

In the drama’s upcoming third episode, Seong Hui Ju will go through a particularly rough day that includes a barrage of hate comments and a humiliating egg attack. Newly released stills capture Seong Hui Ju being egged by a group of high school students in a parking lot.

Meanwhile, Grand Prince Ian will shock everyone by undergoing a surprising change after accepting Seong Hui Ju’s marriage proposal. Seeing Seong Hui Ju suffer because of their dating rumors, the prince will take an unexpected course of action in order to protect her.

To find out what Grand Prince Ian has planned, catch the third episode of “Perfect Crown” on April 17 at 9:50 p.m. KST!

“Absolute Value of Romance” has released new stills ahead of its premiere!

“Absolute Value of Romance” tells the story of high school student Yeo Eui Ju (Kim Hyang Gi), who secretly writes a BL novel featuring her handsome teachers as the main characters. However, when she winds up running into these teachers in real life at unexpected moments, her once-peaceful school life takes a turbulent turn.

The newly released stills depict Yeo Eui Ju grasping tightly to her phone with her gaze wavering as the prickly and cold match tacher Ga Wu Su (Cha Hak Yeon) appears in front of her, hinting at a misunderstanding that will take place.

As the handsome men who moved in next door become Yeo Eui Ju’s teachers, the stills of Gi Jeon (Sohn Jeong Hyuck) and Da Ju (Kim Jae Hyun) teaching at Eui Ju’s school further raise anticipation for her chaotic school life.

From Yeo Eui Ju discovering a fainted Wu Su on the ground to Yeo Eui Ju being found in a pile of trash and Wu Su with his glasses all taped up, the stills highlight unpredictable moments to come.

Furthermore, the sight of Ga Wu Su with Dong Ju (Kim Dong Gyu) in flashy outfits, exuding vibes completely different from reality, raises more questions for what will unfold in the new drama.

“Absolute Value of Romance” will premiere on April 17 at 8 p.m. KST via Coupang Play.

What started as a silly legal thriller drama has turned into a deeply emotional show, and I am loving it! The beginning of the second half of “Phantom Lawyer” not only brings new cases and characters but also a newfound depth within the main leads. Shin I Rang (Yoo Yeon Seok) had already won hearts with his kind and goofy yet determined personality, but watching him along with Han Na Hyun (Esom), whose character development is more than satisfactory, brings a greater appeal to this story. 

With their budding relationship going stronger than ever, here are some of the times they teamed up and supported each other in last week’s episodes! 

Warning: spoilers from episodes 9-10 ahead! 

1. Spending time with the ghost of Han Na Hyun’s sister

So far, to I Rang, being a ghost’s lawyer meant trying to seek justice for his clients. However, when Han Na Hyun’s sister appears to him, he quickly realizes that, more than justice for an unfair ruling, what this particular soul needs is a more personal closure—and not only for her but for her family, and especially Na Hyun as well. This chance to reunite with her sister is what will open the gates to getting to know Na Hyun for real. 

As silly or funny as it might be to watch I Rang possessed by a teenage girl once again, this time it hits harder because there’s someone who actually can feel that connection with the soul that’s taking over his body. To the people around them, they only appear to be a lovey-dovey couple, but when they show us the parallels in which Na Hyun’s sister appears, the true sisterly love transpires, making every scene take on a more endearing tone. However, at the end of the day, nothing could change what’s irreversible. And Na Hyun inevitably breaks down when she realizes that, despite I Rang’s ability, her sister can never come back to her. 

The last thing they can do is try to mend the broken relationship between Na Hyun and her parents, who also carried a heavy weight after losing one child and almost losing another to guilt and grief. Fortunately, they do take the first steps to make it. And throughout it all, I Rang is there to be Na Hyun’s ultimate supporter. 

2. Working together in an inheritance case 

Completely on the same side now, Na Hyun and I Rang work together on a complicated inheritance case from a shoemaker man (cameo by Lee Deok Hwa) who passed away due to Alzheimer’s disease. The issue isn’t only tricky due to the money aspect but also due to the entangled relationship between the man, his wife, and a late friend who died after she was framed for being a North Korean spy. Furthermore, and as expected, the opposing side is none other than Yang Do Kyung (Kim Kyung Nam), who will stop at nothing to prove to his father what he is capable of. 

