Spring Fever: Healing Hearts in a Quiet Town

Spring Fever tells a gentle, slow-burning love story that unfolds far away from the chaos of city life. Lee Joo-bin stars as Yoon Bom, a high school teacher who leaves her fast-paced Seoul routine behind after a painful breakup. Seeking peace, she relocates to the small, quiet town of Sinsu. Emotionally guarded and distant, Yoon Bom initially keeps everyone at arm’s length to protect herself from further hurt.

Her carefully built walls begin to crack when she meets Seon Jae-gyu, played by Ahn Bo-hyun. A local CEO with a rough exterior, Jae-gyu is anything but intimidating once you get to know him. Loud, energetic, and endlessly kind, he slowly brings warmth and laughter back into Yoon Bom’s life. Their romance develops gradually through small, meaningful moments, making the emotional payoff deeply satisfying. New episodes air every Monday and Tuesday, with the finale scheduled for February 10, 2026.

Surely Tomorrow: Love That Refuses to Fade

For viewers who enjoy emotionally rich, mature romances, Surely Tomorrow is a standout. Starring Park Seo-joon and Won Ji-an, the drama explores a love story shaped by time, regret, and unfinished feelings. Lee Gyeong-do and Seo Ji-woo first fell in love in their early twenties, only to part ways. A second attempt in their late twenties also ended in heartbreak.

Years later, fate brings them together once more. Gyeong-do is now a reporter assigned to cover a major scandal—only to discover that the woman at its centre is Ji-woo, his first love. As they cross paths again, unresolved emotions resurface, forcing them to confront the past and question whether love deserves another chance. With all 12 episodes now available following its January 11, 2026 finale, this series is perfect for a weekend binge.

Idol I: Romance Meets Courtroom Drama

Idol I offers a unique mix of romance, legal mystery, and suspense. Choi Soo-young plays Maeng Se-na, a brilliant criminal lawyer who secretly adores a popular boy band. Her admiration turns personal when the idol she’s followed for years, Do Ra-ik (Kim Jae-yeong), is accused of murder.

Determined to uncover the truth, Se-na takes on his defense. As she investigates, she uncovers disturbing secrets about the idol industry, including the intense pressures of fame and the dark side of obsessive fandom. Each episode peels back another layer of mystery, blending emotional tension with social commentary and a slow-building romantic connection.

Nice to Not Meet You: Enemies, Egos, and Unexpected Love

This enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy thrives on sharp banter and clashing personalities. Lee Jung-jae plays a famous actor desperate to break free from his “tough guy” image and star in a romantic film. Lim Ji-yeon portrays a fearless political reporter who finds herself demoted to the entertainment desk after landing in trouble.

Forced to interview the actor she has no respect for, sparks fly instantly—and not the romantic kind. She sees him as fake and shallow, while he finds her blunt and rude. Over time, however, mutual frustration gives way to understanding, helping both characters rediscover what they truly want from their careers and lives.

Positively Yours: Love After an Unexpected Twist

Positively Yours delivers a heartfelt yet unconventional romance. Oh Yeon-seo stars as Jang Hee-won, a hardworking woman who has given up on love after witnessing her parents’ painful divorce. After a particularly bad day, she ends up spending the night with a charming stranger, Kang Doo-joon (Choi Jin-hyuk), a wealthy chaebol who has sworn off marriage.

Their lives take a dramatic turn when Hee-won discovers she’s pregnant. Suddenly bound together by circumstances, the two strangers must navigate parenthood, responsibility, and the possibility of genuine love. The series premieres on January 17 and airs every Saturday and Sunday, promising warmth, humor, and emotional depth.
