Currently airing dramas: A roundup

106 April 5, 2009April 6, 2017

by javabeans

So, what’s airing these days?

After a popular phenomenon of a drama ends, people tend to wonder, What next? Even if you haven’t been watching Boys Before Flowers, maybe you’re wondering what else is out there.

So here’s a rundown of all the dramas currently airing, and a list of those to keep an eye on as they beginning premiering soon. I can’t speak for every single drama out there, but I’ve tried to provide most of them with a short description and/or personal impression.

SONG OF THE DAY

Fly to the Sky – “Song For You” from their latest (and last) album, “Decennium.” [ Download ]

MONDAYS & TUESDAYS

QUEEN OF HOUSEWIVES [내조의 여왕], MBC
Stars: Kim Nam-joo, Oh Ji-ho, Lee Hye-young, Choi Chul-ho
It’s about: On the surface, it sounds a bit standard — three married couples living in three different states of marital non-bliss. But it’s really more like a study in wifely politicking, dressed up in hilarious encounters and jockeying for position.
You might like it because: It’s cute, it’s funny, it’s lighthearted. Acting is solid and so far there’s no huge, overwrought source of melodrama; it’s the little catastrophes that make up this series.
You might dislike it because: I’ll probably be writing up this drama next, and I’ll reserve a section for discussing my qualms.

Queen of Housewives will be followed by Queen Seon-deok in May.

JA MYUNG GO [자명고], SBS
Stars: Jung Ryeo-won, Park Min-young
It’s about: In the folk legend, “jamyunggo” is a war drum; in this drama she is personified as a woman, Princess Ja-myung, played by Jung Ryeo-won. She’s also sister to Princess Nak-rang of the famous love story with Prince Ho-dong.
You might like it because: You like historical dramas with action, and/or you like the actors. It’s also very pretty.
You might dislike it because: I watched Episode 1, and oh my god I was so bored. I zoned out of every conversation and started to rewind to get the point, but figured it wasn’t worth it. I know it was only one episode out of 50, but then I thought, “Oh god this is only Episode 1 out of 50??”

STORY OF A MAN [남자이야기], KBS
Stars: Park Yong-ha, Park Shi-yeon, Kim Kang-woo, Philip Lee, Park Ki-woong
It’s about: A thriller-esque drama that combines corporate corruption with one man’s revenge mission. Money looks to be a key theme here.
You might like it because: Scriptwriter Song Ji-nah wrote two of the greatest kdramas of all time (Sandglass, Eyes of Dawn) as well as Legend, and this drama comes highly anticipated. Come May when Queen Seon-deok airs, it’ll also be the only contemporary drama on Mondays and Tuesdays. Park Yong-ha also gets the chance to break out of his softer, gentler side and play a tough guy, particularly after his character is released from prison.
You might dislike it because: Song Ji-nah’s respected but not infallible. Legend may have been popular, but the writing wasn’t its highlight (that would have to be its sprawling production, and, oh yeah, Yonsama). Also, can this drama sustain the tension and suspense of what might make a great 2-hour movie into a full season of episodes?

WEDNESDAYS & THURSDAYS

THE RETURN OF ILJIMAE [돌아온 일지매], MBC
Stars: Jung Il-woo, Yoon Jin-seo, Kim Min-jong, Jung Hye-young
It’s about: Based on the famous manhwa, this adaptation (which is completely separate from Lee Junki’s Iljimae last year) takes a look at the man’s gradual evolution from abandoned baby through his turbulent adolescence and, finally, as he becomes the legendary hero.
You might like it because: It’s beautiful, it’s moving, it’s well-acted, well-directed, well-scored. Everything about it is balanced just right, paced with skill, demonstrated with lush care. It’s a fantastic series that may be one of the best of the year.
You might dislike it because: I don’t know. If you hate this drama I may have to disavow all knowledge of you. (I kid. It may not be your taste, but really, it’s good.)

