• JTBC announced updates to their 2025 drama lineup, adding two new romances to the list. Slated to broadcast later this year, we can expect a heartwarming tale in both A Good Man (starring Lee Dong-wook, Lee Sung-kyung) as well as My Youth (starring Song Joong-ki, Chun Woo-hee). The latter is said to have finished filming early this week. [JTBC, Joy News 24]

• In the meantime, Lee Dong-wook (A Shop for Killers) is soliciting us to apply for The Divorce Insurance in tvN’s latest poster – costing us just a few shiny pennies at 27,900 South Korean won/month. Accompanied by his office drama colleagues, Lee Joo-bin (Tarot), Lee Kwang-soo (No Way Out – The Roulette), and Lee Da-hee (Island), the policy plan is set to begin on March 31 this month. [MBC]

• KBS came out with their first poster for 24-Hour Health Club, putting up notices for the fitness regime launching in the Wednesday-Thursday slot on April 30. Starring Lee Jun-young (Melo Movie) and Jung Eun-ji (Miss Night and Day) as our opposites-attract pair, time is money muscle in this sports rom-com and the nefarious sweet potato that I just ate yesterday is a big no-no as well.

• TVING has reportedly put a hold on Running Mate in a short-notice decision and is currently re-discussing a more suitable period for release. With production led by Parasite’s co-screenwriter Han Jin-won – in addition to co-writing by Hong Ji-soo and Oh Do-gun – the youth series stars Yoon Hyun-soo (Chief Detective 1958), Lee Jung-shik (Tracer) and Choi Woo-sung (Chief Detective 1958) among others in the ensemble cast.

• MBC dropped a new poster for Crushology 101, where there’s a plentiful sea of handsome fish in Noh Jung-eui’s (The Witch) college waters. Premiering in the weekend slot on April 4, the campus romance will be following our heroine’s eeny, meeny, miny, moe between Lee Chae-min (Hierarchy), Jo Joon-young (All That We Loved), Kim Hyun-jin (My Sweet Mobster), and Hong Min-ki (Study Group).
