Welcome to the Golden Month of 2025! 🎄✨

If you’ve been waiting for the biggest stars to return, your wait ends THIS WEEK. December 3rd marks the calm before the storm, because starting Thursday, we are getting hit with back-to-back blockbuster premieres.

• The Stars: Jeon Do-yeon (Crash Course in Romance) & Kim Go-eun (Little Women, Goblin)
• The Vibe: "Killing Eve" but darker.
• Why Watch?
• Two of Korea’s best actresses in one frame? It’s already iconic. An art teacher accused of killing her husband meets a mysterious woman in prison who offers to help her... for a price. Critics are already calling this the "Acting Masterclass of 2025."
