Gone are the days when you had to wait for local networks to air the latest Korean drama.

The Beauty Inside
Based on the uber popular movie of the same name, The Beauty Inside follows the story of top actress Han Se-Gye (Seo Hyun-Jin), whose face and appearance changes for a week every month, whether as an old lady, a young boy, or whatever the universe fancies her to be.

Romance is a Bonus Book
Broke and desperate for a job, formerly popular copywriter Kang Dan-Yi (Lee Na-Young) ends up working in a publishing house after lying about her credentials just to get a position she is definitely overqualified for.

Tune In For Love
