The best of the year", "Castle in the Sky", has become a New Year's Eve work, the brain-burning "Memories of the Alhambra" constantly challenges everyone's reasoning ability, the dog's blood "Queen's Character" various reversals make you cry and laugh, and the 2019 major TV stations have added "new grass" to your list of dramas. The big wave of new dramas is coming, which one will you chase?

Korean TV dramas seem to like the word "best", "Best Love", "Best Divorce", "Best Lee Junshin"..... Now even fried chicken is "best".
"The Best Fried Chicken" tells the story of the youth of an office worker who dreams of running a fried chicken shop and an online writer who inherits his grandfather's bathhouse and lives a secluded life. Another story about youth and dreams, feeling that you can't watch it in the middle of the night, you will be hungry...
"Produce 101" draft from Kim So-hye, has participated in a number of TV series / network dramas, and finally became the heroine, compared to the male protagonist Park Sun-ho, everyone may be more familiar with Joo Woo-jae, yg model origin, in many film and television dramas and variety shows have appeared.

It tells the story of Cho Deok-ho (Park Shin-young), a geek lawyer who faces an ugly reality, and after meeting rival Lee Zi-kyung (Ko Hyun-young), he fights fiercely.
The drama is the sequel to "Neighbor Lawyer Zhao Dehao" broadcast in 2016, it is still a story of hot-blooded lawyers fighting corruption, although there are no actors in the first part such as Kang Sura, Yoo So-young, park Shuaimei, etc., but the new acting school Gao Xianting, male and female main fight drama is very worth looking forward to.
Due to the contradiction between Sister Gao and the director in the previous work sbs "return", the main actor of "Neighbor Lawyer Zhao Dehao 2" will not attend the pre-production conference, and it seems that the impact of this matter on Sister Gao is quite large.

Director: Kim Hee-won, "The Flower of Money"
Writers: Kim Sun-duk, Shin Ha-eun
Starring: Lu Jinjiu, Lee Se-young, Kim Sang-kyung, Kwon Hae-hyo
It tells the untold story of Kwanghae-jun's disappearance in the history of Korea during the 15 days, in which Kwanghae-jun of Korea lives in the palace in place of a commoner who looks exactly like him in order to escape the crisis of being poisoned.
The drama is adapted from the movie "Guanghai, the Man Who Became the King" starring Li Bingxian, Shen Enjing, Liu Chenglong and Han Xiaozhou, and the film version won multiple awards that year, which is a potential pressure for the TV series remake.
Many people's impression of Lu Zhenjiu's ancient costume is still stuck in the appearance of Wang Shizi when he was a child in "The Moon Embracing the Sun", and this time playing two characters with very different personalities is quite challenging. Also a child star, Li Shiying, who is familiar to everyone because of the role of Fuzi in "Flower Travels", played the role of the film version of Han Xiaozhou in the play.

Telling the story of a lonely and pitiful middle-aged man who has never lived for himself, a touching human story that blends laughter and a sense of humor. Both posters reveal that the theme of the play revolves around the story of "men hurt the most", laughing and crying.
The main creative lineup is good, and audiences who like realistic themes should not miss it.

The story of the woman whose souls are exchanged to find true happiness again, one is a very self-anchor, one is a member of Congress who dedicates herself to her family,
What are the different experiences of starting over as another person? Around this theme, it seems that South Korea will come every year to a fantasy drama of soul exchange, last year there was "The Miracle We Met", this year it was the turn of female souls to exchange, Lee Yoo-ri, Yan Ji-won plus Uncle Lee Jong-hyuk, who has not been seen for a long time, love light comedy is undoubted.

