With December drawing near, JTBC has unveiled their drama lineup for 2023. In a story about starting over, Doctor Cha Jung-sook follows Uhm Jung-hwa’s (Our Blues) character as she reclaims her life and pursues a new career in medicine, after being betrayed by her husband. A new romance called The Woman Who Plays is on the horizon as well, which pairs Uhm Tae-gu (Dr. Brain) with Han Sun-hwa (Work Later, Drink Now). JTBC’s 2023 will also bring titles such as Agency, Sacred Divorce, Hip, King the Land, Bad Mom, Miracle Brothers, and Strong Woman Kang Nam-soon among many others. [News]

I can almost feel the warm breeze from ENA’s new posters for Summer Strike (a.k.a. I Don’t Feel Like Doing Anything), allowing our cute OTP, Seolhyun (The Killer’s Shopping List) and Im Shi-wan (Tracer), some much needed downtime and rest. The slice-of-life drama will be premiering November 21 and will be the first to air in ENA’s Monday-Tuesday slot. [YTN]
We also have a new poster from Wavve’s Weak Hero Class 1 as well as thrilling new video teaser, featuring the main cast.

Missing: The Other Side 2 : I wonder how the second season will work. After the first one, they lost the ability to see the village... Ha Joon will be busy with this one and This Romance is a Force Majeure

Summer Strike : It looks so good. I'm really impatient to see it.

I think that that particular village was one of many purgatory-like worlds. At the way end of the final episode of season one, the main character returns to the city and sees the spirits of other children, implying that the supernatural village was not unique. I don't remember the specific details of that final scene, as it's been a while since I watched season one, but I remember the ending implying that the story could continue (which we now know is the case because the creators ended up making a season two).

Based on my recollection of the first season's ending, I think the main character still sees spirits; I am not sure about the other man, whose daughter went missing.

I don't remember everything but they found the member of their family they lost (Heo Jun-ho's child and Go Soo's mother) and it's why they didn't see the village anymore.

Thanks for the reminder. I do remember, however, that Go-soo's character sees spirits again in the final scene. Hopefully, we'll get a good explanation. I might also need to re-watch season one.

Wavve’s:
TRACER (2022) (2seasons, 8 episodes each) arrived on Viki US on a delayed basis and is available.
SEASONS OF BLOSSOM (2022) is available on Viki US.
YOU RAISE ME UP (2021) is available on Viki US.
That is three dramas.

I think it is a positive that Wavve and Viki have developed a business relationship.
