[Drama chat] Your drama watchlist for 2024
by missvictrix
A new year is upon us and that means a whole new year’s worth of K-dramas to devour — whether that’s the 2024 titles you are anticipating, the 2023 dramas you might have missed, or a selection from the vast and ever-growing K-drama annals.
So, what does your watchlist look like heading into the new year? Here’s mine.
- Current shows you’re keeping up with that will carry into 2024: Like Flowers in Sand (highly recommend!); The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract
- 2023 dramas at the top of the binge list: The Matchmakers; The Interest of Love; secretly want to watch Celebrity but I need a push
- 2024 titles I’m anticipating with open arms: Doctor Slump (let’s make a new classic, people!); the Byun Woo-seok x Kim Hye-yoon drama; I’ll Take the Trip For You (healing travel with Gong Seung-yeon and Kim Jae-young – sold!); and last but not least, the new Ahn Pan-seok drama with Jung Ryeo-won and Wie Ha-joon.

@missvictrix you should watch Celebrity to see Park Kyu-Young in a good role and forgot about A Good Day to Be a Dog! It was quite interesting.
Current shows you’re keeping up with that will carry into 2024: My Demon is pretty fun to enter 2024 with (except they didn't release the episodes >_<)
2023 dramas at the top of the binge list: @missvictrix you should watch these 3 shows!!! For Celebrity, Park Kyu-Young was stunning in this role! Way better than in the Dog show.
2024 titles I’m anticipating with open arms: Doctor Slump, hoping there won't be too many teenagers scenes, the Byun Woo-seok x Kim Hye-yoon drama too (there will be Lee Seung-Hyub too); I’ll Take the Trip For You, Queen of Tears with Kim Soo-Hyun and Kim Ji-Won, I'm really excited for this pair, Jung Hae-In and Jung So-Min, for the same reason!

Current shows you’re keeping up with that will carry into 2024: The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract, Tell Me That You Love Me, & My Demon - I’m so glad these are carrying into the new year!! It makes me so happy!! Gyeonsong Creature ‘part two’ & The Dog Show I’m lukewarm about but I want to finish it and Between Him & Her, well the one episode that’s out was pretty good so will be carrying on with this one too in 2024.
2023 dramas at the top of the binge list : The Matchmakers for sure!! And also Happiness because I never got round to watching that properly.
2024 titles I’m anticipating with open arms : Sweet Home Season 3 (insert fangirl screaming) - I’m so excited to see part three and also so sad because then That’s It 😭 Others on this list - All of Us Are Dead 2, Wi Ha-joon romance drama (!!!), the Honey Lee sageuk who’s name is escaping me right now, A Shop For Killers, the cop one with Ahn Bo-hyun, and not a K-drama but the Avatar live action on Netflix! I think there’s also a new Go Min-si drama & a new Woo Do-hwan drama releasing sometime in 2024?!

Current shows:
Welcome to Samdalri. Still behind at episode 5 but really enjoying the friend group moments and wish I had people to return to from my youth who cared so much about me.
My Demon. Also behind at episode 5 but just funny and pretty enough to look at to keep going.
Goryeo Khitan War. It helps that I know no Korean so I am not bothered by the subs. Totally caught up and thought KDJ did a great scene when he broke down in front of the farmers who were trying to kill him as he realized how inept his government has been in taking care of his people from the suffering and abuse by the regional lords.
Binge plan: Perfect Marriage Revenge and maybe a rewatch of Matchmaker with the family who hadn’t seen this gem yet.
Looking forward to: Doctor Slump- teasers suggest a funny enemy to lovers trope. Crossing all fingers and toes it lives up to the hype. Also isn’t the IU Park Bo Geum show coming out sometime in 2024?

Apart from a few that I already know are coming up (Marry My Husband [no thanks, I think?] and Doctor Slump [please be awesome]), I actually don't know what's ahead at all...so I'm watching what all the rest of you post to find out!!

