This has been an uneventful year in dramas for me, and it’s hard to wrap my head around the year ending soon and already K-ent pundits are looking towards 2016 for discussion fodder. The network that has been getting killed in prime time ratings for the last two years is actually garnering the most interest thanks to the one-two-three leading man lineup. Starting with So Ji Sub and Shin Mina in Oh My Venus (which technically starts in 2015) on Mon-Tues, while Wed-Thurs next year has Lee Kyung Hee‘s melodrama romance Arbitrarily Fond with Kim Woo Bin and Suzy followed by Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo in disaster war zone romance Descendants of the Sun written by Kim Eun Sook.
Cable network tvN is also getting tons of attention thanks to Cheese in the Trap with Park Hae Jin and Kim Go Eun, along with thriller Signal and the return of a Noh Hee Kyung drama Dear My Friends starring Go Hyun Jung. SBS looks solid with Yoo Ah In‘s saeguk Six Flying Dragons continuing on its 50-episode run well into 2016, but for added eye candy there’s going to be Yoo Seung Ho‘s drama return in Remember on Wed-Thurs. Sadly MBC is not generating as much buzz since makjang Glamorous Temptation on Mon-Tues will also run as long as Six Flying Dragons into next year, while the only drama lined up for Wed-Thurs is tentatively Goodbye Mr. Black with Moon Chae Won and Lee Jin Wook. Anything looking interesting for you guys?
SBS also has the pre-filmed Lee Young Ae comeback drama Saimdang: The Herstory, costarring Song Seung Heon, but that drama doesn’t yet have a confirmed time slot on the network.
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…
If Wang Xing Yue ever needs extra money he can be a professional dubber for…

Why KBS always delay DotS? I think it will be overrated like Heirs, anyway.
tvN look solid with their line up. I wish that 'Signal' will be more like 'Sign' or 'Ghost' and be less like '3 Days'.
DotS dosen't have the buzz tbh but A-F with KBW and suzy do have the hype and buzz of with his line-up.. While China is most certainly into A-F so is Idramafans and at this point its also safe to say that korea is also most into that drama which has an appealing hype
I could be wrong but if I had to predict or bet my money on whos going to hit daebak it would be Arbitrarily Fond and it won't even be competition on Weibo streamings, Dramafever viewer list and Local Tv-ratings.
I think Arbitrarily fond will definitely hit the 1bil viewers within 1-2 months on Chinese portals.. It could definitely be another My love from the stars, heirs or city hunter type drama that brings viewers and so far the hype it has its looking quite strong but we will have to wait and see but I predict big things for that drama
maybe but right now I don't think so ...
AF melodrama. I don't know how much people would on board for cry-fest.
honestly the only drama i'm anticipating so much is goodbye mr black. for oh my venus the story doesn't seem interesting eventhought i quite like both lead, remember could be interesting but i need check the teaser first, not interested with other drama
Me too.
Maybe Oh My Venus. I am not that hard to please but other than Shin Mi Na I am not a fan of the rest so I am not anticipating any of the dramas.
Goodbye Mr. Black. Also drama comebacks from Jang Geunsuk, Lee Minho and Lee Jongsuk.
Cheese in.the trap for me!!
only Descendants of the Sun
Looking at the lineup, I realized there is nothing too exciting for me... I would check out Woo Bin's drama (despite Suzy) and Remember. Dots and the rest are more melo than romcom.. so less chances of watching them.
I am excited for my ultimate bias's/Lee Young Ae's drama comeback! But I'm also looking forward to Kim Woo Bin and Suzy's Uncontrollably Fond!
tvN :)
