The military comedy returns for a fourth season, with Park Min-seok (Kim Min-ho) now promoted to corporal and hoping life in the barracks will become easier. Instead, a new battalion commander and a suspicious new recruit create fresh trouble for him and his fellow soldiers. Based on the popular web animation of the same name, the series continues its mix of humour and observations about life in the Korean military. Kim Dong-jun and Lee Won-jung return alongside Kim Min-ho, while Oh Dae-hwan joins the cast as the outgoing commander.
Lee Min-jung returns to television after six years, playing Baek Mi-young, the co-CEO of a wedding dress company she runs with her husband, Ji Won-ho (Kim Ji-seok). Seven years into their marriage, their business is facing financial trouble when Mi-young decides to ask for a divorce. However, the couple still has to work together to keep their company running. The drama follows their complicated relationship as they deal with both their failing marriage and struggling business.
Ryu Jun-yeol plays Moon-jae, a novelist whose identity, including his name, appearance and wealth, is stolen by a mysterious figure known as the Rat. Determined to get his life back, he teams up with No-ja (Sul Kyung-gu), a former loan shark, and detective Sun-yong (Lee Kyu-hyung), who is investigating the same case. Directed by Kim Hong-sun, the thriller draws on a Korean folk belief about rats transforming into people, adding another mysterious element to the story.
Gong Hyo-jin plays Yoo Bo-na, a working mother who secretly lives a second life as a skilled sniper known as Kingfisher. After three years away on maternity leave, Bo-na returns to work while continuing to hunt criminals who escaped justice. Her life becomes more complicated when her journalist husband begins investigating the Kingfisher case and gets closer to discovering her secret. The series combines action with family and workplace humour.
Ahn Bo-hyun returns as Jin Yi-soo, a wealthy heir who becomes a detective. After completing his police academy training, Yi-soo returns to the Violent Crimes Unit with more experience and a new team leader, Joo Hye-ra (Jung Eun-chae). However, his unusual methods continue to create problems. Yoo Seung-ho also joins the second season as another wealthy heir who becomes close to Yi-soo.
Song Kang returns to K-dramas after completing his military service, playing piano prodigy Kang Bi-o. He stars alongside Lee Jun-young, who plays Choi Jeong-yo, a talented musician who takes a different path to success. Jang Gyu-ri plays viola player Hong Jae-in.