Omg, we're still not done with the lists?)))
Current shows you’re keeping up with that will carry into 2024: GORYEO-KHITAN WAR (I'll catch up with it, I promise!), idk about AGDTBAD anymore, LIKE FLOWERS IN SAND (it didn't wow me - yet? - but my watch list is empty enough to hang on for a little longer).
2023 dramas at the top of the binge list: None, and I sincerely doubt that would change for I'm royally fed up with 2023's everything at this point lmao.
2024 titles I’m anticipating with open arms: *long pained sigh* No kdrama so far - there's a few I'm willing to give a try (DR SLUMP, QUEEN WOO, whatever my faves will throw at me - unless it stinks from afar, sorry), but open arms? You're asking too much from me while giving too little in return, kdramaland! All shows I'm sincerely anticipating belong to cdrama pool (dad's gonna be sooo proud of me here, we've had an epic fight over kdramas vs cdramas issue once lol): WHITE CAT LEGEND (when?! it has the license since freaking November!), FOLLOW YOUR HEART (most likely summer *sad*), THE STRANGE TALES OF TANG DYNASTY 2 (yass!), any LYN's show that gets to air (but seriously, THE PRISONER OF BEAUTY, pls come to us against all odds!). High-key doubt that LYX's SHUI LONG YIN will come out in 2024 despite platform's claim, but if it magically will, I'm seated ofc.

Hope dies last. There's a lot of rumors claiming it's gonna drop with no promos somewhere in January-February, which is technically not 100% impossible since FL's investigation haven't reached any conclusion yet so there's this tiny loophole potentially allowing it to air. If Tencent dares ofc. It's a very expensive project after all so people kinda bet on platform's greed here)))

Of course I did! That was the highlight of this NYE for me, honestly. Had this passing thought when I first heard about him performing that it would be cool to do so in NYZ's getup - and look, great minds think alike! Hire me as your event planner, boy, I'll do well!
If I'm like few weeks older than him, where does it fit in Chinese honorifics system btw - should I address him with xiao- or that counts as same age so nothing extra needed? Ning-ge sounds way cuter, but... my dignity... *seriously confused* Exactly the thing to ponder about while tipsy on Jan1's morning, right?)))
On a serious note, his tears during performance has been trending like Hellfire ever since. It's on the top spot currently. ABOVE NY's congratulations topic. Wow. Someone's gonna wake up famous))) *plays Fame*

Liudao Hall, Ning Yuanzhou!!! Squeeeeeeeee... (Im guessing that's what he said.)
I was moved to tears watching him cry during the song. His love for his character was palpable, and it saddened me to think that it might be his final performance in costume. 😥
I'm older than him, too, but I love how Yang Ying calls him Yuanzhou Gēgē.
Sorry, I don't know much about Chinese honorifics. I don't know how to address him other than Liu xiān sheng or shaoye if he wears historical costumes. LOL
Xiao is not a good fit either so Idk.

December 31, 2023 at 10:51 PM
Yep, that's exactly what he was saying. Right in the feels - guess he learned from RRY how to fatally stab people with his words too)))
So I've been
drunkbored enough last night to go dig translations of his live-streams, and he was talking about drama in one of them. That he was shown an editing draft of first 10 episodes maybe and: a) got stunned by how attractive he looked on screen lol, b) couldn't sleep well that night due to excitement despite being tired. How cute))) Plus called NYZ "a perfect character he met at the perfect time", which sums it up pretty well, in my opinion.YY absolutely CAN call him that unironically though - he's twice her age ffs! They're like an uncle and niece or maybe cousins with a big age gap. Given that their mothers were friends, cousins probably is the most fitting analogy.
This reminded me that NYZ and RRY mostly called each other just by first names, aside of "Chief Ning" (when she was mad at him) and "My Ruyi" (when he was being territorial). How outrageously explicit of you, show!^^
Gikata
January 1, 2024 at 11:00 AM
And another funny tidbit for a good measure, because why not? To keep the joyful festive mood and all)))
Title would be "When method acting backfires"^^ Apparently during filming LYN was constantly irrationally annoyed by a certain actor because of the latter's role. The reason for such intense feels? "Dude keeps making moves on MY WIFE! Logically I know that it's just acting and he's nice guy irl, but still, how can I be chill about it? That's MY WIFE!" Taking some offenses personally, I see))) It wasn't specified which drama he talked about, but only TPOB and AJTL fit the details, and I'm personally leaning towards AJTL because duh... No wonder NYZ's jealous scenes were so convincing lol.

