My Holo Love is about how unexpected love finds a lonely woman when she forms a connection with a humanlike hologram who looks exactly like his prickly creator.

Go Nan Do (Yoon Hyun Min) is the owner of an IT research company who supposedly died while being pursued 10 years ago when he was a hacker. Han So Yeon (Go Sung Hee) is an accomplished assistant manager working at a glasses company. However, she suffers from prosopagnosia, the inability to recognise faces.

If you like dramas not solely focused on romance, this drama also of a sci-fi genre will probably interest you!

Starring Park Min Young and Seo Kang Joon, both established actors who have participated in various projects, it's safe to say I'll Find You on a Beautiful Day is one of the most anticipated K-dramas of 2020!

This drama is a story about forgiveness, healing, and love. Hae Won (Park Min Young) is warm-hearted lady but has grown tired of big city life. One day, she decides to return to her hometown, a small village in the countryside, far away from the hustle and bustle of Seoul.

She then meets Eun Seop (Seo Kang Joon), an independent bookstore owner. Eun Seop lives his life at a much slower pace than most of the people Hae Won knew in Seoul. Life in the countryside slowly thaws Hae Won's frozen heart and the two find themselves attracted to one another.

Having acted in two popular romantic comedies What's Wrong With Secretary Kim and Her Private Life prior to this drama, fans will be able to see a new side of Park Min Young in this romantic melodrama.

The King: The Eternal Monarch will be Lee Min Ho's first drama after his discharge from military so everyone is really thrilled and can't wait to see him on their TV screen again!

Acting alongside Lee Min Ho is Kim Go Eun who acted in the hit 2016 drama, Goblin.

The King: The Eternal Monarch is about two parallel universes of a monarchy and a democracy. Emperor Lee Gon (Lee Min Ho) tries to close the door between the two worlds and ends up joining forces with Jung Tae Eul (Kim Go Eun), a modern day detective.

Written by Kim Eun Sook, the same writer behind many hit K-dramas such as Descendants of the Sun and Goblin, we know this will probably be a good one and can't wait for it to air!

Unfortunately, no official teasers for the drama has been released as of yet so we can only wait to catch a glimpse of what the drama looks like. What we do know though, is that the drama is slated to air in the first half of 2020!

#4 Convenience Store Saet Byul

Based on the popular webtoon of the same name, Convenience Store Saet Byul will tell the story of convenience store owner Choi Dae Hyun (Ji Chang Wook) and part-time employee Jung Saet Byul (Kim Yoo Jung).

Choi Dae Hyun is blessed with handsome looks but has a clumsy side. He winds up running a convenience store after leaving his job at a large company. He meets the tough and quirky Jung Saet Byul, who is determined to leave her past behind and make a fresh start as a young woman who is willing to fight for justice.

It's the first time Ji Chang Wook and Kim Yoo Jung are working together but having years of acting experience under their belts, we are sure they will be able to pull their roles off well.

No official teasers have been released for this drama too, but it's scheduled to premiere sometime in fall 2020!
