Netflix teases the highly anticipated Kingdom: Ashin of the North, a special episode that will expand the horizons of the Kingdom series, with a first look at Ashin. The special episode will reveal the origins of the resurrection plant that triggered the avalanche of tragic events that swept through Joseon and the woman abandoned by all — Ashin.

Kingdom: Ashin of the North will be directed by Kim Seong-hun, who directed and oversaw the production of the first season of Kingdom. Writer Kim Eun-hee, who scripted the two seasons, also returned to pen an epic story of Kingdom: Ashin of the North. Gianna Jun who made a striking appearance as the adult Ashin at the end of Season 2, returns to appease the viewers clamoring for more of her intriguing character. 

iQiyi on-going Korean drama 'At a distance Spring is Green' is based on popular webtoon and the concept is based on a quote from Charlie Chaplin "Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot." The storyline surrounds young people who live in their brilliant 20s. Yet, after a deep look, their lives are tough and uneasy. Starring Park Ji-hoon, Bae In Hyuk, Kang Min Ah, Na In Woo and Cha Chung Hwa, 'At A Distance Spring is Green' is set to stream on iQiyi International app every Monday and Tuesday at 8.30PM (MYT), exclusively simulcast streaming with Korea. 

The long-awaited hit series Hospital Playlist is finally back with its second season, and we could not be more excited. If you haven’t seen the first season or need a quick recap of what you need to know before watching the second season, check out this catch-up guide. Find out what’s going on with the main five doctor friends of the series and what we’re looking forward to for each of them with the new season.

Lee Ik-jun

Our resident social butterfly and hepatologist Lee Ik-jun (Cho Jung-Seok) is always busy being an amazing doctor, doting single father, and befriending everyone in the hospital. At the end of the first season, he confessed his feelings to his long-time friend and first love Chae Song-hwa (Jeon Mi-do). We’re dying to find out if Song-hwa feels the same way and whether they’ll become a couple or not. We also can’t wait to see more of his adorable son U-ju and hear more of his sweet singing.

Ahn Jeong-won

The pediatric surgeon loves children, loves God, and loves helping out people in need. While Ahn Jeong-won (Yoo Yeon-seok) was torn over the decision to become a priest in the first season, he ended up deciding against it and confirmed his feelings for Jang Gyeo-ul (Shin Hyun-been). With their cute couple nickname “Winter Garden,” fans are super excited to see more of their romance in the new season. Here’s hoping we can see some cute antics from Jeong-won as they navigate their new relationship.

Kim Jun-wan

Cardiothoracic surgeon Kim Jun-wan (Jung Kyung-Ho) appears prickly on the outside but is just as warm-hearted as his friends on the inside. A fan of golf and sweets, Jun-wan turned into quite the romantic as he delved into a romance with Ik-jun’s sister Ik-sun (Kwak Sun-young). At the end of the first season they became a long-distance couple when Ik-sun left to study abroad. He mailed her a couple ring, but got the package returned to him. The second season should provide us with a much-needed update on their relationship status.

Yang Seok-hyeong

The introverted obstetrician-gynecologist enjoys spending his time alone, with his friends, or with his mother. After Chu Min-ha (Ahn Eun-jin) confesses her feelings for him, Yang Seok-hyeong (Kim Dae-Myeung) tells her he’s not interested in dating. Respectfully undeterred, Chu Min-ha continues to show her interest and spend more time with him. At the end of the previous season, he turned down Min-ha’s invitation for Christmas dinner and received a call from his ex-wife. Will Seok-hyeong experience romance in season 2?

Chae Song-hwa

Neurosurgeon Chae Song-hwa (Jeon Mi Do) is a true lover of camping and she’s perfect at everything except for singing. At the end of the first season, Song-hwa moves to Sokcho to work at a hospital branch there for a year in order to improve her health. After moving, Ik-jun confesses his feelings for her and tells her to take her time and tell him how she feels when he gets back from the symposium in Spain. We’ll see whether she’s back in Seoul for the new season and what her answer for Ik-jun will be.

Now that you remember all the reasons to love Hospital Playlist, you’re all caught up just in time for when Season 2 launches on Netflix tomorrow, 17 June. New episodes will be released every Thursday at 10PM MYT, only on Netflix.
