Korean dramas in 2024 feature top stars like Lee Jong-jae, Cho Jong-suk, Kim Tae-ri, Shin Mina, IU, and Park Bo-gum.

The new year has begun. In 2024, the drama industry has finished preparing to soar powerfully, receiving the luck of the dragon. Many anticipated works featuring Lee Jong-jae, Cho Jong-suk, Kim Tae-ri, Shin Mina, IU, Park Bo-gum, etc. will be released this year. I've summarized the anticipated works of 2024, which are expected to be exciting just by looking at the lineup. "Fascinating Man" "God of Acting" Cho Jong-suk and "Love Drama Master" Shin Se-gyeong co-star in a thrilling historical drama. The new weekend drama "Fascinating Man" on tvN, which will start broadcasting in Korea on the 21st of this month, depicts the cruel fate of a woman who has become a spy to take revenge on King Lee In, who is in a high position but has a humble heart. The drama, based on fictional historical fiction, is about spies who secretly investigate and provide information while hiding their identity, and is drawing attention. Cho Jong-suk and Shin Se-gyeong are expected to portray a king and a spy, and the cruel fate that awaits them has already piqued interest. "Connection" SBS's "Connection," starring Chi-song and Jung Mi-do, is also a highly anticipated work this year. The drama is a psychological crime investigation thriller that reveals the full story of a unique friendship that has lasted for 20 years, as an ace detective in the narcotics team is forcibly addicted to drugs by someone and investigates his friend's death. Chi-song plays the role of Detective Chang Jae-kyung of the narcotics team at Anhyeon Police Station, and Jung Mi-do plays a reporter in the social department of Anhyeon Economic Daily. With the timely topic of drugs added to the excellent acting of the famous actors, the drama is expected to be a hit. "Doctor Slump" Park Shin-ae and Park Hyung-sik reunite for the first time in 10 years since "Heirs." JTBC's new weekend drama "Doctor Slump" is a romantic comedy that depicts the "bad life" of doctors who have fallen into the biggest slumps of their lives for their own reasons. Park Shin-ae plays Nam Han-ul, an anesthesiologist who has developed burnout syndrome, and Park Hyung-sik plays Yo Jung-woo, a star orthopedic surgeon who falls into the worst slump of his life. It will start airing in Korea on the 27th. "The Best Divorce Lawyer" Lee Ji-ah and Kang Ki-young become Korea's best divorce lawyers. JTBC's new Wednesday-Thursday drama "The Best Divorce Lawyer," which will start airing in Korea on the 31st, is a drama that depicts the justice revenge solution of Kim Sara (Lee Ji-ah), Korea's best divorce lawyer who says, "I will divorce you so that no one knows," and the determined lawyer Tong Ki-joon (Kang Ki-young). The two provide solutions for people who are suffering in unhappy marriages in the drama and deliver an exciting story. It remains to be seen whether JTBC, which has achieved consecutive hits with "Doctor Cha Jung-suk" and "King the Land," will be able to gain popularity with excellent works in 2024. "Chungnyeon" It's interesting just to see the characters. Talented actresses Kim Tae-ri, Shin Ye-eun, La Miran, and Moon Sori have gathered by age. The drama "Chungnyeon" depicts the story of a girl named Chungnyeon (Kim Tae-ri) who was born with only a voice, joining a female national theater group and growing up in the aftermath of the Korean War in the 1950s. The drama is based on the web comic of the same name. Directed by Jung Jin and written by Che Hobi, who worked on "Red Sleeve," the drama has attracted attention. "Well Done" IU and Park Bo-gum co-star in the Netflix series "Well Done." The drama depicts the adventurous life of Esun, a rebel born in Jeju in the 1950s, and Gwansik, who is as tough as iron, in four seasons. Written by Im Sang-chun, who worked on "When the Camellia Blooms," and directed by Kim Won-suk, who worked on "Misaeng" and "My Mister," the drama is highly anticipated. "The Queen of Tears" Kim Soo-hyun, who has been on hiatus, is returning to the drama after a long time. Born in 1988 and the year of the dragon, his return in the "Year of the Dragon" has already attracted high interest from viewers. He reunites with screenwriter Park Ji-eun, who wrote the mega-hit "My Love from the Star," in his return work. The heroine is played by Kim Ji-won. The drama depicts the story of the crisis and miraculous love of Hong Hae-in, the queen of the conglomerate Queens Group and the prince of the supermarket, Baek Hyun-woo, the son of the head of Yongdu-ri, a 3-year-old married couple. It will start airing in Korea in March. "Don't Want to Lose" Shin Mina, who hit it big with "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha," "Our Blues," and "The King's Affection," has chosen another tvN drama as her comeback work and aims for three consecutive hits. tvN's "Don't Want to Lose" is a romantic comedy drama about a fake married couple, Song Hee-young, who got married to avoid loss, and Kim Ji-uk, who became a fake groom to avoid causing harm. In the drama, Shin Mina's co-star is "the next-generation star of romantic dramas," Kim Yong-de. The two, who have become a couple, provide empathy in a fresh topic of a fake marriage in a love comedy. "Everything Will Be Alright" After the boom, the protagonists chosen by screenwriter Kim Eun-sook are Kim Woo-bin and Bae Suzy. The drama "Everything Will Be Alright" is a stress-free romantic comedy that unfolds around three wishes that are either lucky or punitive for "emotionally excessive" Genie (Kim Woo-bin) and "emotionally deficient" Gayoung (Bae Suzy), who hold each other's life and death rights. It is also a work that reunites Kim Woo-bin and Bae Suzy for the first time since KBS's "Uncontrollably Fond." The fantasy romance drama by the two actors, whose existence itself is fantasy, has attracted high interest. "Squid Game 2" One of the most anticipated works of 2024 is "Squid Game 2." Since the release of "Squid Game" in 2021, which caused a worldwide boom, there has been a high level of interest in when Season 2 will be released. Following Lee Jong-jae, Lee Byung-hun, and Gong Yoo from Season 1, Season 2 will also feature T.O.P from BIGBANG, Choi Yoo-ri from IZ*ONE, Im Si-wan, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Han-ul, and Park Sung-hoon. Although the specific release date has not been decided, there is a high possibility that it will be released within the year. "The Paradox of the Murderer" The Netflix new series "The Paradox of the Murderer," starring Che Woo-shik and Song Sook, has been confirmed for distribution from February 9th. The drama is based on the web comic of the same name by the author Koma Bi, which caused a great sensation at the time of its serialization with its shocking storytelling. It tells the story of Lee Tang, who selects only those who have committed evil deeds and commits murder, and raises the topic of "crime and punishment."