Since Return of Iljimae is set to finish this week, it will soon be replaced by the upcoming Kwon Sang-woo vehicle, Cinderella Man:

CINDERELLA MAN [신데렐라맨], MBC
Premieres: April 15
Stars: Kwon Sang-woo, Yoon-ah, Han Eun-jung, Song Chang-eui
It’s about: Poor Kwon Sang-woo runs a clothing stall in a lower-end shopping district. He happens to look exactly like Rich Kwon Sang-woo, who runs a high-end fashion apparel brand. OMG coincidence! They switch places.
You might like it because: It’s got a comic angle, and it’ll be nice seeing Kwon do something not so weepy or angsty for once. I’m looking forward to seeing how he pulls off the dual identity roles, and plan to bust a gut laughing because he’s either really good at the wacky antics, or really bad. I suppose this drama could actually be decent (pffft!), but this has the potential to be a fabulous trainwreck.
You might dislike it because: This also has the potential to be a horrible trainwreck. It’ll be great if it’s an entertaining mess (a la Boys Before Flowers), but not so much if it’s a boring nonsensical mess (a la Bad Love).

HATE YOU BUT LET’S TRY AGAIN [미워도 다시 한번], KBS
Stars: Choi Myung-gil, Park Sang-won, Jeon In-hwa, Park Ye-jin
It’s about: I haven’t followed this, so here’s what I’ve pulled together from reading the synopsis: This deals with “love, family, and marriage” in the lives of middle-aged women. The main character is a female CEO of a department store, married with one son who is actually the child of her former lover and not her husband. Married because of parental pressure, she has lived without feeling much marital affection, but her relationship with her husband starts to improve — but he has another lover and even a daughter that she doesn’t know about, whom he’d wanted to marry even before marrying his wife.
You might like it because: This drama has done decently in the ratings and sounds like one of the better “makjang” dramas.
You might dislike it because: Honestly, even after reading several synopses, I don’t have a good handle on what makes this drama good. It sounds fairly typical.

When this drama ends, it’ll be replaced by the following romantic comedy, Six Months:

SIX MONTHS [식스 먼스], KBS
Premieres: April 29
Stars: Kim Ah-joong, Hwang Jung-min
It’s about: Because of a compromising circumstance, a movie star is forced into a six-month-long contract marriage with an ordinary postal worker.
You might like it because: It’s a clichéd plot (Notting Hill redux? Or a cheerier Star’s Lover?), but the contract love relationship is one cliché I never tire of. This features two famous movie stars (Hwang Jung-min?! In a romance drama??) and it looks like this may be cute and sweet.
You might dislike it because: The clichéd plot.

CAIN & ABEL [카인과 아벨], SBS
Stars: So Ji-sub, Shin Hyun-joon, Han Ji-min, Chae Jung-ahn
It’s about: Brotherly strife. Hospital politics. Tangled love relationships. Angry people trying to kill other people. Angst. Melodrama.
You might like it because: So Ji-sub. Also, if the above traits appeal to you.
You might dislike it because: None of the above traits appeal to you. From what I’ve heard and read, the writing in this drama is confusing and a little bit insane, and So Ji-sub is the only thing keeping it afloat. Is your SJS love strong enough to endure?

When Cain & Abel ends, it will be replaced by City Hall:

CITY HALL [시티 홀], SBS
Premieres: April 29
Stars: Kim Sun-ah, Cha Seung-woo
It’s about: A woman mayor (Kim Sun-ah) has climbed her way to the top after starting in a lowly municipal position. She clashes with a high-ranking bureaucrat (Cha Seung-won), a cold, efficient man who’s obviously in need of a good woman to melt his icy exterior, right?
You might like it because: Kim Sun-ah and Cha Seung-won just might make a really sexy pair. This is supposedly aiming for a bright, pleasant rom-com feel.
You might dislike it because: Humdrum plot.