THE LONG BALLAD is on YT, just search the title and choose Huace TV playlist, that's the official upload. Don't forget to check out comments, they're such a riot)))
They're currently filming that one. Wasn't initially sold with his tribal (seems like his character is a foreigner) styling, but something must be going on with my eyes since I like it more and more as the time passes lol. At the very least it's gonna be a fresh look for him. First promo is all kinds of SPICY: https://i.mydramalist.com/0wbKAE_3f.jpg
The whole controversy is weird ngl, but when did fanwars ever make sense? Main issues are apparently that: a) her management messed up this and that so fans wanted her to drop the project altogether, but she adamantly refused to, and now they have no choice but to suck it up and vent their anger elsewhere, b) he's been recently revealed to have a short marriage a decade ago and they don't wanna ship their precious babygirl with such "impure" guy anymore. How Victorian *rolls eyes* Everything afterwards was a monkey circus better to be left forgotten. Is the premise fun? Yes. Do they still have that chemistry? Looks like it. Well, that's more than enough for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ning Yuanzhou is a great character and I am glad to know him through the role. He will forever be NYZ to me.
I am just curious what other type of character he can create. I couldnt last more than an episode of Legend of Anle, not because of him though but other things.
Required fields are marked *
Gikata
January 2, 2024 at 2:29 PM
Lmao apparently even his hardcore fans struggled with LOA, I'm almost intrigued to personally check just how bad it is)))
I believe he's got quite a range as an actor. Part of this range is still on potential side and needs serious polishing ofc, but it IS there - in his performance, his vibe, even his visuals that can be easily tweaked to achieve VERY different results. He's naturally gifted for this career path - perhaps not as much as for singing with that terrific voice of his, but for being a leading man in right shows and roles? Absolutely.
So you haven't seen THE LONG BALLAD yet? I liked his part there a lot - it's small and greenish (his first ever costume drama), but once again he fleshed out his role enough to make people care (and ship him with his love interest HARD). Not to mention jaw dropping character development - at some point folks literally questioned whether it's still the same actor^^ I didn't vibe much with rest of the show, but many liked it. There's time stamps link for his cut in case if you need one...
Gikata
January 2, 2024 at 12:55 PM
NYZ surely was THE star role for him, I get what you're talking about in terms of how hard it would be to move on from that... No way will I ever be able to fully shake off the fond memories of our Liudao Hall Chief whenever I see or hear him lol.
But at the same time I'm REALLY curious about what else he has in store, you know? And for me curiosity always tops everything else. That's why I especially hope that TPOB airs soon somehow - because not only it was filmed AFTER AJTL (meaning that it won't be "trip to the past" in terms of his skills/experience), but also he fits and understands the novel's character so damn well (boy claims to not read the book fully, but from his comments I smell the coquettish lies, he-he), and I'm 300% here for this extreme
mood whiplashduality. With two back to back similar roles I'd have my reservations too, but these guys have so little in common beyond skin-deep "tall, badass and monogamous" leading man archetype, it's meme-worthy level of hilarious. I'm not joking about memes btw - saw some where NYZ judges Wei Shao's mood swings, absolutely hysterical)))Required fields are marked *

Current shows you’re keeping up with that will carry into 2024: MY DEMON, GYEONGSEONG CREATURE, LIKE FLOWERS IN SAND, and WELCOME TO SAMDAL-RI.
2023 dramas at the top of the binge list: THE MATCHMAKERS, A GOOD DAY TO BE A DOG, THE STORY OF PARK'S MARRIAGE CONTRACT, and TWINKLING WATERMELON. Possibly PERFECT MARRIAGE REVENGE if one of the streaming services I subscribe to offers it.
2024 titles I’m anticipating with open arms: KNIGHT FLOWER, DOCTOR SLUMP, and A SHOP FOR KILLERS.

A Good Day To Be a Dog feels like a good binge drama. It's got enough to it that I get invested at times and I like the main couple, but it's not so good I don't love pressing ff the moment I'm bored. Binging it makes it feel worth it since I can still sit down and watch a lot in a shorter span of time.

I think he's an amazing actor objectively and very pleasing on eyes and ears subjectively, but a lot of people dislike him quite a bit for variety of reasons, starting with his looks (two words - skinny-shaming. ugh). From technical standpoint: he dubs himself and is constantly praised for it, does his own stunts - and how! - thanks to his ballet prodigy roots, has a huge range from comedy to like super heavy melo, commonly recognized as "costume drama god" because he wears hanfu like he was born in it and so on... I love me a Renaissance man actor ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He never did a Tang dynasty drama before, so that's gonna be a challenge kind of, but I'm 100% positive he'll do well as long as the script allows him to. My main concern is chemistry with FL tbh because he's one of those guys who need a receptive costar to make it work. When he's lucky to get one, he's fire, but when he's not... He's like LJG cdrama style lol (but a significantly better kisser).

Thank you!
I've seen the FL in Joy of Life, The Disguiser, and Luoyang. These are heavier dramas, and she was capable as a supporting character, except her character in Luoyang was rather annoying, but It's more on the writing.
I hope it'll work out.

