Jang Dong-Yoon as Prince Chungnyeong in a still from Joseon Exorcist, one of several Korean dramas launching in March to look out for.
After a very busy February release calendar, March promises another enticing line-up of new Korean drama series.

Netflix will drop the second season of one of its most popular shows, a new period horror series will challenge the might of Kingdom, and Sweet Home star Song Kang will appear in two shows. Throw in a thriller, a romcom and a makjang drama, and March has something for everyone to look forward to, no matter their tastes. 

Mouse

Previously scheduled for late February but now launching in early March, this tense serial killer thriller from tvN stars Lee Seung-gi (Vagabond) as Jeong Ba-reum, a young police officer whose world is turned upside down when he crosses paths with a vicious serious killer.

Lee Hee-joon (The Man Standing Next) plays his older partner, Go Moo-chi, and together they begin to investigate what makes violent psychopaths tick.

In a show that calls to mind David Fincher’s Netflix series Mindhunters, the pair go deeper and deeper, even experimenting with genetic testing in fetuses, to identify monsters before birth. (March 3, tvN)

Love Alarm S2

Following its first season, which debuted in summer 2019, Love Alarm is back with six episodes next month. Based on the webtoon of the same name, this romantic drama takes place in an alternative reality where a pervasive mobile app can notify users if someone in their vicinity has romantic feelings for them.
