One other 12 months means wanting forward at the entire thrilling new dramas coming our approach within the new 12 months. Per custom, I look forward at first of the 12 months at the entire rumored/confirmed upcoming kdramas and discuss them. This week it is going to be the Korean dramas and subsequent week would be the cdramas. I do not assume I’m going to be speaking about the entire different nations as a result of there’s not loads of them that I find out about. I would change my thoughts and do a particular blogpost/podcast episode however for now we’re solely going to take a look at the upcoming Kdramas and Cdramas for 2025. Similar to I did final 12 months, I might be beginning this publish in February 2025 as a result of I have already listed the January Kdramas that I plan to observe and that I’m excited for in my December 2024 Wrap Up blogpost which you’ll be able to learn right here (Spoiler Alert: there weren’t that many Kdramas in January 2025 I used to be wanting ahead too and SOME HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE JANUARY LINEUP EVEN AFTER I WROTE THAT!)
LET’S GET STARTED!! HERE IS MY LIST OF SOME THE KDRAMAS I AM EXCITED FOR IN 2025!!
Only a fast notice, I do not know if all of those dramas will air in 2025. I’ll put them on this checklist as a result of it’s rumored, they are going to air in 2025. I’ll embrace premiere dates if I do know them, however these are topic to alter. I may even embrace posters/footage if they’ve launched posters/footage already. We are going to see what occurs. This checklist is in no specific order. This checklist might sound shorter than different years. I’m positive there are some dramas which are being made or simply haven’t been introduced to be airing in 2025. There additionally was that information article that stated that South Korea is simply not making as many Kdramas as they used too so, we may be seeing the impact of that in 2025. We must see how 2025 goes. In any case, listed below are a number of the 2025 Kdramas that I’m excited for!
PREMIERE DATE: February 7, 2025
Any Kdrama that has zombies in it, SIGN ME UP! South Korea does zombies so effectively! Given the truth that I’m nonetheless ready for All of Us Are Lifeless Season 2 and Kingdom Season 3, I’m hoping this Kdrama will tide me over. I’m additionally curious in regards to the forged particularly Park Jeong Min and Kim Ji Soo who’re enjoying our primary lead couple. One other factor that pulls me in the direction of this drama are the screenwriters. One screenwriter was the screenwriter for A Store for Killers and the opposite was the screenwriter for the Korean film Parasite. I NEED THE FIRST TRAILER FOR THIS DRAMA!
PREMIERE DATE: February 14, 2025
This drama won’t be for everybody. I do know lots of people will click on play on it as a result of Park Hyung Sik is in it. SBS launched the primary trailer of this drama throughout their awards ceremony that happened in December. It seems to be like it’ll be a political, corruption probably revenge heavy drama. Heo Joon Ho is on this and for my part, such a superb actor so, I’m excited to see him go towards Park Hyung Sik on this. The trailer seemed intense. I’m excited to see these two sq. off.
PREMIERE DATE: February 15, 2025
I’m actually uncertain what this drama is meant to be about however that’s in all probability why I’m intrigued by it. I’ll undoubtedly be checking this out to see what it’s if I get entry to it. From the synopsis, this drama seems like a romance drama BUT the tags and style that MDL has for this drama is thriller, romance and investigation. So, I’m inclined to consider that that is romance with homicide blended into it. WHICH YOU GUYS KNOW I AM HERE FOR! It’s also a plus that Park Jin Younger is on this. I’m excited to see him again in dramaland in 2025 after getting out of the army. We must wait and see if we get entry to this on a platform. The one factor I’m cautious with is that supposedly this drama was shot a few years in the past and is simply popping out in 2025.
PREMIERE DATE: April, 2025
So, this drama caught my eye for 3 causes. Kim Soo Hyun stars in it and I’ve not seen any of his dramas since 2020. I’m nonetheless ready for entry to his drama One Extraordinary Day as a result of I heard it’s wonderful. This drama does apparently have 2 seasons, so, I would look ahead to each seasons to be launched earlier than watching it. Another excuse is that is going to be a Disney + drama. Now in 2024, Disney + launched loads of my favourite dramas. The platform appears to be going the darker, crime route AND I AM HERE FOR IT! Now, one factor about this drama offers me pause and it’s that there’s a comedy style connected to this so, I’m going to need to see the primary trailer earlier than deciding to observe this or not. THE CAST THOUGH LOOKS GREAT FOR THIS DRAMA! The third cause is that this drama takes place across the IMF disaster which I do not know a lot about so, I’m intrigued to be taught extra about it.
