Here’s a Sneak Peek at Your Favorite Upcoming Korean Shows
What’s more painstaking than licking a cutout in a dalgona cookie over and over again? Waiting for the next season of your new favorite show. Thankfully, we now have a few more delicious crumbs from Netflix’s stacked roster of Korean original series.
Tudum: A Netflix Global Fan Event hosts Choi Min-ho (co-stars of the upcoming series The Fabulous) and Cho Yi-hyun (All Of Us Are Dead) reveal the robust list of Korean series and unscripted titles that fans can look forward to — and they even offer some sneak peeks and brand-new clips to whet our appetites.
In a special clip from Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area — which premiered Part I in June — fans can see Captain Cha Moohyuk (Kim Seung-O) truly showing how ruthless he can be. Based on the Spanish hit series La Casa de Papel, this remake offers a fresh take on the original story — one in which North and South Korea have reunified and share a new currency and Unified Mint that’s ripe for a heist. In anticipation of the upcoming Part 2, none other than Lee Hyun-woo (Rio) introduces the harrowing scene.
Then there’s Hellbound, the dark fantasy series that captured us last year with its harrowing tale of ghouls set on condemning humans to hell (and those who dare to oppose them), all in the name of divine justice. Well, lucky for us the story will continue down its wicked path: Hellbound is officially returning for Season 2.
Speaking of hell, Single’s Inferno Season 2 is in the works, and promises to have a lot of the same elements of the spicy debut season — and a few choice upgrades (let’s hear it for some nighttime dates!). ButTudum also showed a special sneak peek at an all-new reality competition series that might even be just as difficult as finding love in Inferno. In Physical:100, exactly 100 contestants of different ages, races and genders must prove their strength in a series of, well, unconventional, physical challenges. Some of us might call it a feat to make it from the couch to bed, but the rest, we’ll leave to the, uh, professionals on screen.
And last but not least, a special message from a handful of the stars of Squid Game, as well as director Hwang Dong-hyuk. “We never imagined that Squid Game on Netflix would take us on such an incredible and unforgettable journey,” Park Hae-soo (who plays Cho Sang-woo) says. Hwang then introduced a never-before-seen clip left on the cutting floor of Season 1, adding another layer to to the story’s core compelling mystery. Keep your friends close, and your marbles closer — the journey continues.
