We now return to melodrama whose story is that of a man who, in the face of death, does everything he can to help the woman whose life he has ruined. The atmosphere, the actors and the plot seem more than promising in the face of the imminent death that looms. A register that speaks to us particularly because the psychology of the characters is likely to play a lot on the heartstrings on both sides of the scale. The editorial team recommends this drama!

Although the series is classified in the genre of romantic comedy, it seems that that the fantasy is also appropriate. Witches and other magical beings are getting a new lease of life thanks to our Korean friends. We do not know about you but at the writing, the plot makes us want and the fact of seeing that one of the members of a K-Pop group will also be in the drama makes us want to watch it even more. The pitch is nothing extraordinary but there is also good to give yourself a little respite in good company!

To finish our selection, we saved the best for last. No need to tell you what drama it is because it has ignited the web in recent months and most dramavores were waiting for it. The plot takes us to a dark and controversial era, that of the first American military intervention on the Korean peninsula. So you will have a nice history lesson and gifts, screenwriter KIM Eun Sook and director LEE Bok Eung having already worked together in 2016 on Goblin and Descendants of the Sun. In terms of casting, it seems important to us to point out that the main actor is making a resounding return after nine years away from the small screen!