WEEKENDS

EMPRESS CHEON-CHU [천추태후] (aka Iron Empress), KBS
Stars: Chae Shi-ra
It’s about: Female hero sageuk featuring an ass-kicking woman leader (the Iron Empress herself), who defends her nation against invaders.
You might like it because: You like action sageuks and female leads.
You might dislike it because: If you’re like me, you may not have the patience for long-running sageuk series, no matter how badass Chae Shi-ra is.

JOB WELL DONE [잘했군 잘했어] (aka Good Job), MBC
Stars: Chae Rim, Eom Ki-joon
It’s about: Eom Ki-joon’s character has harbored a crush on the slightly older Chae Rim for ever. He persists in trying to win her heart, even now when she’s a single mom raising an adorably precocious little girl.
You might like it because: Eom Ki-joon is adorable, the acting is good, and the drama looks overall like a sweet, fun watch.
You might dislike it because: Again, you don’t have the patience to put up with a long-running drama.

CAN ANYONE LOVE? [사랑은 아무나 하나], SBS
Stars: Ji Su-won, Yoo Ho-jung, Han Go-eun, Sohn Hwa-ryung
It’s about: Four sisters in a comedic family drama.

Replacing KBS’s My Precious You is the new drama:

SONS OF SOL PHARMACY HOUSE [솔약국집 아들들], KBS
Premieres: April 4
Stars: Han Sang-jin, Sohn Hyun-joo, Park Sun-young
It’s about: A family drama that features four sons, the oldest of whom is a smart and good guy (Han Sang-jin) whose love life has been stymied by his average looks.

With Family Honor ending on SBS, taking its place is the upcoming:

GLORIOUS INHERITANCE [찬란한 유산] (formerly Life is Beautiful), SBS
Premieres: April 25
Stars: Lee Seung-ki, Han Hyo-joo, Moon Chae-won

ALSO CURRENTLY AIRING

I focus on prime-time dramas, because that’s where my interest lies, but there are always a number of others that do air at different times. For instance, “daily dramas” show in the evenings, but before the prime-time series that go on in the 10pm hour. “Morning dramas” are also daily, but they air, obviously, in the mornings.

Daily Dramas

Temptation of Wife, 아내의 유혹, SBS
I Love You, Don’t Cry, 사랑해, 울지마, MBC
The Way Home, 집으로 가는 길, KBS

Morning Dramas

White Lie, 하얀 거짓말, MBC
Glory of Youth, 청춘예찬, KBS
Wife and Woman, 아내와 여자, KBS
Pure You, 순결한 당신, SBS

Sitcom
Tae-hee, Hye-gyo, Ji-hyun, 태희혜교지현이, MBC

AIRING LATER IN 2009

Triple [트리플]
Projected airdate: June 10
Stars: Yoon Kye-sang, Lee Jung-jae, Lee Seon-kyun, Lee Hana, Min Hyo-rin
About: Coming to you from the writer and director of Coffee Prince, Triple is the one I’m most looking forward to. Figure skating ladies (Min Hyo-rin, Lee Hana) meet ad agency exec men (Yoon Kye-sang, Lee Jung-jae, Lee Seon-kyun). Awesomeness ensues.

Swallow the Sun [태양을 삼켜라]
Projected airdate: June 17
Stars: Ji Sung, Sung Yuri
About: Called the “All In 2” because it pairs the writer and director team from All In.

Friend, the Unending Story [친구, 그 못다한 이야기], MBC
Projected airdate: June
Stars: Hyun Bin, Kim Min-joon
About: Drama adapation of the hit film Friend starring Jang Dong-gun.