If anything, the Tang Dynasty setting should actually be better for him. The costuming should be wonderful.
That does not answer the FL problem though.

December 31, 2023 at 1:58 PM
@kiara you're always welcome)))
I've seen her in DESTINED, based on which I believe she's cute and fine acting-wise but that's not enough to give me a sure answer on whether she and LYX will be able to click together. That remains to be seen. Hopeful point is that she's no dead fish smoocher either at least
unlike his latest FL who legit looked like she'd rather eat worms than have the man's lips near hers.Gikata
December 31, 2023 at 2:38 PM
@oldawyer hmm, that's debatable - I know many people had issues with his insane bling-bling xianxia aesthetics in TTEOTM, but I did not, and that's to put it MILDLY, heh. Overall Tang is not my all-time favorite dynasty in terms of fashion, esp male one (no manes of glory, how dare they!). Scarce promo pics/vids look nice though, I love the color in this one:

I think that the Tang Dynasty Costumes for the men tend to make for simply lines. Because they are less busy the actor's expressions and body language become more expressive. I think of it as a simple elegance.
Gikata
January 1, 2024 at 10:36 AM
@oldawyer never thought about it that way, but you're onto something here for sure. Elegance is a good thing. Anything is better than Ming dynasty ones - those are just... comfy, I guess)))

Current shows you’re keeping up with that will carry into 2024: "Like Flowers in Sand," "The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract," "My Demon."
2023 dramas at the top of the binge list: I'm ashamed to admit this here on DB, but I haven't watched the final four episodes of "Perfect Marriage Revenge" yet. I need to be in the right mood to binge them and for some reason, that hasn't occurred. Also, "Welcome to SamSomething." I know I will watch this at some point, but probably not until there's a dearth of romantic dramas. Same with "Tell Me You Love Me."
2024 titles I’m anticipating with open arms: Nothing is exciting me that much yet, but that often happens, and then I end up being shocked at how much I love a drama once it airs (this happened most notably with both Rowoon dramas last year).
I'm also interested in "Death's Game, Part II." I saw some critiques here that the cast is the only good thing about this drama, but I've been impressed with the overall narrative structure. It's very dark and violent, but the writing is good.

Indeed @kiara.
However the current sageuk deluge continues in January. I count three sageuks with January, 2024 premiers:
1. KBS’s LOVE SONG FOR ILLUSION (Viki US). (Park Ji-hoon, Hong Ye-ji). M/T. 16 eps. Episode one airs Jan. 2.
2 MBC’s FLOWER THAT BLOOMS AT NIGHT/KNIGHT FLOWER. (Honey Lee, Lee Jong-won). F/S. 12 eps. Episode one airs Jan. 12.
3. tvN’s CAPTIVATING THE KING/SEJAK. (Jo Jung-suk, Shin Se-kyung). S/S. 16 eps. Episode one airs Jan. 21.
(MDL is my source for airing dates.)
As of today only No. 1 has an announced legal US steam.
Soon I hope to provide an updated list of possible upcoming sageuks and period dramas.
I just discovered that Rowoon’s upcoming sageuk MURKY WATER/TAKRYU will supposedly air on Disney+ so there is another I won’t be watching. Oh well.

I am going to watch LIKE FLOWERS IN SAND, probably on my own as my wife is not much into sports dramas.
As I am a big History buff, I will continue to watch THE GORYEO-KHITAN WAR despite is flaws.
I will also continue to watch the weekender LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE.
Wild horses and herds of elephants could not stop me from watching the daily UNPREDICTABLE FAMILY which is on its way to becoming The Greatest Daily of All Time.
Shows that my wife and I will soon be getting back to, although we are still maybe two weeks away from her being comfortable with subtitles again:
MY DEMON has my wife’s favorite Kdrama actress (and she is also a favorite of mine as well) and seeing the DB comments has made me all the more anxious to return to it.
THE MATCHMAKERS of course. I already knew that this was one of the best shows of 2023.
THE STORY OF PARK’S MARRIAGE CONTRACT.
WELCOME TO SAMDAL-RI. If only because of my personal very favorite actress in any language.
Upcoming shows:
Definitely DR SLUMP.
Maybe MARRY MY HUSBAND which I had thought would be coming to Netflix, but it is not showing yet, even though it starts tomorrow. It was also supposed to be on Prime but is not showing yet- although there is a YouTube trailer indicating Prime as the place to find it. On the other hand, the plot concept is so similar to PERFECT MARRIAGE REVENGE that another thought I have is that it is unlikely that the second show could possibly top the first which was actually one of the best dramas of 2023.

