March 2020 Watchlist
This is my March watchlist. It is a good month to be a Korean drama fan as we are spoilt with so many new and awesome shows. And of course, Westworld is finally back on our screens! And Netflix has a new German-language drama that I’m intrigued by.
Hyena - Netflix & SBS - Already airing
Yes, March is very much the month of Ju Ji-hoon (Kingdom S2 is also coming out this month! see below), who is one of the most versatile and intriguing actors in Korea (my opinion anyway). Hyena sees Ju portray hotshot lawyer Yoon Hee-Jae, who comes into conflict with a scrappy willing to do anything for money lawyer Jung Geum-Ja (played by Kim Hye-Soo). From the preview and the first few episodes that have already aired this drama feels like it’s going to be so much fun and the dynamic between Ju and Kim is already epic!
I'll Go to You When the Weather is Nice - Viki & JTBC - Already Airing
The synopsis of this drama is that a woman moves back to the countryside to escape the pressures of city life where she encounters a handsome bookshop owner she used to know. I’m sold already. The first couple of episodes have set the scene beautifully and I can feel that this is going to be one of my favourite dramas this year as the vibe is a mix of Chocolate and Romance is a Bonus Book (both on Netflix! so go watch!).
Castlevania Season 3 - Netflix - March 5th
Castlevania is finally back! I love this anime and season 3 looks like it’s going to be just as epic as the first two. I don’t have any more to say other than amazing animation, awesome voice acting and vampires!
Kingdom Season 2 - Netflix - March 13th
After that season 1 cliffhanger I have been itching to watch season 2 and its finally almost here! I wrote a blog post last year as to why I am obsessed with this show so if you haven’t read that go do it now and if you haven’t watched season 1 yet, get on netflix and binge it!
Westworld Season 3 - Sky Atlantic/Now TV & HBO - March 15th
The stakes have got even higher for Westworld Season 3 and I am all for it. I am excited to see where this journey into the world outside the theme park takes the characters, and it looks like Dolores is going to go full-on revolutionary mode. Also, some cool new additions to the already impeccable cast include the dude from breaking bad and Vincent Cassel. Said dude from Breaking Bad is Aaron Paul..it took me a while to remember his name.
A Piece of Your Mind - March 23rd - Viki & TvN
Jung Hae-in is back in another romance drama! Yay! I swear he always plays the most swoon-worthy characters, so hopefully, the trend continues. A Piece of Your Mind follows Ha Won a programmer who falls in love with Han Seo-Woo, a classical musician. I am all about random romantic partnerships as it’s interesting to see how people from completely different worlds connect.
Freud - Netflix - March 23rd - Netflix & ORF
This Austrian TV show follows a young Freud as he uses psychoanalysis to solve an occult murder mystery in late 19th-century Vienna. Oh count me in, this show feels like it could be the new Penny Dreadful mixed with Hannibal. Hopefully, I am right.
Let me know in the comments what TV shows your looking forward to this month!
