1. Mr. Sunshine

Following the famous dramas "Descendant of the Sun" and "Goblin", writer Kim Eun-sook and director Lee Eung-bok struck again with their 3rd collaboration: "Mr. Sunshine". The series plunges us into Korean resistance during the final days of the Joseon Kingdom, one of the darkest periods in the nation's history.

There he meets a young aristocrat who secretly fights for Korea's independence. Needless to say, he quickly falls under her charm…

We shift gears now with a K-drama halfway between romance, science fiction, and absurd humor. The premise?

Meanwhile, the young woman finds herself caught in an unlikely love triangle with her boss and a police officer. Just the thing to add some spice to the plot!
