Show just premiered this weekend, and is currently enjoying an initial rating of 8.3 on MDL, which is very respectable.
This season will be 12 eps, and will air from 4 Aug to 9 Sept, on Fri and Sat on ENA, SBS and Disney+.

This one completely flew under my radar, but it sounds like it could be fun, especially if you're a fan of Jung Hae In &/or Siwan, coz the two friends will be traveling together to Scotland, and we'll get to go along for the ride, via this show.
Show will premiere on 23 August 2023, on jTBC. No word yet on which streaming platforms will carry this one.

I feel like each new trailer or teaser I see of this show, has a different tone than the last. Which means I have no idea what Show's actual tone is going to be like.
This teaser seems a lot more comedic than the period one, which feels a lot more poignant.
Nothing but to wait and see, I suppose. đ
Show will be 16 eps, and will air on Wed and Thurs starting on 23 August, on jTBC and Netflix.

Romance spanning multiple lifetimes seems to be Dramaland's new flavor of the month, perhaps, and this trailer, we get a glimpse of the Joseon portion of our story. It sure looks atmospheric, but I'm already feeling iffy about the chemistry between our leads, oops. đ But hey, this is just the trailer and I'm just guessing, so it could still be great?