PREMIERE DATE: April, 2025
LITERALLY THE ONLY REASON I AM INTERESTED IN THIS IS THE CAST! The genres give me pause as a result of it’s a comedy, romance, drama so, I would skip this drama BUT THE CAST LOOKS FANTASTIC! First off, I’ve not seen a drama with Lee Da Hee in it for at the least 2 years so, I’m excited to see her in a drama forged once more. To see her working alongside Lee Dong Wook, MAN THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF PRETTY ON THE SCREEN! I’m actually inquisitive about their chemistry. Additionally, Kim Received Hae is on this forged and he has by no means steered me improper. If he’s in a forged, you recognize that drama goes to be good. So, I’m undoubtedly at the least including this to the checklist to take a look at so long as the trailer seems to be good to me.
One other drama that has comedy paired with thriller and regulation. I must see a trailer to find out if I’m 100% going to observe this. There are three the reason why I’m on this drama although. The screenwriter wrote each seasons of D.P. which had been incredible. The forged is one more reason. I really like the three leads for this drama. We all know all three can do comedy very effectively. The final cause is it is a thriller/regulation drama with ghosts. SIGN ME UP! I really like when we’ve Korean dramas that cope with ghosts. They normally have a superb monitor report with me. I simply have to see that first trailer to make certain.
PREMIERE DATE: June, 2025
I’m kind of on the fence with this drama, however I’m including it to the checklist anyway. The premise of the drama sounds good to me. You bought a bunch of ex-Olympians who be part of the police drive. I just like the forged of this drama, and I’m wanting ahead to seeing them work collectively. The one factor I’m just a little hesitant about is it does have the tag of comedy connected to it. Typically that works for me with crime dramas and typically it would not. We must wait and see a trailer for me to 100% resolve if I’m going to observe this one.
PREMIERE DATE: July, 2025
SIGN ME UP IMMEDIATELY FOR THIS DRAMA! SBS launched a trailer of this drama AND I AM HERE FOR IT! First off, MY BOY, Jang Dong Yoon is on this, and I’ve beloved SO MANY OF HIS DRAMAS! I LOVE THAT HE IS DOING A DARK SERIAL KILLER DRAMA! The trailer for this drama seems to be darkish, creepy and INTENSE! All the pieces about this drama SCREAMS ME! You’ve the son of serial killer who’s now a cop who has to work along with his serial killer mom to resolve a present-day copycat crime. I simply know Jang Dong Yoon goes to KILL this function.
PREMIERE DATE: June 27, 2025
I’ve not watched Squid Recreation Season 2 but. I plan to this month BUT it was introduced this previous week that Squid Recreation Season 3 (the ultimate season) is popping out a while in 2025. Supposedly it’s June 27, 2025. One other rumor is that Season 3 takes place sooner or later by like 5 to 10 years which intrigues me. I feel I’ll have extra opinions about Season 3 as soon as I watch Season 2. I favored Season 1 loads after I first watched it so, I assume I’m going to take pleasure in Season 2 and Season 3.
The synopsis and forged are what caught my eye for this drama. This drama seems to be prefer it might have some excessive fantasy occurring. The synopsis is about how the 12 zodiacs got here all the way down to the human world and took the type of people to reserve it. Every of them has powers they usually need to combat towards the forces of evil to guard the human world. THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT HAS A LOT OF POTENTIAL! THE CAST IN THIS DRAMA IS STACKED!! Everyone seems to be on this, and it seems to be like it’ll be loads of enjoyable. I really like a superb ensemble drama.
All I’m going to say is Lee Je Hoon with white hair. The primary trailer and photographs of Lee Je Hoon on this drama LOOK SO GOOD! He has white hair, and it fits him SO WELL! Lee Je Hoon is the rationale why I’m on this. He can do comedy however may do critical very effectively. He’s one among my favourite actors FOR SURE! I can not get a way but if this drama goes to be a comedy or have a extra critical tone. I’m inclined to assume it is going to be critical, however I’m not positive. MDL would not give loads away. The synopsis simply reads it follows a legendary negotiator and his staff. That’s about it. Simply that and Lee Je Hoon being a silver fox on this drama.
I’m on this drama for 2 causes. The forged is one cause. We received Jeon Do Yeon and Kim Go Eun as the 2 feminine leads. On prime of that we received some incredible male leads on this which embrace Park Hae Soo and Jin Seon Kyu. Even the help forged seems to be nice. This drama sounds darkish and probably creepy. This seems like it is going to be a ladies lead drama which I’m HERE FOR! With these two actresses, teaming up in a darkish thriller, I’m excited to see their chemistry collectively. That is the drama the place they switched leads which led to the delay within the drama so, that made me much more curious of what this drama is.
