K-drama land is about to POP OFF this April, and I’m honestly not emotionally prepared. Get your snacks, your tissues, and your group chat ready because these five upcoming dramas are serving everything from ghosts to grim reapers to HOT doctors (yes, plural). Let’s dive into what’s premiering and why we’re already obsessed—before the first episode even airs!

💔 Way Back Love – Prepare Your Heart (and Tears)

Airs: April 3, 2025
Starring: Gong Myung & Kim Min Ha

Umm... ghost boyfriend who’s also your first love??? SIGN ME UP AND RIP MY HEART. 🥺 Jung Hui Wan has no will to live, but when her dead best friend/first love/grim reaper shows up, she gets a second chance at life (and love). It’s giving tragic, magical, and bucket list romance goals. This one’s gonna break us—in the best way.

Why we’re watching: Gong Myung as a grim reaper with unfinished love?? K-drama gold.

👀 Karma – Secrets, Trauma & Twists Incoming

Airs: April 4, 2025
Starring: Park Hae Soo & Shin Min Ah

This one’s for my mystery-thriller fans! Karma follows six people tangled in some seriously cursed fate, with accidents, shady deals, and old trauma resurfacing. Plus, we get a mysterious clinic in Gangnam and a dangerously charming girlfriend?! YES. I’m ready for twists, turns, and yelling “WHAT JUST HAPPENED” at the screen every episode.

Why we’re watching: It’s dark, messy, and full of secrets—hello, thriller queen behavior.

🏥 Resident Playbook – Hospital Squad Goals

Airs: April 12 – May 18, 2025
Starring: Go Youn Jung & Kang Yoo Seok

Y’all. A medical slice-of-life series about OB-GYN residents trying to survive in a world where no one wants to have babies anymore? Yes. Please. If you loved Hospital Playlist vibes but wanted something a little younger, a little messier, and very 2025, this is the one to binge while crying into your ramen.

Why we’re watching: Found family, late-night snacks, and chaotic hospital friendships? We live for it.

👻 The Haunted Palace – Ghosts, Royalty & Forbidden Powers

Airs: April 18 – June 7, 2025
Starring: Yook Sung Jae & Bona

Okay this one has EVERYTHING: palace intrigue, possession by ancient creatures, forbidden love, powerful female ghosts out for revenge, and a strong-willed glass craftswoman who might also be a shaman. I’m LIVING. This is the spooky-sageuk fantasy drama we all needed.

Why we’re watching: Possessed hot guys + badass female lead + royal ghost revenge?? A masterpiece in the making.

👊 Weak Hero Class 2 – Still Not Over Season 1

Airs: April 2025
Starring: Park Ji Hoon

YES, KING. Si Eun is BACK, and he’s mad, traumatized, and still fighting his way through high school hell. Season 1 was a straight-up punch to the heart, and now he’s transferring schools to face even worse violence? I’m scared for him and I will be watching every single episode with my fists clenched.

Why we’re watching: Park Ji Hoon’s acting is a knockout (literally), and this sequel is about to hit harder than the first.

📝 Final Thoughts:

April is looking like a total drama buffet. You want tears? Way Back Love.
You want secrets? Karma.
You want heartwarming chaos? Resident Playbook.
You want vibes that say “ghosts in hanboks”? The Haunted Palace.
And if you want raw, gritty feels? Weak Hero Class 2 has you covered.

I will not be leaving my house in April. Streaming schedule = booked. 🫶
