The poster, featuring Hyun-su (played by the charismatic Song Kang) reaching up with his monstrous wing, sets the tone for the gripping teaser trailer. This imagery sets a foreboding tone for what lies ahead in the final battle for survival.

Opening with a call for cooperation among stadium survivors, Sang-wook (Lee Jin-uk) and his followers make a shocking announcement — survivors showing symptoms will face no restrictions and will be granted clemency.

Meanwhile, Eun-yu (Ko Min-si) and Chan-yeong (Jinyoung) continue their fight in a monster-infested world, heightening curiosity about everyone’s fate. Scenes depict people being sucked into ominous cocoons, teasing the rise of neohumans, a new species that could alter the course of the saga. 

Will Hyun-su reconnect with his inner human? How will the battle between Hyun-su, Eun-hyeok, and Sang-wook come to a head? From terrifying monsters born from greed to exploring life amid monsterisation, the final season now takes us to the ultimate showdown to save all.

Godsent hero or unpunished sinner? That is the question to answer in the newly-released trailer for A Killer Paradox, premiering 9 February, only on Netflix. 

Based on the original webtoon of the same name by Kkomabi, the plot explores themes such as morality, justice, and personal transformation. The story begins when Lee Tang (played by Choi Woo-shik), a submissive man who does not normally fight back, accidentally kills a person. Haunted by fear and guilt, Lee is constantly on edge, especially with Detective Jang Nan-gam (Son Suk-ku) close on his heels. 

Just as Lee decides to turn himself in, he finds out that the victim is actually a malicious serial killer. This sparks a noticeable shift in Lee’s character as he evolves from a regular guy-turned-murderer into a self-proclaimed judge of justice. 

Is he a God-appointed hero or a villain who will undergo judgement? Find out when A Killer Paradox launches globally on 9 February, only on Netflix.

When a professor’s son is killed without consequence, she will go to extraordinary lengths to exact her revenge in Wonderful World, a new Korean drama coming March 1 to Disney+ Hotstar.

Director Park Won-guk, Park Min Young, Na Inwoo, Lee Yi Kyung, Song Ha Yoon, and Lee Gi-kwang gathered at a local press conference in Seoul to discuss their upcoming series Marry My Husband. The thrilling story centers around Kang Ji-won (Park Min Young) who dies at the hands of her husband and best friend after finding out about their affair. She is transported 10 years into the past and is determined to change her fate. The series will be available on Prime Video in Malaysia and more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. Check out why the series is a must-watch below.If you need to name a K-drama rom-com queen, Park Min Young will definitely be top of mind. The actress has starred in countless hits including her most recent drama Love in Contract. You can always count on quality acting from her, and she won’t disappoint in Marry My Husband. The actress went to great lengths to portray her cancer patient character. Park Min Young explained, “Besides small details such as her gestures, how she uses her voice, her clothes, and her hairstyle, I focused on creating a person who truly hit rock bottom. Given my age, I thought about when else I would be able to pour this much passion and energy into a character, so I put my all into creating this character.”Besides our lovely protagonist, characters like Yu Ji-hyeok (Na In-woo) and Baek Eun-ho (Lee Gi-kwang) will also be vying for our hearts. The actors described their characters with Na Inwoo saying, “He’s someone who can provide everything for the person he loves whether it’s an emotional or material need. His only flaw is he’s a bit clumsy at expressing his feelings.” Lee Gi-kwang shared, “Eun-ho is like a sunflower. He’s only ever liked Ji-won and he has a lot of cute lines. He’s someone who can express innocent and child-like love.” In addition to these studly characters, we have backstabbing antagonists Park Min-hwan ( Lee Yi Kyung) and Jeong Su-min (Song Ha Yoon). Lee Yi Kyung playfully commented, “He’s a detestable character even from my perspective.” He and Song Ha Yoon also joked about how each other’s character was sometimes worse than their own. There’ll be a lot of fun in loving and hating these characters, for sure!After dying at the hands of her treacherous husband and best friend, Kang Ji-won is determined to get revenge after she is transported to 10 years in the past. You’ll be able to live vicariously through Ji-won’s quest and cheer her on as she punishes her betrayers. Director Park Won-guk shared, “It’s a refreshing drama where the villains will get punished without mercy.” Park Min Young added, “Kang Ji-won has a lot of anger, to the point where she has no mercy and does not forgive her enemies.” The revenge is all the more satisfying considering the sweet and sacrificial nature of Kang Ji-won. We can’t wait for justice to be served and for the villains to get what they deserve.Befitting the new year, Marry My Husband is also about a new chance at life as Ji-won takes charge and decides to live a completely different life the second time around. Director Park Won-guk said, “It’s a series where she makes way for a new fate. She meets good people, has new experiences and opportunities, and gains courage. It’s a story where she changes her gloomy fate into one that is sparkling.” Park Min Young also said, “Kang Ji-won is a character who has low self-esteem, is warm-hearted, kind, and not independent. She’s a person who has had a lot stolen from her.” It’ll be cathartic to see Ji-won embrace her new lease on life. In fact, it can provide inspiration for viewers who wish to change their fates as well.Marry My Husband is definitely a melodrama with the plot being full of betrayal and revenge. However, there will be moments of sweet romance that we can look forward to. Park Min Young commented, “Ji-won never experienced receiving love so when she does, it feels overwhelming. She’s an extremely lonely person, so I was very happy that she was able to receive a lot of love.” With a character deserving much love, the romance will be all the more sweet when Ji-won receives love from those who support her, such as her first love Eun-ho as well as her newer love Ji-hyeok. Can’t wait to enjoy those swoon-worthy moments and see Ji-won being treated with love and respect.