Starring: Zhu Jixun, Yoo Seung-yong, Bae Doona, Kim Sang-ho, etc
Adapted from the webcom "Kingdom of God", it tells the story of The King of Joseon, who uncovers the cruel truth that threatens the whole country when he investigates the strange plague.
Did not wait for "signal" Kim Eun-hee to come out of "Signal 2", but waited for a court zombie film, which is still a suspense theme that Kim Eun-hee is good at, only six episodes, in the form of pre-production.
Zhu Zhixun, Liu Chenglong, Pei Doona, basically the film lineup, has come out of the trailer, here will not be put, a little scary.
Suddenly remembered the same court zombie drama "Rampant"... The plot is a bit old-fashioned, blinding Zhang Dongjian and Xuan Bin, the two major actors.
The following is your new drama of Lee Jong-suk's husband.
TVN Weekend Drama "Romance is aNother Book Appendix" ("Romance is a Supplement")
Premiere: January 26, 2019
Director: Li Zhengxiao, "Life on Mars", "good Wife", "Because of the First Time", "Need for Romance 2012", "Need for Romance"
Screenwriter: Jeong Hyun-jeong, "Because of the First Time", "The Discovery of Love", "Need for Romance 3", "Need for Romance 2012", "Need for Romance"
Starring: Lee Jong-suk, Lee Nai-young, Kim You-mi, Cho Han-chul
Set against the backdrop of the publishing house, it tells the romantic story between the beautiful woman Kang Dani (Lee Nai-young), who was once a popular advertising writer, and the "literary idol" star writer Cha Eun-ho (Lee Jong-suk).
Lee Jong-suk plays a brain-sex male genius writer known as a "literary idol" in the play, and che Eun-ho, the youngest editor-in-chief of the publishing house, who is a perfect male god.
Jiang Dani, played by Li Naiying, was once a successful beauty advertising writer, but as she grew older, she wanted to work again but failed many times, and she successfully interviewed her for a fake academic qualification at che Eun-ho's publishing house and started a new life.
Tvn's lineup of recent dramas is also too strong, before there is Song Huiqiao, Park Baojian's "Boyfriend", after Hyun Bin, Park Shin-hye's "Memories of the Alhambra", and the successor "Romance is another appendix" Lineup is also not to be underestimated.
Lee Nai-young, who returned to the TV series after 9 years, and Lee Jong-suk, who took this as the last TV drama work before enlisting in the army, directed by Lee Jeong-hyo of "Life on Mars", written by "Need for Romance" series and "The Discovery of Love" By Jeong Hyun-jeong, this romantic comedy is still worth looking forward to.
Following the work of Park Baojian, the off-duty Song Joong-ki of Song Huiqiao, and ushered in an enviable female star, working Lee Jong-suk, off-duty Yuanbin, fans can only wave tears to send blessings.
Next, Xiaobian listed several dramas that are not in the January file, but everyone is very concerned about.
Lee Dong Wook and Liu Ren Na tvn "Touching the Heart" (premiered on February 6)
In "Lonely and Brilliant God: Ghosts", the love between Li Dongxu and Liu Renna in the past and present lives of the "bitter Mandarin Duck" made many drama fans cry out. This time, the two collaborated on the new drama "Touching the Heart". The work tells the story of an office romance between a top actress who has gone downhill due to her involvement in a scandal with Fushiro and an honest, wooden lawyer.
Park Joon-hwa, the director of "Touching the Heart", directed another popular drama not long ago, "Why Is Secretary Kim Like That". In "Why Is Secretary Kim Like That", the director is very good at the romantic interaction between the male and female protagonists, and is also very good at creating a humorous plot atmosphere. Many netizens said that as long as "Touching the Heart" can continue to "sugar" like "Golden Secretary", there is no need to worry about ratings! After all, everyone wants to see Li Dongxu and Liu Renna talk about a sweet love in the play.
Nam Joo-hyuk and Han Ji-min jtbc "Dazzling" (premiered in February)
Song Joong-ki and Kim Ji-won tvn "Asda Chronicles" (broadcast time undetermined)
The Asda Chronicle is the first ancient Korean story written in South Korea. This magical drama depicting the history of ancient humanity was written by Kim Young-hyun and Park Sang-yeon of "Six Dragons Flying in the Sky" and "Trees with Deep Roots". In the Chronicle of Asda, Song Joong-ki plays the character who transformed the first Asda city from the ancient land of Asa into a small country. In the process, he will not only face a power struggle, but will also break the identity hierarchy in search of true love.
In "Descendants of the Sun", many fans bluntly said that although Liu Dawei and Yin Mingzhu played not a couple, they were full of sparks, and this time Song Joong-ki and Jin Jiyuan played couples in the new drama, which undoubtedly fulfilled the dreams of many audiences.
So look, in the first half of the year, looking at the lineup, TVN has already outperformed a lot.
