Korean fever continues on SKY as it gives the entire family a wide-ranging line-up of shows across genres—from romance to thriller to reality shows—on TvN, Kix, KBS World, and K Plus channels, all this month of June.
Some of the must-watch shows in the roster are K-dramas Sweet Munchies, Soul Mechanic, Prison Playbook, 2 Weeks, and How To Buy A Friend.
Sweet Munchies is not your ordinary tale of a love triangle. Jung Il Woo (Park Jin-Sung) is a chef and a bar-owner down on his luck, struggling to pay for his father’s medical bills. When regular bar customer Kang Ji Young (Kim Ah Jin) asks him if he knew a gay chef who could star in her latest project, he lies about his sexual preference and offers himself for the part. Things get complicated and trouble ensues when they start fighting over one man. Airing every Tuesday and Wednesday at 9:15 p.m. on K Plus, the drama is shown within 24 hours of its South Korea airing.
Soul Mechanic promises to be a roller coaster ride of emotions with the story of Lee Shi-Joon (Shin Ha Kyun), psychiatrist and rising actress Han Woo-Joo (Jung So-Min). He is a passionate doctor with unorthodox ways in curing people of their emotional wounds while she has anger issues and mental breakdowns that threatens her career. Catch Soul Mechanic every Thursday and Friday at 9:10 p.m. on KBS World, as it airs simultaneously in Korea.
In Prison Playbook, Korea’s best baseball pitcher Je-Hyeok (Park Hae-Soo) is all set to make his major league debut in the US. But his new life is put on hold when he gets into a struggle with a man who assaults his sister. Convicted of using excessive force, he is sentenced to a year in prison. Get acquainted with the stories of convicts, their families, and officers working in prison every Tuesday and Wednesday at 9:20 p.m. on TvN.
2 Weeks takes viewers to the dangerous world of the small-time gangster Jang Tae San. When he discovers from a past relationship that he has a daughter awaiting a bone marrow transplant, he also learns only he could save her life. Taking this as a chance to pay for his past sins, he agrees to undergo surgery. But many obstacles stand in the way—he is framed by gangmates for murder and must evade the police. He must get to his daughter without getting caught in two weeks or she dies. Premiering on June 25, it airs every Thursday and Friday at 10:00 p.m. on KIX.
Valuable life lessons abound in How to Buy a Friend. Don Hyuk becomes his high school’s prized fighter after his girlfriend’s suicide. As the tragedy takes a toll on him, he gets into fights and sent to detention. Returning to school after one of his scuffles, he meets Park Chan Hong, a bullied student with talent for writing. With a simultaneous airing in Korea, the show airs every Friday at 5:15 p.m. on KBS World.
