Hallyu superstar and everyone's OG oppa Rain is *finally* making his small-screen comeback! The last time we've seen him in a K-drama was in 2019, and we're so happy that he'll be making our hearts flutter once again as an actor. For his latest project, Rain plays a skilled yet cold-hearted thoracic surgeon and he's teaming up with a chaebol's son who becomes a hospital resident—portrayed by Kim Bum aka our OG crush! Apart from being a medical drama, the show has a fantasy twist in the form of ghosts.
Another drama you can't miss out on is a Netflix original series that's based on a webtoon. The plot revolves around a zombie-infested high school where students try to survive. You'll spot some familiar faces here, from shows like Squid Game, Racket Boys, and Hospital Playlist.
