Bitch x Rich (Season 2)
The most scandalous high school in K-dramaland is back – and the claws are sharper than ever. Picking up right where the first season’s finale left us dangling, Season 2 dives deeper into the twisted lives of Kim Hye-In and Baek Je-Na. Expect more privilege, more betrayal, and more secrets that will make your jaw drop. Will Hye-In finally get justice, or will money and power win again?

The Nice Guy
Warning: This “nice guy” isn’t what he seems. With slow-burn suspense and a morally grey lead, this revenge-thriller is packed with emotional gut-punches. A classic tale of betrayal, redemption, and secrets best left buried, The Nice Guy will keep you wondering who the real villain is – until it stabs you with the answer.

My Girlfriend Is the Man!
If Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and a modern rom-com had a K-drama baby, this would be it. Gender-bending hijinks, mistaken identities, and chaotic love triangles abound when a woman disguises herself as a man to sneak into a male-only college – and accidentally becomes the campus heartthrob. It’s adorable, hilarious, and refreshingly progressive. Plus, the chemistry? Off the charts.

S Line
Think sleek noir vibes with a dash of crime-solving chaos. S Line follows an elite profiling team that uncovers the psychological threads behind South Korea’s most chilling crimes. Each episode is a maze of motives, lies, and surprising empathy. Come for the murder board aesthetics, stay for the sharp dialogue and even sharper twists. Fans of Beyond Evil and Through The Darkness, this one’s your playground.

Trigger
This dystopian thriller is anything but subtle. Trigger explores a near-future Korea where a mysterious technology can control human behavior with a single command. With shades of Black Mirror and Squid Game, it blends action and social commentary in a plot that’s as addictive as it is alarming. Watch out for layered characters, deep moral dilemmas, and scenes that’ll haunt you long after the credits roll.
