The eponymous character is played by <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/culture/squid-game-lee-yoo-mi-jiyoung-makes-history-at-the-2022-creative-arts-emmys" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lee Yoo-mi</a>, whom you might recognise from the 2021 thriller <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/culture/everything-we-know-about-netflix-squid-game-season-2-lee-jung-jae-gong-yoo" title="Everything We Know About 'Squid Game 2' So Far" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Squid Game</a>.

But things get messy when he finds out his wife shares a complex history with the leader of the cartel.

If romantic K-dramas are more your vibe, don&rsquo;t miss Doona!, that&rsquo;s coming to Netflix on October 20. This drama series stars Yang Se-Jong playing Lee Won-Ju, a regular guy who finds himself living in a share house with Lee Doona, a former K-pop idol, as portrayed by <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/fashion/suzy-bae-k-drama-comeback-doona-best-style-moments-celebrity-fashion" title="'Doona' Star, Suzy Bae's Best Style Moments to Inspire Your Fall Wardrobe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bae Suzy</a> who incidentally shares a similar fate. The actress was previously from the idol group Miss A, under the big-league entertainment agency JYP.

Castaway Diva

For those who seek more atypical storylines, Castaway Diva is the show for you. The drama focuses on Seo Mok-ha, as played by Park Eun-bin who captivated us in Extraordinary Attorney Woo, as a woman pursuing a not-so-rare dream of becoming an idol. There&rsquo;s only one difference: she has spent the last 15 years of her life stranded on a deserted island. While attempting to acclimate herself back to the outside world, the drama follows Mok-ha&rsquo;s determination to achieve her dreams as an adult. You can follow her story once the drama hits Netflix on October 28.
