A new poster has arrived for ENA’s upcoming Lies Hidden in My Garden, with our two leading ladies Kim Tae-hee (Hi Bye, Mama!) and Im Ji-yeon (The Glory) curiously donning the same pink scarf. Slated to air on June 19, the suspense-thriller has PD Jung Ji-hyun (Twenty Five Twenty One, Search Query: WWW) at the helm and scripts penned by Ji Ah-ni. [Newsen]

More stills have come out for tvN’s See You in My 19th Life, this time featuring Ha Yoon-kyung (Extraordinary Attorney Woo), sister to Shin Hye-sun (Mr. Queen) in her 18th life. Also starring Ahn Bo-hyun (Yumi’s Cells 2) and Ahn Dong-goo (The Law Cafe), the fantasy romance begins on June 17. [News1]
The cameo lineup has been announced for the Japanese novel adaptation I Will Travel for You, which has Gong Seung-yeon (The First Responders), Yoo Joon-sang (Alchemy of Souls), and Kim Jae-young (Love in Contract) headlining the series. The guest appearances include Jin Gu (Shadow Detective), Ha Suk-jin (Blind), Jung Man-shik (Cafe Minamdang), Kim Hye-hwa (Payback), and Lee Il-hwa (Eve). [Newsen]

A cute new poster has dropped for KBS’s Heartbeat, showcasing our vampire hero Taecyeon (Blind) and a not-so-cold-hearted Won Ji-ahn (If You Wish Upon Me) sneaking smooches under the moonlight. Also kitty! With one more month to go, the supernatural fantasy will be making all our hearts aflutter come June 26. [Newsen]
The upcoming youth drama Bitch X Rich released a new poster as well, featuring the main four leads: Lee Eun-saem (Cheer Up), Red Velvet’s Yeri, Lee Jong-hyuk (Cheer Up), and Yoo Jung-hoo. Launching later this month on May 31, production is being led by PD Min Ji-young (User Not Found) with writing by Jung Sung-eun. [Sports Kyunghyang]

Just ahead of the premiere on May 24, Wavve released a slew of teasers for the upcoming One Day Off, including an ASMR edit. Starring Lee Na-young (Romance Is a Bonus Book) as our traveling heroine, the videos also feature guest stars Han Ye-ri (Hometown), Gu Kyo-hwan (Monstrous), and Park In-hwan (It’s Beautiful Now). [MBC]
Over on the JTBC front, King the Land delivered new character stills of Junho (King the Land) and Yoon-ah (Big Mouth), and it’s nice to see them outside of work attire. The rom-com is set to premiere on June 17, following Doctor Cha in the weekend slot. [MBC (1), (2)]

They're finally showing the second leads' promo materials for See You in my 19th Life! So happy to see Cho-won, and I assume this means Do-yun will be featured shortly.

Wait, I just saw on Soompi that she's a landscaper in the drama? That's a big change from the webcomic, lol.

I'm so loving the poster in 1.

2. Ha Yoon-kyung's stills🤭🤭🤭

3. Okayyyyyy.

One Day Off is formerly Ha-kyung's Travels. I don't know but this new title seems more like pointing to all our would-be our guests more than to our titular character.

I agree that the new King The Land stills are a breathe of fresh air both for our characters and for me.

Happen to accidentally saw Lies Hidden in My Garden's trailer - I am quite impressed with the production quality! The nuance, the angle, the tone, the impressive set, it's as if I am watching one of the Netflix originals! Hopefully, ENA will pull the rating off this time!

Am I the only one seeing the Heartbeat poster as having Meow the secret boy vibes. Thankfully the letters in the poster show the coffin and bats otherwise suckers like me would have been putting that on the watchlist not knowing it has scary elements. It must be so hard to use a picture to sell a 16 part drama.
See you in my 19th life equally has no signs of the thriller/mystery elements in those stills it conveys an episode of Once upon a small town to me. Maybe the balance will be mainly the friendships with a side of the fantasy mystery.
One day off and King the land are staying on the watchlist so far.

Ha Yoonkyung is giving genuine spring sunshine vibes here! Will definitely be keeping an eye out for the drama because the cast and premise is really promising 🥺

I'm so excited about 마당이 있는 집 (House with a Yard aka Lies Hidden in my Garden) because it's one of my favorite books that I've read in Korean. It's really interesting psychologically, very twisty. Can't wait!

Lies Hidden in My Garden - I'm sooooo looking forward to this. I have June 19th marked on my calendar. Any idea where this is stream in the USA?
The director did 25 21, Search WWW, Mr. Sunshine - all tops in my book. I'm looking forward to Jung Ji-Hyun (director) ripping out my heart and crushing it slowly with a fork. Bring it on!
