This week JTBC announced the second season of The Good Detective 2 is coming to our screens on July 30. The new season brings back our detective heroes Sohn Hyun-joo (Tracer) and Jang Seung-jo (Snowdrop), who will be facing off against new foes, Kim Hyo-jin (Human Disqualification) and Jung Moon-sung (The Veil). Production remains in the hands of season one’s writer Choi Jin-won as well as PD Jo Nam-gook. [JTBC (1), (2)]

Over on TVING, a 6-episode drama sequel called Shark: The Storm is being planned, continuing the story of their 2021 action movie Shark: The Beginning. Based on a popular and ongoing webtoon – also called Shark – Kim Min-seok (Lovestruck in the City) will be reprising the lead role while Lee Hyun-wook (Mine) returns as the season’s new main villain. Planning for an early 2023 release, filming begins this month with scripts by Min Ji and PD Kim Gun directing. [Osen]

Woo hoo indeed!!! Can't wait for the return of our testosterone-deficient cop, his grumpy but hunky sidekick and his wonderful ragtag team.

I'm not interested in Remarriage and Desires at all, but damn that poster is fabulous.

And it looks like everyone in the ragtag team is back! I hope Jo Heebong comes back as the police chief and we need his spitfire sister back also. I still remember his phone ID for her, "someone else's sister in the next life" -- ahahahahahaaaaa!

Thank you for helping me finally work out how I have ended up watching dramas that were not a good fit for me, it was the subliminal messaging in the poster. Jinxed at first, impression funny cute romance with low key conflict ❤️ Verses reality when watching first episode 😱

Excited for The Good Detective 2. I just wish Lee Elijah was returning.

I like the poster for Remarriage & Desires. I'm getting a little burnt out on revenge dramas but hopefully, they nail the satire part and everyone looks fabulous.
