My Holo Love

I am hoping that this show can fill the gap that was left in my heart after finishing Are You Human Too. The trend of robot/AI characters seemed to have died down shortly after the end of Are You Human Too and I‘m Not A Robot, but with the premier of My Holo Love we may be seeing a comeback of this trend. Fingers crossed, this show may offer us another Namshin III.

Hyena

I am not really interested in legal dramas but if there was a cast of actors that could change my mind, it would be this one. For this drama Ju Ji-Hoon and Kim Hye-Soo are partnering up in what seems to be a light-hearted portrayal of rich and successful lawyers.

If the weather is good, i’ll find you

Another drama that I am looking forward to mainly because of the cast. Both Park Min-Young and Seo Kang-Joon tend to have excellent chemistry with their co-stars so I am expecting this drama to deliver some really swoon-worthy moments. The setting also seems to be light-hearted so this could be the healing drama of 2020.

Hi bye mama

Kim Tae-Hee‘s comback drama is enough to get me interested but when coupled with Lee Kyu-hyung as the male lead the anticipation becomes doubled. This melodrama also features the topic of motherhood, which happens to be one of my favourite storylines depicted in k-drama.

Memoir of the man

Earlier this year I watched OCN’s The Guest and till this day I am still not over it. It was one of my favourite dramas that I watched this year and I would highly recommend anyone to watch it. That being said, my main interest in this drama is due to the fact that Kim Dong-Wook is the lead in both dramas.

Welcome

Adorable storyline. This k-drama looks fun and light-hearted. I love both actors and I think that they would have a good chemistry and suit the drama well. This is one of those shows that have a crazy synopsis so you go into them not expecting much, but in the end they may still deliver a solid show.

365: one year against destiny

I would literally watch anything that either Nam Ji-Hyun or Lee Joon-hyuk choose to star in. They are two of my favourite actors, and they have displayed time and time again a great ability in selecting amazing projects to take part in. Add this with a time-travel plot and you already got me marking my calender.

nobody knows

Whether you love her or you hate her as Coach Kim, Kim Seo-Hyung was a big part of what made Sky Castle so appealing. Since this is her first role after such a successful drama I am really looking forward to it. Nobody Knows seems like the kind of drama that would capture your attention and keep it. With its dark tone, engaging storyline, and its capable staff of actors this drama holds a lot of promise for mystery/thriller lovers.

Kingdom Season 2

The second season of Kingdom is set to air in 2020. As a big fan of the first season I couldn’t be any happier with this news. Kingdom was one of the most enjoyable and original shows that I have seen in a while (definitely one of the best dramas to air in 2019) and I can’t wait to see where they will take the story next. Hopefully with this second season Bae Doo-Na would have a more active role in the drama, as that was my only complaint with the otherwise flawless first season.

Half of a half

I am determined that I have to finish a drama with Jung hae-In as the lead (I wasn’t able to get into both Something In The Rain and One Spring Night), and I feel like Half of Half might just be it. It helps that Chae Soo-Bin is the female lead, and I basically love everything she’s in.

The king: monarch of eternity

King: The Eternal Monarch is probably the most anticipated drama of 2020. It has both a stellar cast and a promising story. Add Lee Min-Ho to the mix and this drama seems to have it all. The parallel universe plot has been used a few times before in kdramaland so I am excited to see what their spin on it will be like.

We, were in love

I love Song Ji-hyo but so far everything that she has been in recently was pretty underwhelming. Still I have hope that her next project will be a good one. It will be interesting to see her in a motherhood role, and all that eye-candy is definitely a big plus.

Alice

I loved Kim Hee-Sun in Angry Mom so I can’t wait to watch her new project this year. There seems to be many dramas with fantastical elements coming out in 2020, and I am totally fine with that. I think the fantasy genre complements kdramas well and I hope that Alice can show that successfully.

tale of a gumiho

This drama has only recently been announced to air in 2020, but already excitement for it is running high. With Lee Dong-Wook and Jo Bo-Ah as the main leads this drama is a strong contender for most popular drama of this year. It will be the first time that the role of a Gumiho is played by a male actor, instead of a female actress, so I am anticipating the changes that follow due to this choice of casting.

Love alarm Season 2

The first season of Love Alarm was all over the place (especially the last 4-5 episodes) but I am so ready to go through all of it once again.

Stranger season 2

I can probably write an essay on how good Stranger/Secret Forest is and on how much I am looking forward to the second season. I think Stranger is an absolute much watch for any one who loves k-dramas. Its quality of story and characters honestly transcends other shows in kdramaland, so I cannot recommend it enough.

He only earns about 1.8 million won (~$1,600 USD) a month. Ko Mun-Young (Seo Ye-Ji) is a popular writer of children’s literature, but she is extremely selfish, arrogant and rude.

Ohy my baby (Actors in talks)

Jang Na-Ra had an incredible year in 2019 with both The Last Empress and VIP and her streak might be continuing on for 2020 as well. If she decides to take the lead role of Oh My Baby, Jang Na-Ra would be blessing us once again by her presence sooner than expected. There have been quite a few dramas that center around the portrayal of motherhood recently, and it looks like Oh My Baby is going to be a further contribution to that trend. I am also impressed and entirely happy with the actors in talks to appear alongside Na-Ra. Non of the three male actors have had a main lead role before, but all three were great in past roles.

She has worked for 15 consecutive years, but she is still only the second-in-command in the editorial department. Despite searching and searching for a man who could be her husband, it’s already been 10 years since she’s dated someone. Her daily life involves pulling all-nighters with her colleagues at the company with an unwashed face, and she finds pride and comfort in her position as a reliable member of the society.

Train (actors still in talks)

One of the many things that The Guest has taught me is that Lee Jae-Wook and OCN are a great combination. The story already seems like it would be very fun to watch so hopefully Lee Jae-Wook would confirm his casting so this train could take off (bad pun intended).

Midnight snack man and woman (actors still in talks)

The casting for this drama is still vague at the moment. The main lead role has been given to both Sung-Hoon and Jung Il-Woo; the first declined while the latter is still considering it at the moment. The story will feature a love triangle between two men and a women. However, one of the two men’s love interest will be the main lead (meaning that the female lead and the second lead would be rivals for the main lead’s love). The story is fresh and it would be interesting to see what the tone for this show is going to be like; wether it would be comedic or serious.

Meanwhile, Im Jung-Woo (Yoo Seung-Ho), is the marketing manager of P Shopping and the youngest son of the P Group’s chairman. He is a wealthy young man with an excellent educational background and perfect looks.

Memorist

Yoo Seung-Ho is great, but what’s greater is that he will be paired with Lee Se-Young for their drama Memorist. I was originally impressed with her in The Best Hit, and she continued to be amazing in The Crowned Clown. She is a lot of fun to watch and I can’t wait to see more of her.

Penthouse (actors still in talks)

I almost avoided watching The Last Empress and I am so glad that I actually gave it a chance. It was overdramatic, crazy, and all over the place but I enjoyed every second of it. You can imagine my excitement, then, when I heard that its creators are going to be working together again for the upcoming drama Penthouse. And that Shin Sung-Rok may be a part of it as well.
