New TV dramas to look out for
Diverse genres, themes and stars in store for fall TV
As the hot and sultry summer gives way to fall, Korea’s major TV networks are revamping their primetime roster with new series.
From a period piece retelling the story of an ill-fated Joseon crown prince to heartthrob Rain’s rom-com comeback, the fall TV lineup looks as diverse as ever.
Here’s a closer look at some of the most anticipated dramas…
[Excerpt]
‘My Lovely Girl’
SBS’ new rom-com “My Lovely Girl” is one of the most anticipated dramas for hallyu fans around the world this fall.
Directed by Park Hyung-gi and written by No Ji-seol, the Wednesday-Thursday drama stars several singer-actor hotshots, including Rain, Krystal from f(x), L from Infinite, Kim Jin-woo from Winner and Haeryung from BESTie.

With the drama, Rain is making his TV comeback after a four-year break and more than a year after completing mandatory military service.
“We tried to give the happiest hour to the audience,” the director said in a press conference in Seoul on Monday. “It was great to have the lovely actresses and actors work with us.”
“My Lovely Girl” is a romantic comedy about entertainment label chief Hyun-wook (Rain) and aspiring singer Se-na (Krystal), who overcomes her painful memories through music.
Se-na is an orphan who lives without realizing her musical talent until she encounters Hyun-wook, the hidden Midas of Korean music.
Hyun-wook stops working after the tragic death of his lover, Se-na’s sister Soeun. After being diagnosed with “earworm,” a hearing disease, he loses the sense of meaning in his life until he meets Se-na.
The first of the series’ 16 episodes will air on Sept. 17 at 10 p.m.
