Premiere Watch: The Killer’s Shopping List, Monstrous

Premiere Watch: The Killer’s Shopping List, Monstrous

This week’s premieres take a thrilling and bloody turn, one in a comedic direction, and the other quite a bit more literal. Both shows are a genre change from all the slice-of-life and melancholy we’ve got going right now, so who’s ready?

The Killer’s Shopping List

Time slot: Wednesday-Thursday
Broadcaster: tvN
Genre: Thriller, mystery, comedy
Episode count: 8

Reasons to watch: Lee Kwang-soo back in dramaland in a role that seems written for him!? That’s all the reasons to watch right there. The Killer’s Shopping List lays out a great premise: a left behind shopping receipt at a local mart is the only clue to solve a crime, and it’s the job of our underdog hero to figure it all out. Well, with the help of his mother (Jin Hee-kyung), and police officer girlfriend (Seolhyun). If the drama can keep the quirky aesthetics and humor of their promos, this could be a great little eight-episode drama.

Monstrous

Time slot: Fridays
Broadcaster: TVING
Genre: Mystery, horror, thriller, supernatural
Episode count: 6

Reasons to watch: TVING has a new premiere and they continue to lean into the dark and bloody. Monstrous boasts a great cast, but a super scary premise. If you’re a fan of: Gu Kyo-hwan, Shin Hyun-bin, Kwak Dong-yeon, Nam Da-reum, etc., you will likely be excited to see them here… but are you also game for a story about creepy supernatural happenings, ancient signs and symbols, evil spirits, and more? It’s a hard pass for me, even with Go Kyo-hwan reeling me in.
