September closes out with another week of new K-drama releases and returning favourites, with family drama, military comedy, workplace stories, fantasy romance and music all finding a place in the lineup. The latest K-drama releases of the week (Sep 28-Oct 4) begin with Kim Hee-jung and Kang Kyung-hun's Mission: Mompossible and Kim Min-ho's New Recruit 4: Sabotage, followed by Lee Jun-hyuk's The Ordinary Jackpot and Kim Ji-yeon, Park Seo Ham and Jang Se-hyuk's Dive Into You. The week also brings new episodes of A Love Other Than Yours, Salon De Nabi and Song Kang's Four Hands, Two Sonatas.
Kim Hee-jung plays Jo Mi-mi, a mother who has spent years putting her three children first, only to find herself pushed to breaking point by their grown-up problems. Kang Kyung-hun plays another mother whose approach to family could not be more different. As their children's lives become intertwined, old secrets and family tensions begin to surface. The KBS1 weekday drama premiered on September 28.
Kim Min-ho returns as Park Min-seok in the final two episodes of New Recruit 4: Sabotage. His promotion to corporal has hardly made military life easier, with a mysterious recruit and a new commander adding another layer of chaos. Episodes 11 and 12 close out the fourth season, with Viki carrying the series with subtitles.
Lee Jun-hyuk stars as Gong Eun-tae, an ordinary office worker whose lottery win gives him 1.3 billion won after tax, but not the urge to walk away from his job. Instead, the money changes the way he sees work and the people around him. Episodes 7 and 8 arrive this week, with the series available to Indian viewers on Prime Video.
Kim Ji-yeon, better known as Bona, leads this fantasy romance as actress Yoon Ha-na, who swaps bodies with her twin brother Yoon Ha-ru, played by Jang Se-hyuk. After discovering a way to travel back in time, the siblings try to prevent the death of Ha-na's first love, played by Park Seo Ham. Episodes 3 and 4 continue the story this weekend on Viki.
Seo Kang-jun and Ahn Eun-jin play a couple entering their tenth year together, when the comfort of a long relationship begins to look very different from the excitement that brought them together. Episodes 5 and 6 continue the emotional tug-of-war between staying and starting over. Prime Video lists the new episodes for October 3 and 4 in India.
At a neighbourhood hair salon, Gi-bbeum is trying to find her footing among experienced stylists, difficult customers and the everyday complications that follow both into and out of work. Kim Hyang-gi and Choi Daniel lead the workplace drama, with Episodes 5 and 6 scheduled for October 3 and 4. Indian streaming availability is currently not listed by JustWatch.
Song Kang, Lee Jun-young and Jang Gyu-ri star in a coming-of-age music drama set at an elite arts high school. Two gifted pianists from very different backgrounds find themselves drawn together through friendship, rivalry and their shared ambition, while Jang Gyu-ri's character completes the central trio.
