March 2024 Korean drama offerings should please everyone, but particularly fans of mystery thrillers and comedies, as all the upcoming K-Dramas seem to fit into these two categories. Some bring fantasy, some bring healing, and some bring romance. And there’s even one where the female lead turns into a chicken nugget!
If you loved Crash Landing on You, you will want to check out the writer’s latest work, Queen of Tears, starring Kim Soo Hyun from It’s Okay to Not Be Okay and the writer’s earlier drama My Love from the Star and Kim Ji Won (My Liberation Notes). This drama will also guest star Song Joong Ki (Vincenzo, Reborn Rich) who will make a special appearance in support of his friendship with Kim Ji Won.
