Lee Jae-Wook and Jo Bo-Ah have paired up together for their upcoming historical romantic K-drama, ‘Dear Hongrang’. Let’s look at 5 such K-dramas before the new series hit the screens.

‘Dear Hongrang’ is Netflix’s upcoming K-drama featuring Lee Jae-Wook and Jo Bo-Ah. The first look has been unveiled, and already, the show has been making quite a buzz online. The storyline of the mystery romance set in the Joseon dynasty follows the disappearance of Hong Rang (Jae-Wook). He is the son of a powerful merchant family. On the other hand, Jae-Yi (Bo-Ah) who is his step-sister, searches for Hong Rang for years.

The K-drama scene has really been making improvements recently, and I suppose as we come closer to the last quarter, the quality will only improve. If you’re looking for an old-school K-drama that is lighthearted yet emotional and will play with your heartstrings, like a little cat playing with a ball of wool, then this is the show for you. Now, I know we’re only an episode in, but immediately, I can tell that this show is going to be deeply poignant as a comedy. This is true for most K-dramas that we love; this is why they’re so loved, but what’s better is that the show also boasts a stellar cast with Jung Eun-Ji and Lee Jung-Eun as the titular characters and the return of Choi Jin-Hyuk, a handsome hunk who was last seen in Numbers, a show I believe not many have heard of.

The genre-bending detective fiction series that is quickly becoming everybody’s favorite of the year is Sugar. The Apple TV+ series created by Mark Protosevich is set in Los Angeles and it follows the story of a private detective John Sugar as he is hired by a big-time film producer Jonathan Siegel to find his missing granddaughter Olivia. While, trying to find Olivia, Sugar stumbles into something far more dangerous than he could have anticipated. Sugar stars Colin Farrell in the lead role with Amy Ryan, James Cromwell, Sydney Chandler, Nate Corddry, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, and Dennis Boutsikaris starring in supporting roles.