The synopsis mentions the primary feminine lead is a forensic investigator. I AM IN! Not a lot is understood about this drama but. Park Ju Hyun stars in it. We all know she will do a darkish thriller drama. We all know she is a forensic investigator. In accordance with the synopsis, her character suffers from delinquent persona dysfunction and supposedly she killed her father. Soompi says that she might be investigating against the law that factors to her father being the assassin and he or she now has to cover her previous and connection to him. Apparently, her father is a serial killer in accordance with Soompi. Regardless of the synopsis is, it’s a darkish crime thriller and it’s on my checklist.
Apparently, this drama has been accomplished for some time, at the least a 12 months. Not a lot is understood about it although. The feminine lead is a surgeon in accordance with the tags on MDL. We all know it’s a thriller crime drama. I’m excited for the forged. We received loads of heavy hitters that I do know do effectively in darkish, crime dramas.
Three issues immediately caught my consideration with this drama. The primary cause is clear, we received a STACKED forged. DO and Ji Chang Wook teaming up for an motion thriller. GIVE IT TO ME NOW! Lee Kwang Soo is a good addition to the forged as effectively. One other fascinating this that caught my eye is that that is the drama that’s supposedly the remake of the Korean Film Fabricated Metropolis – WHICH IS A FANTASTIC KOREAN MOVIE! I extremely suggest this film if yow will discover it. I ought to seek for it and see if it on a authorized streaming website someplace and rewatch it earlier than this comes out. I’ve not seen the film in a very long time. Lastly, it’s Disney _ which I already talked about how is popping into my go to for darkish kdramas since 2024.
I swear I’ve been listening to about this drama for at the least a 12 months, possibly 2 years now. Something Kim Nam Gil is in; I’ll watch it. I can not actually image what the aesthetic of this drama might be. It has the tags like Catastrophe and suspense however then additionally Noir. So, we must wait and see the way it seems to be. I WANT SUITS! That’s my want for this drama. In any case, I might be checking this drama out. It’s an motion crime thriller a few cop going up towards a gangster having to do with the promoting of weapons in South Korea.
Disney + bringing one other thriller to the desk. I MEAN LOOK AT PARK EUN BIN IN THIS POSTER! The stills from this drama look intense. Positively a job I’ve by no means seen Park Eun Bin do. She performs a genius physician who works as a shadow physician. A physician who has an unlawful working room. That already sounds just like the drama might be very intense between hiding from the regulation and performing these unlawful operations.
Kim You Jung is about to play an intense function. She apparently is enjoying a prime actress who’s a sociopath. In accordance with the synopsis, on the skin, she appears good and type however she has an evil aspect. With this evil aspect, she punishes folks and makes use of her evil aspect to get what she desires, to manage folks. THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN INTENSE CHARACTER. I’m down for leads being evil or being grey, flawed characters. So, the outline of her character caught my eye with this one.
I WILL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT! Apparently, after virtually 10 years, we’re FINALLY getting Sign Season 2. Since I’ve waited virtually 10 years for Season2, I’m not holding my breath BUT if we do get a Season 2 in 2025, I WILL BE SO HAPPY! Lee Je Hoon already is coming again for Season 2. Unclear if the entire authentic forged is coming again. I HOPE THEY DO!
Talking of seasons, Taxi Driver Season 3 is popping out in 2025. This has been confirmed. I LOVE the Taxi Driver collection so; I’m at all times down for an additional season of this kdrama collection. I really like that a number of the forged is coming again. Unknown if the entire forged is coming again. I’m simply excited to see extra of them and the nice guys taking down the unhealthy guys. I undoubtedly suggest this collection to individuals who like crime Kdramas. You probably have not watched this collection, it’s best to test it out. Truthful warning, it’s DARK and BRUTAL, and also you want the entire set off warnings.
I’ve 2 primary the reason why I’m excited for this drama. When this drama was introduced, occult was connected to the drama in its description. I LOVE ghost Kdramas that happen in historic instances. It’s a plus for me if it’s a darkish, fantasy ghost Kdrama in a historic setting. The forged can be a cause why it caught my eye. Nam Joo Hyuk and Cho Seung Woo being within the forged intrigues me. I SWEAR CHO SEUNG WOO DOES NOT AGE! Now this drama may be delayed a bit as a result of it’s the set that had a fireplace escape on it in late December so, we must see what occurs. The nice factor is that nobody was harm, simply a number of the set was broken.
LAST however actually not least, Culinary Class Wars Season 2 apparently is popping out a while in 2025. Since Season 1 is one among my favourite issues I watched in 2024. After all, Season 2 is HIGH ON MY LIST! I’m curious who might be on it. I’m curious if they are going to change something up when it comes to challenges or judges or no matter. I JUST LOVE THAT WE ARE GETTING A SEASON 2!
