The top Korean drama series writing duo have signed on to script a new show, while among the major casting announcements in our latest round-up is news of a K-pop luminary taking on his first villain role in a Netflix sequel series.
1. Untitled Hong Sisters drama
This series will follow Can This Love Be Translated?, another Hong Sisters creation starring Kim Seon-ho and Go Youn-jung, which is in post-production and preparing to release on Netflix this year.
Although casting is well under way, no plot details have been revealed so far for the series. The only titbit that has been shared is that the show is not a sequel to the series Hotel Del Luna, something many fans have been waiting for.
