As the month of June unfolds, viewers can expect a captivating array of new series across a range of genres, ranging from gripping action thrillers to heartwarming romantic comedies. Netflix, in particular, is set to launch its latest Korean original series, "Bloodhounds," on June 9, while local networks also present their own exciting lineup of shows.
"Bloodhounds," an intense action-packed series, is an adaptation of the popular webcomics of the same name. Spanning eight episodes, the story revolves around two promising young boxers, Kim Geon-woo (Woo Do-hwan) and Hong Woo-jin (Lee Sang-yi). Kim finds himself entangled in the dangerous world of loan sharks when his mother incurs a significant debt owed to the ruthless Kim Myeong-gil (Park Sung-woong). With the help of Hong, they form an alliance with a compassionate moneylender to take down the predatory loan shark, who preys on those in dire financial circumstances. Notably, this marks the directorial debut of filmmaker Kim Joo-hwan, known for his 2017 comedy action film "Midnight Runners."
Actress Kim Tae-hee, known for her captivating performances, returns to the small screen with the ENA suspense thriller series, "Lies Hidden in My Garden," after a three-year hiatus since her leading role in the drama series "Hi Bye, Mama!" in 2020. Adapted from the novel of the same name, the narrative follows the life of Moon Joo-ran (Kim), a contented housewife married to a doctor. However, her tranquility is disrupted when she investigates a peculiar smell emanating from her backyard, leading her to encounter Chu Sang-eun (Lim Ji-yeon), a disadvantaged woman from a completely different background. As their paths intertwine, their lives take unexpected turns. The eight-part series, helmed by director Jung Ji-hyun, renowned for the hit romance series "Twenty-Five Twenty-One" (2022), is set to premiere on June 19.
