The romantic comedy tells the story of a woman who, after living what seemed to be the perfect life abroad — working for a prestigious company and being engaged to an international lawyer — suddenly returns to Korea. There, she reconnects with her childhood friend, now a renowned architect, as their lives intertwine once again.
Meanwhile, Judge from Hell on SBS has surged in popularity, hitting double digits just five episodes into its run.

This fantasy drama revolves around Kang Bit Na, a judge who becomes possessed by a demon named Justitia. Sent to Earth by Bael as punishment, Justitia’s mission is to take down 10 unrepentant murderers within a year or face her own demise. Along the way, she teams up with detective Han Da On and Valak, adding layers of suspense to an already dark and thrilling plot.
As both dramas continue to attract viewers, they have solidified their places as must-watch shows, each offering its unique flavor of romance, fantasy, and action. The lead actors offer incredible performances, so we would definitely suggest giving them a go!
