Our Sticky Love

Play

Picture waking up with no memory of your own life, and a stranger insisting he’s your boyfriend. That’s the premise driving this 12-episode Korean drama, starring Ha Young as Eun-sae, a woman grappling with sudden amnesia, and Jung Hae-in as Tae-ha, the boxing coach who claims they’re already a couple. As Eun-sae slowly pieces her memory back together and an undeniable connection with Tae-ha starts to build, doubt creeps in too: was he really telling the truth about their relationship?

Four Hands, Two Sonatas

Play

Song Kang plays Kang Bi-O, a perfectionist piano prodigy, and is tipped to sweep the world’s top competitions. That confidence gets tested the moment Choi Jeong-Yo (Lee Jun-Young) walks in: a fellow piano prodigy who has spent years overlooking his own gift because of his unfortunate personal circumstances, and who has quietly admired Bi-O from afar. Rounding out the trio is Hong Jae-In (Jang Gyu-Ri), a viola major with an ear so sharp she can’t help but be drawn to Bi-O’s playing. What follows is a story of rivalry, friendship and first love, set against the pressure cooker of a school where everyone is fighting to be the best.

Four Hands, Two Sonatas will be available on Netflix from 29 August

The Affair Was Just the Beginning

Play

Kyung-hee has built the kind of life people envy. She has a thriving interior design business, a huge social media following and a marriage that looks picture-perfect from the outside. So when she starts suspecting her husband is cheating, it feels like the worst thing that could happen to her. It isn’t. What she actually stumbles onto is far more disturbing than an affair, a secret involving a cover-up so serious it makes infidelity look like small talk. As she scrambles to protect her family and keep up appearances, more truths come spilling out, dragging everyone into a spiral of blackmail and chaos.
