Home Drama Channel’s October lineup includes new K-dramas, free previews of "Perfect Family" and "Haechi," plus n.SSign and Seo In-guk specials.

In October, CS Home Drama Channel will begin free advance broadcasts of the tense, superb mystery "Perfect Family," directed by Lee Jeong-ik, and the full-scale historical drama "Haechi: The Road to the Throne," in which Jung Il-woo plays the young days of King Yeongjo, the 21st king of the Joseon Dynasty! In addition, a luxurious lineup is all together, including n.SSign’s first TV broadcast live performance, as they celebrate their 3rd anniversary since their Japanese debut, and Seo In-guk’s fan meeting! ◆ "Perfect Family," with a luxurious co-starring cast including Kim Young-dae and Kim Byung-chul The superb mystery "Perfect Family," directed by Lee Jeong-ik, will start on Wednesday, October 28! Director Lee Jeong-ik of "Crying Out Love, in the Center of the World" is a noteworthy work that drew attention as the first Japanese director in the history of Korea’s KBS. In addition to the reunion of Park Ju-hyun and Kim Young-dae, who became a hot topic in "The Forbidden Marriage," another highlight is the reunion of Kim Byung-chul and Yoon Se-a, who played a married couple in "SKY Castle: Upper Class Wives." Starting from the shocking confession by the daughter of the enviable "perfect family" that says, "I killed someone...," the hidden secrets of the happy family and a series of mysteries are revealed. You cannot take your eyes off the truth of the incident and the thrilling developments that deepen with each episode! ◆ Drama starring Jeon Hye-jin, "Riding Life" The human romance drama "Riding Life," in which a passionate working mom unfolds, will start on Thursday, October 29! Jeon Hye-jin from "Search WWW" passionately plays the role of a working mom struggling with work and child-rearing. It depicts the chaotic entrance-exam life of three generations of a family, beginning when a mother struggling with work and raising her 7-year-old daughter asks her own mother to handle the academy drop-offs and pick-ups. This talked-about work, which realistically and comically depicts mothers running around in the harsh private education scene in Korea and the reality of an academic society, as well as the harsh academy transportation (="riding") and housework and child-rearing, is a must-see! ◆ "Haechi: The Road to the Throne" starring Jung Il-woo and Ara "Haechi: The Road to the Throne," a proper historical drama starring Jung Il-woo, will have its first episode broadcast free in advance on Thursday, October 22! Written by Kim Yi-young, the hit screenwriter of "Jewel in the Palace" and "Dong Yi," this work also drew attention as Jung Il-woo’s return work after military discharge. Prince Lee Geum, who has been looked down upon because of his mother’s low status, is a story of conviction as he aims for a world without corruption and with equality together with companions who share his aspirations. Together with a hot-blooded young man played by Kwon Yul and a woman serving in the Office of the Inspector General played by Ara (Go Ara), he stands up to enormous power and takes on a rugged yet heartwarming, unyielding struggle until he later becomes the 21st king, Yeongjo! ◆ n.SSign’s Japan tour final performance to be broadcast on TV for the first time Global boy group n.SSign, which will celebrate the 3rd anniversary of its Japanese debut in November.
