Race

When: May 10 | Where: Disney+ Hotstar

Park Yoon-jo (Lee Yeon-hee) is a new employee in the PR department of a large firm. What Yoon-jo lacks in qualifications and experience, she more than makes up for in tenacity and drive.

My Perfect Stranger

When: May 1 | Where: Viki
Calm and sweet, Yoon Hae-joon (Kim Dong-wook) has toiled hard to climb the ladder at his broadcasting company and become the youngest news reporter ever. Baek Yoon-young (Jin Ki-joo) aspires to become a writer but is working at a publishing house to make ends meet.

All That We Loved

Delightfully Deceitful

When: May 29 | Where: Netflix (select regions)