Despite Yang Byeong Il (Choi Kwang Il) seeming like a nice character, there’s something about his presence and apparent kindness toward I Rang that makes you wonder what exactly his intentions are or what he is hiding behind his smile. However, it is clear that the more the people at Taebaek target I Rang, the more Na Hyun will stand by his side. Although they don’t completely agree on the course of action for this case, she still tries to understand his stance, which is to fully support his client and the ghost that follows them. 

3. Taking care of Shin I Rang when he gets possessed 

In these episodes, our hero goes through not one but two constant possessions, which naturally can take a toll on him. After witnessing how distressing and powerful a possession can be, Na Hyun has no choice but to become the ultimate I Rang defender. Watching him not being able to control this side effect of his ghost sighting and how lonely his situation can be pulls at Na Hyun’s heartstrings. In what direction they are going is still unknown, but it is definitely promising. 

For every softy like I Rang, there must be a strong person like Na Hyun. At first, she may have been cold and calculating, but deep inside, she was always empathetic and caring, showing that she is the perfect person to be a lawyer. Perhaps their chemistry isn’t fully developed yet, but their sort of chaotic dynamic with sprinkles of romance is really enjoyable. And since this latest case is far from over, we can still hope to see so much more from this new couple in the upcoming episodes of “Phantom Lawyer”!

“The WONDERfools” is gearing up for its premiere!

“The WONDERfools” is a superpower comic action set in 1999, a time when apocalyptic beliefs were rampant. It follows a group of neighborhood misfits who unexpectedly gain superpowers and fight against villains threatening the peace of Haeseong city.

The newly released poster captures Team Wonderfools peeping above a vending machine as various objects float around them. Eun Chae Ni (Park Eun Bin) smiles brightly while Lee Woon Jung (Cha Eun Woo) focuses intently. Meanwhile, Son Kyung Hoon (Choi Dae Hoon) looks surprised as Kang Robin (Im Seong Jae) is scared and taken aback. The copy “Lovable misfits on a superpowered adventure” raises anticipation for their chaotic journey.

The teaser released along with the poster officially introduces the team of misfits. As a concerned voice comments, “I think there’s something wrong with all of us. Maybe someone sprayed pesticide in our neighborhood,” Team Wonderfools begin to discover their mysterious abilities.

While the members experiment with their various abilities, Eun Chae Ni calmly states, “Others would call these sorts of things superpowers.”

“The WONDERfools” is set to premeire on May 15.

Season 2 of “Signal” has reportedly been removed from tvN’s summer programming.

On April 17, Korean news outlet OSEN reported that “The Second Signal,” the long-awaited second season of the hit 2016 drama “Signal,” had been pulled from its summer broadcast slot and would no longer be premiering in June as originally scheduled.

OSEN also reported that tvN had decided to air Apple TV+’s “Pachinko” instead of “The Second Signal.”

Later that morning, tvN responded to the reports by stating, “Nothing has yet been decided regarding the broadcasting of ‘The Second Signal.’”

The network also stated, “While it’s true that ‘Pachinko’ has been confirmed to air on tvN, the exact dates and time slot have not yet been decided.”

tvN also cautiously told Maeil Business Newspaper, “Nothing has yet been decided regarding the broadcasting of ‘The Second Signal.’”

In December of last year, “The Second Signal” star Cho Jin Woong came under fire after he was revealed to have a juvenile criminal record from his school days. Disclosures also surfaced about incidents from his adulthood, including an assault-related dispute and a drunk driving record. Cho Jin Woong ultimately acknowledged responsibility and announced his retirement, leaving the future of “The Second Signal,” which had already completed filming in August, uncertain.

According to OSEN’s unconfirmed report, “The Second Signal” has not been definitively canceled. Instead, tvN is currently in the process of taking more time to consider its broadcast plans for the drama. As the series was originally intended to air this year to commemorate tvN’s 20th anniversary, the network is said to be discussing the possibility of a premiere sometime before the end of 2026.
