On the outside, Baek He
Song looks like the ideal husband, a hard-working craftsman his metalworking
studio has seen its fair share of success, as such he's able to provide a
good life for his wife and daughter and he happens to be an exemplary example of
what a husband should be but this perfect exterior hides some very dark
secrets, secrets he would rather his wife Cha Ji Won never learns.
Unfortunately secrets always have a way of coming out. For hard-hitting homicide
detective, it's Cha Ji Won's job to uncover as many secrets as she can. She
embarks on a dark path that threatens to crumble the very foundations of her
happy life. Determined to bring this evil psychopath to justice, she dives even
deeper into the case only to find that the criminal she's been chasing may have
been standing next to her all along. Yikes! Talk about having skeletons in the
closet. Honesty is always the best policy but I guess that can't be the case when
you're dealing with a psychopath. This will be a Lee Jun Ki's first dramas since
starring in Lawless Lawyer back in 2018. It will also be Moon Chae Won's first
drama since 2018 when she appeared in Mama Fairy and the Woodcutter. The two
have worked together in the Korean adaptation of Criminal Minds which also
aired on tvN.
Was It Love will tell the story of Noh Ae Jung, a movie producer
and single mom who has been living on her own for 14 years. Despite having
already given up on romance, she suddenly finds herself embarking on an unexpected
second chapter of her story when four men walk into her life at the same time.
Hold the phone, this is not a love triangle, not a square... but a love polygon?
Or it could also be better known as a drama with a reverse harem. First up is
Noh Ae Jung's ex-boyfriend Oh Dae Oh, a best-selling novelist who is described
as a charming bad-boy. Oh Dae Oh is irresistibly tempting to women,
even when
they know they should stay away. Secondly, is a million-dollar smile A-lister actor
Ryu Jin, who is described as pitiful? Even though he's great on paper,
despite being seemingly perfect in every way Ryu Jin has a surprisingly different
kind of appeal hiding behind his movie star persona. Next is Oh Yeon Woo who looks
cheerful and confident. A physical education teacher who makes women's
hearts flutter. In spite of his young age he's enduringly pure-hearted desire to
win Noh Ae Jung's affection is certain to win viewers over as well. And last but
not least, Goo Pa Do exudes a tough manly aura as the scary but sexy former
gangster who has turned over a new leaf and is now a CEO. The flower in his hand
hints at the warm heart hiding behind his intimidating exterior. Finally
picking up from behind Ryu Jin as an A list actor Joo Ah Rin will add another
layer of intrigue to this complicated four against one romance. Song Ji Hyo's new
film 'Intruder' recently recorded the highest number of first-day moviegoers
of any Korean film released since the Covid-19 outbreak.
A hard-hitting detective who fearlessly dives into his work, Seo Do
Won is relentless when it comes to bringing criminals to justice. Willing to
take on any case no matter how hard. Do Won one has made a name for himself as a man
who gets the job done but when the woman he loves becomes the latest victim of a

must pay for the sins of his father in one and as a man forced to live a

wasn't hard enough to deal with, he soon learns that his deceased love may be
gone in one world but she is very much alive in the other. Vowing to track down
her killer in one universe while also trying to protect her in the other. Do Won
is quick to acknowledge this is not something he can do alone. Seeking
the help of colleagues in both universes, Do Won asks Han Seo Kyung
an honest yet reserved prosecutor with a big heart in one world and a cold and
emotionless detective in the other to help him out. Together with Lee Jung Min a
tenacious member of the scientific investigation unit, they'll do whatever
it takes to track down the killer in one world and protect his love in the other
but will their efforts in either universe really be enough?
Well so far it looks like 2020 is gonna be the summer of
dramas with suspense, crime, and mystery well for this short list anyway it is.
This drama is about a murder that occurs in a new town which is inhabited by
married couples in their 40s. It follows the story of a group of middle-aged men
after their peaceful everyday lives is interrupted and disrupted. This unique
storyline has already up viewers excitement as it's been likened to
jTBC's mega popular 2018 series Sky Castle. Graceful friends was picked up by jTBC
to air as a follow-up to Itaewon Class and World of Married Couples. As a pre
produced drama that has already wrapped up filming, viewers can look forward to a

It is a comedy about a poor young woman who decides to try her hand
at civil service when she hears that a district representative position with an
annual salary of 50 million Won, ($42,082) has become available. Goo Se Ra is a lower-class woman with a basic
education and below modest finances but she can still talk a good game. Known as
the queen of civil complaints, she is a force to be reckoned with.
She held many positions in the past but none of which have materialized into a
stable source of income. This opening on the district people's councils with that
annual salary of 50 million Won, for a mere 90-day working period, could be the
ticket she's been waiting for to better her circumstances. The sparks start to
fly when the newly demoted Seo Gong Myung and newbie counselor member Goo Se Ra
join forces to penalize corrupt politicians. Nana has accumulated acting
experience through a variety of work such as dramas: The Good Wife,
Kill It, and the movie The Swindlers.
Mysterious cases take place at an
apartment complex which is about to go under some reconstruction. Lee Goong Bok is a
real estate agent that works with the apartments there but she has a
meddlesome type of personality. In Cheol Ho is a veteran detective but like the

everyone's business. The script for She Knows is the work that received an
Excellence Award in the 2019 NBC drama contest.
