New posters have dropped for Netflix’s upcoming Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area Part 2, showcasing newcomer Im Ji-yeon (Rose Mansion) alongside our existing main players: Yoo Ji-tae (When My Love Blooms), Jeon Jong-seo (Bargain), Park Hae-soo (Title), Kim Yun-jin (Ms. Ma, Nemesis), and Kim Sung-oh (L.U.C.A.: The Beginning) among many others. The second part of the crime-action will be available to watch on December 9. [News1]

Reflecting on food and simple joys with your family, Watcha’s slice-of-life melodrama It May Be a Little Spicy Today released a new poster and video teaser of our little family of three: Han Seok-kyu (Romantic Doctor Teacher Kim 2), Kim Seo-hyung (Mine), and Jin Ho-eun (Shooting Stars). Coming to our screens on December 1, writing and directing was helmed by filmmaker Lee Ho-jae (Sori: Voice from the Heart). [MBC]
With the premiere just a few days away, ENA’s Summer Strike has dished out another batch of stills featuring our wistful OTP, Seolhyun (The Killer’s Shopping List) and Im Shi-wan (Tracer). Launching on November 21 and opening ENA’s Monday-Tuesday slot, writing and directing was done by Lee Yoon-jung (The Lies Within, Coffee Prince) and Hong Moon-pyo. [MBC (1), (2)]

Speaking of ENA, Can We Be Strangers has been slated in for January 2023. The drama stars Kang So-ra (Revolutionary Love) and Jang Seung-jo (The Good Detective 2) as a divorced couple who meet again as fellow divorce lawyers at the same firm. Thankfully, the story is being described as a rom-com with the law office as a backdrop and will have a focus on love and career life in your thirties and forties. Written by Park Jin-ri, PD Kim Yang-hee (Our Blues) is attached to direct. [MBC]
Chae Jong-hyeop (Love All Play) is joining Kim So-hyun (Love Alarm 2) in the new rom-com Is It a Coincidence — a coming-of-age story about love and following your dreams. Directed by PD Song Hyun-wook (Golden Spoon, The King’s Affection) with scripts by Park Geu-ro, the webtoon adaptation is aiming to broadcast next year. [My Daily]

TV Chosun has come out with a new poster as well for Red Balloon, showcasing the main cast: Seo Ji-hye (Adamas), Lee Sung-jae (Show Window: The Queen’s House), Hong Soo-hyun (Police University), Lee Sang-woo (Uncle), and Jung Yoo-min (Twenty Five Twenty One). Premiering December 17 in the weekend slot, production is being led by PD Jin Hyung-wook (Born Again) and writer Moon Young-nam (Revolutionary Sisters). [Newsen]
Also coming in December is tvN’s Missing: The Other Side 2 and new stills have been released featuring leads Go Soo (Missing: The Other Side), Heo Jun-ho (Why Her), Ahn So-hee (Thirty-Nine), and an adorable Lee Jung-eun (Yonder). I love how Lee has been going all in on her looks for each role and it’s cute to see her in ribbons and frills after her more tough and charismatic performances earlier in the year.

KSH and CJH in what sounds like a comfort drama about young people? Yes sign me right up! I miss old simple romcoms!

2. It's really a breathe of fresh air to see a still of that nature, simple and simple and regular. I'd want to see this one more now. After seeing Kim Seo-hyung dressed to the nines in Sky Castle and Mine, I am loving this attire she's in.

4. I like the story description. If they find their way back as a couple, it'll be the icing on the cake.

7. I'm equally digging Lee Jung-eun's looks. She's really having a swell time with the wardrobe of each set she's in.

Kim Seo-Hyun suffered so much with her haircut in Sky Castle, she deserves a confortable one!

I agree.

RED BALLOON, on the other hand, will not be on my watchlist.

I'm so ready for Summer Strike.

ENA is doing so many things I like. Can We Be Strangers had me at Kang So-ra and Jang Seung-jo. I'm glad she's back after marriage and a baby, and he's getting more lead roles.

I need to kick my addiction to trash before Red Balloon comes out.

I'm glad the main cast is back in Missing: The Other Side 2. I didn't even recognize Go Soo.
