Three years after taking down Smile Capital’s ruthless loan shark operation, Gun-woo (Woo Do-hwan) has one dream: become a boxing champion. With Woo-jin (Lee Sang-yi) now in his corner as coach and chosen family, the future finally looks bright — until a dangerous new enemy steps into the ring.

Baek-jeong (Rain) controls a sprawling underground international boxing league built on money, violence, and zero mercy. When Gun-woo’s path collides with Baek-jeong’s empire, the two friends are pulled into a fight far bigger and dirtier than anything they’ve faced before. The stakes are global, the punches are real, and absolutely nobody is safe.

Imagine modern Korea — but as a constitutional monarchy. Sung Hee-joo (IU) has everything: beauty, brains, and billions. The one thing she doesn’t have? Noble status. As the second daughter of the country’s most powerful chaebol family, she’s a commoner in a world that still cares deeply about bloodlines.

Grand Prince Yi An (Byeon Woo-seok) is the king’s second son — which means royal blood but practically no power, no freedom, and a life lived in his brother’s shadow. When a contract marriage is proposed between the two as a solution to both their problems, neither expects anything real to come of it. Both of them are wrong.

Yumi (Kim Go-eun) has come a long way. The ordinary office worker who once fumbled her way through love is now a successful romance novelist — beloved by readers, admired by fans. But success hasn’t made the love department any easier. If anything, her cell village has gone suspiciously quiet lately.

Then Sin Soon-rok (Kim Jae-won) walks into her world. He’s the new PD at her publisher — handsome on the outside, blunt to the point of rudeness, and ruled almost entirely by his Rational Cell. He’s the opposite of everything Yumi’s emotional cells have been waiting for. Which is exactly why they’re about to wake up.

Yeo Eui-ju (Kim Hyang-gi) is perfectly average at everything — grades, popularity, and especially romance. Nobody at school would ever guess that by night she secretly writes wildly popular BL fiction online, starring four impossibly handsome fictional teachers. The views are basically zero. Then four actual teachers arrive who look suspiciously like her characters.

Ga Wu-su (Cha Hak-yeon) is a cold math genius with a Mensa-level IQ who communicates almost entirely in equations. His friends include a charming Japanese teacher, a warm PE coach, and a gentle Korean literature teacher. When Eui-ju’s fictional world and her real life start colliding scene by scene, she realizes the protagonist of her own messy love story might just be her.

Hwang Dong-man (Koo Kyo-hwan) has spent twenty years trying to make his first film. He’s the only one in his famous director’s circle who hasn’t debuted — and watching his peers succeed is quietly destroying him from the inside. He acts confident. It’s not working. Then he meets a producer who’s lost her own compass entirely.

Byeon Eun-ah (Go Youn-jung) is a razor-sharp film producer who has earned the nickname “The Axe” for her brutal script reviews. She hides her own frustrations and fears behind a wall of cold competence. When their worlds collide over a project that matters more than either of them will admit, the walls start developing very inconvenient cracks. From the writer of My Mister and My Liberation Notes — expect to feel something deeply.

Five high school friends at Seorin High discover Girigo — a mysterious app that claims to grant any wish you upload as a video. The first wish seems to come true. The second one does too. Then a classmate dies, and a countdown timer appears on their phones. The app doesn’t just grant wishes. It sets a price.

Yoo Se-ah (Jeon So-young) is a driven track athlete with the instinct to run toward danger instead of away from it. She and her friends have 24 hours per timer to uncover the truth behind Girigo — who built it, why it kills, and whether any of them can break the chain before it reaches them. Netflix’s first-ever Korean YA horror series, directed by the Kingdom and Moving team.

In 1988, a serial killer begins targeting women in the quiet town of Gangseong. The cases go cold. The killer is never caught. Thirty years pass — and in 2019, the murders begin again. Detective Kang Tae-ju (Park Hae-soo) is demoted to his hometown and finds himself staring at a case that has haunted Gangseong for three decades.

Solving it means working with prosecutor Cha Si-young (Lee Hee-joon) — the one man Tae-ju despises more than anyone alive. What begins as an uneasy alliance becomes something more dangerous as the truth about the original killer, and the copycat, starts pulling them both toward answers nobody in Gangseong actually wants to find. Inspired by Korea’s real Hwaseong serial murder case.

Matthew Lee (Ahn Hyo-seop) — known to the whole village of Deokpung as “Quail” — is a man who runs the world’s only farm producing a rare miracle ingredient. Cold on the outside, quietly warm on the inside, he keeps his life orderly, his schedule tight, and unwanted visitors very much off his land.

Dam Ye-jin (Chae Won-bin) is a star home shopping host with 1 trillion won in cumulative sales and the silver tongue to match. She suffers from severe insomnia — and somehow, a rare white flower mushroom that only Matthew grows is the only thing that might help. She finds him. He refuses. She doesn’t leave. Two people who have no business falling for each other, falling anyway.

Kim Hee-ju (Park Bo-young) has spent years building a life far from the town she grew up in — steady job as an airport security agent, a pilot boyfriend who feels like an escape hatch. Then that same boyfriend calls in a panic and hands her a bag she should never have accepted. Within days she’s on the run with 150 billion won worth of smuggled gold bars, headed straight back to the hometown she swore she’d never see again.

Jang Wook (Kim Sung-cheol) is an enforcer for Geumsung — the criminal organization that wants its gold back. Cold, relentless, and very good at his job, he’s been sent to retrieve exactly one thing: the money, and the woman who has it. As Hee-ju fights for survival in a world of greed, betrayal, and casino politics, neither of them expected the situation to get this complicated. From the director of Chief Detective 1958 and Confidential Assignment — and the screenwriter of Oldboy.

Joo In-ah (Shin Hye-sun) is the youngest female executive in the history of Haemu Group — the head of the audit department, feared by all, respected by most, and hiding a secret that nobody in the office would ever guess. She runs a tight ship. She doesn’t do favourites. And she definitely doesn’t do emotions at work.

Noh Ki-joon (Gong Myung) was the audit team’s golden boy — brilliant, composed, and on track for the top. Then he got demoted to handling internal misconduct cases, specifically because In-ah chose him. As the two are forced to work side by side on cases that are part infuriating, part absurd, and occasionally bittersweet, the walls they’ve both spent years building start developing some very inconvenient cracks.