IRIS [아이리스], KBS
Projected airdate: September
Stars: Lee Byung-heon, Kim Tae-hee, TOP, Kim So-yeon
About: Spy action drama supposedly based on blockbuster film Shiri (SIRI = IRIS, get it?) with huge cast and high production budget

Stars: Yoon Tae-young, Park Sung-min

thanks dramabeans for the write-up! i might pick up iljimae because of your rave reviews, even though im generally not too crazy about saeguks.
im looking forward to seeing kim sun ah on tv again. the plot does sound very boring (just like her previous drama, when it's at night), but hopefully it'll be so funny and cute that i'll keep on watching.

thank you for this...
same with chasen8888, as much as i like ksw, the idea of a 33 yr old man pairing with not-yet-20 yr old is kinda make me go "eww..." in PotW, although PSY and MGY is the main pair, but there are also MGY - MCY pair, so my "eww..." moment kinda dissipate :P
lately my taste of dramas were the fun, light ones, like Who Are You, Last Scandal (both i watched from reading your recommendation), BBF, Coffee Prince, etc. Or sometimes i go for the almost crazy but hella funny ones like jdrama Nodame or Hana Kimi. and occasionally dramas with great cast or storyline (not include politics, avenge driven, angst, and too many dramas)...
So from your list maybe i'll try catching up with Queen of housewife, job well done, six month and city hall (although kim sunah's latest drama didn't spark any interest in me at all, maybe i'll try to watch this one)...
as for the sageuk ones, iljimae still on top of my to-watch list, fortunately iron empress is on KBS world so i can watch it with subtitles...
i'm sooooo looking forward to triple, although i would call it 'double' now, coz the three main reason to watched it reduced to two (KJH, why??... TT) :P

Return of Ijimae looks really interesting but I feel hesitant because I've never seen a saeguk before mainly due to the fact that I really hate period/historical shows. Would this be something anyone can enjoy regardless of their qualms about saeguks?

Hateful but Once Again has a very strong cast, the husband of the President is actually one of two guys in Sandglass. I have no idea about two female leads before but they are really good. The story does not sound appealing, but once you start, you will see the strength of it. It's so real, and the twist seems unsolvable.
In the mix, there's a young couple with very cute story too.

I love it when you do roundups like this one. Always an informative and meaty read.

I highly recommend Job Well Done for all the reasons you mentioned, and because WITHS2 is subbing it. Please support us! ^^

My Park Sang-won love suffered some major bruising in Legend, so I'm hoping Hate You But Let's Try Again will heal the "wound." Want to watch this also for Jung Gyeo-woon. Heard it's decent fare.

Six Months sounds lighthearted and romantic. Hwang Jung-min is a joy to watch.

Triple because I heart Lee Jung-jae, The Voice and (to a lesser extent) Yoon Kye-sang. This better be good. It has to be good. Don't have the three fighting over the same girl, though.

Will also be watching Queen Seon-deok because we are subbing this. Uhm Tae-woong and Baek Do-bin. Sealed.

You're going to have to fight me to the death for that :D Joke joke - until My Gong Yoo comes out of the army, I'll only need LSK over the weekends.... :)

I think I'm going to give City Hall a try - I'm keeping my expectations pretty low but I have to support Kim Sun-ah. And of course, Triple. Gosh, all the expectations and anticipation for this drama that I have built up - I just know its gonna break my heart...

hi hi ^^
nice recap of available dramas to watch :)
as many viewers here, i am SO dependant of fansubbing teams, english or french, and i am SO sad Queen of Housewives was not picked up as a project by a single team ;-( it maybe the only drama i wanted to watch out of your list :(
but as someone already write it, i have never really catch a drama during its airtime, except for BOF *i was caught in its crazyness* ... so i'll wait for the drama to end and maybe the drama will be subbed *praying*

on the other hand i am happy that Return of Iljimae will get subtitles :) as i was reading this blog and all the recaps of RoI, i thought it was a pity that it wasnt subtitled.... i dont have any reason to not watch this/my first sageuk drama

thank you dramabeans.

ps : @#5 : do you take french class ? may i correct one of your expression ? you may write "queLLE horreur" ; horreur : feminine noun

As for Cinderella Man, I have a feeling it's going to be another flop like Bad Love.

Ja Myung Go could have been good if they had better castings. Jung Kyung Ho who plays prince Hodong and Moon Sung Geun (King Daemusin) are so wrong for the characters, let along Jung Ryu Won can't do the material art. I can't shake off the images of Jung Jin Young and Song Il Gook in Kingdom of the Winds.

