New character posters have dropped for tvN’s Maestra: Strings of Truth, showcasing our intense quartet: Lee Young-ae (Inspector Koo), Lee Moo-saeng (The Glory), Kim Young-jae (Numbers), and Hwang Boreumbyeol (The Secret Romantic Guesthouse). The music-mystery premieres next month on December 9, following Castaway Diva in the weekend slot. [News1]

A new poster has also come out for ENA’s Tell Me You Love Me, with romance blossoming for our melodrama’s leads, Jung Woo-sung (Fly Dragon) and Shin Hyun-bin (Reborn Rich). Adapted from the 1995 Japanese drama by a similar title, the Korean remake will be cozying our hearts later this month on November 27. [MBC]

Ji Chang-wook (The Worst of Evil) may be returning to action pretty soon, going head to head with D.O. (Bad Prosecutor) as our delicious villain in a new revenge series called Sculptured City (roughly translated). With both actors currently in talks, production is in the early stages under filmmaker Kim Chang-joo (Hard Hit) and screenwriter Oh Sang-ho (Taxi Driver 2). [Newsen (1), (2)]
MBC has been busily releasing their 2024 plans and confirmed that Wonderful World has been slotted onto the schedule, which is currently in filming. Starring Kim Nam-joo (Misty), Cha Eun-woo (Good Day to Be a Dog), Kim Kang-woo (Artificial City), and Im Se-mi (The Worst of Evil), the suspense-thriller will be airing in the weekend slot. PD Lee Seung-young (Tracer) is at the helm with scripts by Kim Ji-eun (Lies of Lies). [JTBC]

Speaking of thrillers, TV Chosun’s upcoming My Happy End released stills from the drama’s first script reading, headlined by Jang Nara (Family: The Unbreakable Bond) and Sohn Ho-joon (The First Responders 2). Also starring So Yi-hyun (Red Shoes) and Lee Ki-taek (Perfect Shot), the series will be launching on December 30. [Osen]
It’s double the Ji Chang-wook today, with script reading stills dropping for JTBC’s Welcome to Samdalri – in addition to a new poster of our friends-to-lovers leads. With Shin Hye-sun (See You in My 19th Life) as our heroine, the healing rom-com premieres in just over two weeks, coming to our screens on December 2. [MBC (1), (2)]

Tell Me You Love Me is not as far as I thought. I've waited almost a year for this.

Kim Nam-joo is back.

My Happy End's script reading 🤭🤭🤭🤭. Plus we'll be having one adorable daughter in here.

Tell me you love me and Welcome to Samdalri will be nice to watch alongside each other as it sounds like they will balance each other out mood wise.

How cute is that shot of the actor helping the little girl in the script reading of My happy end😊

Also really looking forward to TELL ME YOU LOVE ME & SAMDALRI. Might start MAESTRA, too, unless it becomes to makyang-y. (The gun and pointy boots scenes in the last teaser were a bit much. Looks a bit as if it was done for provocation/shocks, and I don’t care much for that...)

Oh, the weeks will be busy again… 👏👏👏

I want a busy week too there has been too much tumbleweed mid week for me, so I am spreading my Monday or weekend watches into those days.

Yayh! I was a bit exhausted when I saw it. They *could* make an update, couldn't they?

Episodes 5 and 6 are available on Viki US right now. Both appear to be normal episodes, not specials.

‘Vampire’ is right. She looks downright baby-faced in those glasses.

Just from the way it was phrased, I wasn't sure if it was JCW or D.O. in the villain role, but then I realized I don't actually care. I will be watching if they accept.

JCW would make a really good villain. Hope the writing does him justice.

DO has played a creepy smiling psycho already in ‘I Remember You’, so he can play a villain, I believe.

• Cautiously excited.

• Little more excited. K-drama treatment to a J-drama may result in mixed flavors unless the creatives are clear about their vision.

• There can never be too much of Ji Chang-wook. Do Kyungsoo as delicious villain sounds just about right. 😀 Would love to see Wookie as a delicious villain too rather than an anti-hero which seems likely.

• Will await Beanie response.

• I love Jang Na-ra and the little baby is so cute.

• I love me some Wookie, especially with a side of kelp.
