by tccolb
Continuing the climb into the K-content big leagues, LG’s production company Studio X+U came out with a new video announcement showcasing their… er… “non-fungible condensed entertainment lineup” (to use their words) for 2024. Although the broadcaster is not yet confirmed for some of the shows, presumably most will be releasing on LG’s own platform, U+ Mobile TV.
Drama: Fragile
Release date: TBA
Need to know: Still in the early stages of production, the youth series will be taking a hard and honest look at the day-to-day struggles faced by teenagers in this generation.
Drama: Tarot
Release date: TBA
Need to know: Entwining an ensemble cast into a dark web of seven tales surrounding the title’s mysterious tarot cards, the omnibus style horror series stars Jo Yeo-jung, Park Ha-sun, Dex (a.k.a. Kim Jin-young), Go Kyu-pil, Seo Ji-hoon, Lee Joo-bin, and Ham Eun-jung among others. With PD Choi Byung-gil (High Class, Angry Mom) at the helm and scripts by Kyung Min-sun, the fantasy has notably been selected for the short form competition at the Cannes International Series Festival this April.
Drama: No Way Out
Release date: TBA
Need to know: After 13 years behind bars as a convicted felon, Yoo Jae-myung’s first taste of freedom is soured when he discovers that someone put out a 200 million won reward for Yoo’s head.

Production is being led by filmmaker Choi Gook-hee (Life is Beautiful) and screenwriter Lee Soo-jin (The Devil’s Deal).
In addition to dramas, Studio X+U has been working on a slew of variety, talk, reality, and documentary shows for this year, including:
- Be My Side 3 (April 17), with model Han Hye-jin, Youtuber Pungja, and comedians Park Na-rae and Eom Ji-yoon
- Star of Star Girls 2 (TBA), with idols Yuqi, Chuu, and Tsuki
- The House You Live In (roughly translated)(TBA)
- She Killed (TBA)
Currently airing or completed shows were omitted from the post. But seeing as we’re in the midst of another round of qualifier games for FIFA, football/soccer fans may be interested in checking out Man in Europe, hosted by Park Ji-sung and Patrice Evra.