Yeap, I agree, JMG should be reduced to 20 eps.

I have mixed feelings about Oh Ji Ho.

I think he has striking good looks, and I only have the standard complaints about his acting chops - like most Korean male actors, he's a bit wooden, he does the "I'm angry now... rowrrrr" face and he does the "I'm sad now.... watch me tear up" face, but not much else. At least, in Superrookie, he had two modes and that's it. (NOT THAT there aren't fantastic male Korean actors, and I can probably name a half-dozen off the top of my head, but that most of the male actors aren't necessarily going to win any awards from me).

Anyhoo. I can't see Oh Ji ho suddenly becoming a better actor in Queen of Housewives, and with his personal baggage, it makes it hard for me to give him 100% support.

Re: Ja Myung Go. The girl who plays Ja Myung Go as a child is Lee Young Yoo, and she is just plain adorable. We are watching Bad Family right now, and she plays the girl who survives the car accident, Nalim.

I didn't have any place to put this thought, so I'll put it here, using the connection between Ja Myung Go (an appropriate topic on this thread) and the drama I wanna talk about. hehe. (JB, sorry for OT thread kidnap / hijack!)

So, my wife and I are watching Bad Family, and we are growing attached to Lee Young Yoo because she is so cute and she delivers lines 10x better than, say, Dennis Oh, but then the thought came into my head that I also felt similarly to Suh Jee Hui, who played Samshik's niece Mi Joo.

Picture of Mi Joo: http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Image:Suh_Ji_Hee.jpg
Picture of Nalim: http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Image:LeeYoungYoo.jpg

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a full-fledged battle of the cuties.

I feel bad now, because a few months ago, I have bet my MNIKSS DVD set against the idea that there would be another cutie as cutie as Suh Ji Hee. Is it wrong to think that Nalim is as cute? Am I betraying my attachment to Mi Joo if I also think that Nalim is adorable???

Oh, btw, Kim Myung Min is just fantastic as Oh Dal Gun. A delicate performance balance between tough and not-so-tough. Hey Dennis Oh! You wanna learn how to act? Check out Kim Myung Min in Episode 8, or Kim Myung Min in Episode 12.

Is KMM on par with Gong Yoo in Episode 12 of Coffee Prince? You know what? I think so.... calm down, yes, Gong Yoo is pretty awesome but Kim Myung Min is on par with that in Bad Family.

thanks for the post, i was looking for something to watch these days....

i actually started up Cain & Abel and was surprised at how much im liking it (i'm not a fan of action/romance and i've never watched a So Ji Sub drama).....it could be cause im a sucker for hospital drama LOL...but i really like this so far, the actors are just amazing~especially after watching BOF, you can really tell how much more talented these A-list actors are (not saying BOF actors aren't talented, they've just got a long way to go compared to some of the more experienced lot).....anyway, I would recommend this even if ur not into action dramas.....

am currently enjoying Cain and Abel and yes my love for SJS can endure it all! hope that one day he could have a series with more than 50eps! just can't get enough of him lol!!.....though I love Return of Iljimae, have temporarily stop watching this coz can't find a site with an updated Eng subs of it, maybe coz it's a saguek tha't why they can't sub it that fast like others, anywaysnext in line is Story of a Man, love action ones and with Park Yong Ha in it, it is a plus for me...Triple coz of Yoon Kye Sang and Lee Jung Jae and of course Invisible War coz of eye candy Lee Jun Ki and hmmm.... will probably consider Iris?? coz of Lee Byung Heon..... I just love series with lots of eye candies in it lol!!

I'm watching Cain & Abel and am enjoying it! It's definitely more interesting & exciting now that it's leading up to the final stretch. I can't wait for the next episode to air! SJS is excellent in it, so is his evil brother!

I think Hateful but once again ( KBS Wednesday & Thursday) is a good series.
It tears my heart every week.