It sounds like the postponements of My Demon and Park's Marriage were well timed for you.
Amazon's search function continues to be its own worst enemy. Searching for "marry my husband k drama" - which was suggested by the search bar - produced nothing, while just "marry my husband" returned it as the top hit. It does not appear to be on Netflix US.
All the best for your wife's continuing recovery.

As I always seem to be a year (or more) behind on dramas, my watch list for 2024 includes Matchmakers, My Lovely Boxer, Flowers in the Sand and Fake It Till You Make It. I will make a shorter period of subscription to Iqiyi to watch Here Comes Trouble, Mysterious Lotus Casebook and Destined.
On account of Bai Jing Ting, I need to reactivate my VPN to watch the Rise of Phoenixes on Netflix and watch Hidden Love while at it.
I would really like to watch Boyhood as well but it doesn't seem to be available in northern Europe.
My Demon carries me into 2024 as well as my unfinished projects Stove League, Mr Sunshine and Three-body (I'm finding the novel very engaging).
And my biggest wish for 2024 is a new costume drama with Luo Yun Xi, he's just poetry in motion. If one might be so bold, perhaps together with a very gray area villained Wang Duo. 😍

open armsa sigh at my monthly streaming service bills:Dr. Slump - medical dramas aren't my thing at all, so I'm hoping the blood-and-guts aspect is minimal, but I'm determined to find out who this Park Hyung-shik guy is and why people like him so much.
Queen of Tears - check out that cast and production team list.
Possibly Flex x Cop when I feel like punching someone.

Youku’s THE HOPE (30 eps) is available subbed (free) on Youku’s Youtube channel. I have watched 17 episodes so far and love it. Zhang Ruo Yun’s magic strikes again.
MyDramaList has a link for viewing BLOSSOMS SHANGHAI.
I hope this helps.

Death's game.
Anything else has no importance for now. (I'll check later).
Here the best song of the drama, without MV (so, no spoiler):

Prepare a handkerchief.
Parasyte: The Grey (2024)
Sounds like an adaptation of the J-manga, but:
- I've read the j-manga.
- I watched the j-anime.
- I watched the j-movie.
lol!
I'll try to catch-up with some dramas:
Call It Love
May I help you

Hehe here we go^^ I was super happy when a recent DB post said 2024 was shaping up to be the year of the cop, since cop shows are my bread and butter. That said, the last few months have revitalized my love for other genres, so I'm also super looking forward to a good rom com or healing drama. Hopefully I've already got a few to binge that will fit that bill as well.
2023 Dramas I'm just finishing up/carried into 2024
One Dollar Lawyer
Good Day to Be a Dog
My Demon
Gyeongsong Creature
Past Dramas to Binge in 2024
*note: this would essentially be my entire "Plan to Watch" list on MDL, but I'm condensing it for my top picks
Like Flowers in the Sand (2023)
My Lovely Boxer (2023)
Moving (2023)
Tell Me That you Love Me (2023)
Kidnapping Day (2023)
Summer Strike (2022)
Kill It (2019)
Upcoming 2024 Dramas I'm Excited For
*note: I'm not sure if all these are 2024 dramas since MDL says 0000 on some, but I'm hopeful to see them soon!
Chief Inspector: The Beginning (LJH as a detective again, interest in the prequel to the legendary show)
Alone in the Woods (the premise is just mysterious enough to be super intriguing to me)
Connection (JiSung as a detective. JiSung. Yeah. I might even pick up Devil Judge again since I quite liked it although it was different than what I thought it would be).
Knight Flower (because Matchmakers was funny and I want another funny Sageuk)
Parasyte: The Grey (because a beanie had it on their list and I looked it up and it looks awesome. Thanks @ryunami
S Line (no idea if this is still coming out but the premise looks funny)
The Bequeathed (I'm SO HERE for this drama. Give me those dead bodies and shaman rites)
When the Stars Gossip/Ask the Stars (the set for a love story sounds interesting, although I'm not a huge LMH fan. Again, no idea if it'll get released this year)
Mr. Plankton (it's the name, not gonna lie)
The Sense (gotta love me a spooky drama)
Goodbye Earth (not sure if this is coming in 2024 or ever but the premise looks interesting)
Nana Tour with Seventeen (because I'm living my best diamond life)
2024 Dramas I'm Iffy about but will check out
A Killer Paradox
FlexxCop
Everything Will Come True
Hunter with a Scalpel
Wonderful World
