News bites: April 2, 2024

  • An official announcement is out for Disney+’s new mystery-thriller Nine Puzzle, with still-a-cop Sohn Seok-gu (A Killer Paradox) suspicious of profiler Kim Da-mi (Our Beloved Summer) as they’re further embroiled in a re-surfacing serial murder case. Slated to release sometime in 2025, filmmaker Yoon Jong-bin (Narco-Saints, The Spy Gone North) is at the helm with writing by Lee Eun-mi (Navillera, Tunnel). [News1]
  • With promos now in full swing, a new poster has dropped for JTBC’s upcoming No Secrets, showcasing our frazzled truth-speaker Go Kyung-pyo (D.P. 2) and the opportunity-grabbing show writer Kang Hanna (Red Heart). Also starring the once an idol but now a trot singer Joo Jong-hyuk (Extraordinary Attorney Woo), the rom-com’s shenanigans begin on May 1 in the Wednesday-Thursday slot. [News1]

  • Song Hye-gyo (The Glory) is reviewing an offer to star in a new period series by writer Noh Hee-kyung (Our Blues). If she accepts, this will mark Song’s third (!) time working with writer Noh, after The World They Live In and That Winter, the Wind Blows. In the meantime, Song Hye-gyo has been busy with filming for the mystery-occult movie Dark Nuns. [Newsen]
  • In more casting news, we may be getting a Moon Ga-young (The Interest of Love) and Choi Hyun-wook (Twinkling Watermelon) pairing in a new webtoon adaptation set in the early aughts, titled He’s the Black Dragon (roughly translated). With both actors currently in talks, the production is in discussion to potentially air on tvN. [Osen]

  • Speaking of tvN, Resident Playbook had initially been penciled in for May, but the series has reportedly been pushed back due to various considerations – likely the ongoing medical conflicts in South Korea. Now expected to broadcast in the latter half of 2024, the spin-off stars Go Yoon-jung (Death’s Game), Shin Shi-ah (The Witch: Part 2), Kang Yoo-seok (Black Knight), Jung Joo-won (A Model Family), and rookie actor Han Ye-ji.

  • Starting and ending with Disney+ today, Blood Free released new character posters and teasers of our leads: Joo Ji-hoon (Jirisan), Han Hyo-joo (Moving), Lee Hee-joon (A Killer Paradox), and Lee Moo-saeng (Hide). Premiering on April 10 next week, the sci-fi is helmed by PD Park Chul-hwan (Grid) with scripts penned by Lee Soo-yeon (Grid, Forest of Secrets). [Sports Donga]
