The Watch List: Three New TV Dramas to Keep You Busy During Quarantine

The drama world is a fast paced one and on any given day there are new releases debuting almost as fast as one can write about them.  

With such a buffet of options you’d be forgiven for not knowing what to watch.

Thus, to save you from this dire reality during this quarantine period, I present a shortlist of three soon-to-be released or ongoing shows that can help you while away some time:

  1. When My Love Blooms

Premiering on April 25, 2020, TVN’s When My Love Blooms is a Korean drama featuring Park Jinyoung of Kpop super group GOT7, as a young Han Jaehyun , a popular, yet headstrong law school student and Jeon So Nee, as a young Yoon Ji Soo, a college Freshman and music student. The duo fall in love but as first loves are wont to do the relationship ends tragically.

The drama conveys a story of rediscovery and second chances, where, Yoon ji Soo, now older and a single mother in her forties (played by Lee Bo Young) meets her former first love Han Jaehyun (played by Yoo Ji Tae), who is now older and weathered, and explores how the duo rekindle the flames of their relationship and start all over.
