In April, South Korean viewers can look forward to a fierce competition among various highly anticipated dramas scheduled for release on major television networks. Among the most awaited titles is '21st Century Grand Lady', which will premiere on April 10 on MBC. The drama stars IU and Byeon Woo-seok, both of whom have garnered significant attention for their previous projects. Set in a constitutional monarchy in the 21st century, the story revolves around a beautiful and intelligent woman, Sung Hee-joo (played by IU), who is frustrated with her commoner status, and a sad prince, Ian Daegun (played by Byeon Woo-seok), who has nothing despite being the king's son. The narrative takes a twist when they enter into a contract marriage to achieve their individual goals. This series is noted for winning a screenplay contest by MBC, backed by the impressive work of writer Yoo Ji-won.

Another noteworthy drama is 'Everyone is Fighting Their Worthlessness', written by the acclaimed Park Hae-young, who previously created hits like 'My Ahjussi' and 'My Liberation Notes'. Scheduled to air on JTBC from April 18, it features a strong cast including Koo Gyo-hwan and Go Yoon-jung. The plot centers on individuals struggling with feelings of inadequacy within the film industry, focusing on the journey of a director who has yet to debut amidst a group of successful peers, and a producer known for her sharp film reviews. The two characters will embark on a narrative that explores their vulnerabilities and the healing power of acknowledging each other’s worth.

Additionally, tvN has already launched its ambitious project, a drama titled 'How to Become a Building Owner in South Korea', which debuted on April 14. Each of these serials brings together star-studded casts and compelling narratives, promising an exciting viewing experience for fans of K-dramas and adding to the competitive landscape of South Korean television.
