Netflix is leveling up big time with this one. The streaming giant confirmed that Byeon Woo-seok will headline the forthcoming live-action adaptation of Solo Leveling. The Korean heartthrob, fresh off his swoon-worthy stint in Lovely Runner, is trading in romance for ruthless battles and mysterious dungeons.

With the original web novel already a beast in the digital fiction world, and the anime adaptation breaking records in 2025, this new chapter is gearing up to slice straight into global screens.

You can’t talk about global webtoon takeovers without mentioning Solo Leveling. What started as a humble Korean web novel by Chugong quickly snowballed into a digital behemoth, thanks to its pulse-racing plot and the hauntingly good artwork by the late Jang Sung-rak, aka Dubu.

Park Hyung Sik was the lead in Buried Hearts, which had topped the weekend rankings during its run. The show brought in a mix of drama, politics, and a whole lot of conspiracy. After the success of Buried Hearts, the attention is back on the actor once again owing to his upcoming supernatural fantasy drama, Twelve. What makes this drama different for Park is that he will be portraying an antagonist role.

After releasing a few stills from the drama on June 30, 2025, the makers have now released an official poster for the drama, as per Adenews. In the poster, the protagonist and the antagonist are facing each other. Ma Dong Seok is on the left with a tiger stripe image in the background, and a fireball is placed in the corner.

Who Are The 5 Highest-Paid Korean Actors? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

In recent years, K-content has become widely popular among the global audience. Almost everyone has been mesmerized by K-dramas, their melodramatic magic, relatable plotlines, and charming actors and actresses. Be it a survival drama like Squid Game, a zombie thriller like All Of Us Are Dead, or a romantic comedy like Queen of Tears, the Korean entertainment industry has clearly made its way into our hearts.

Actors like Kim Soo-Hyun, Park Seo-Joon, and Song Joong-Ki carved out their careers in the industry and became the highest-paid actors. The most astonishing part is that despite getting embroiled in a scandalous controversy, Soo-Hyun still comes under this list. Let’s learn more about the highest-paid South Korean actors as of 2025.

5. Lee Min-Ho

The list of the top 5 highest-paid actors ends with Lee Min-Ho. From Boys Over Flowers to Legend of the Blue Sea to The King: Eternal Monarch,...

The much-hyped spinoff of Gabriel Macht’s Suits didn’t last more than a season. The show failed to take advantage of the popularity of its prequel show. Fans expected something similar in tone to the original show, but the LA version failed to make a case for itself. However, there was one remake of Macht’s show that managed to retain the magic of the original.

This Korean remake, with the same name as the original, came a year before the final season of the American version. Unlike the 134-episode-long original show, the remake lasted only for 16 episodes, which is the norm for many scripted shows on South Korean television. But these episodes were enough for the show to garner a fanbase just like its U.S. counterpart.

It took a Korean remake to nail what Gabriel Macht’s Suits did Jang Dong-gun as Choi Kang-Seok and Park Hyung-sik...

Several years before the legal drama series "Suits" saw a resurgence on Netflix after its original television broadcast run, the show connected with South Korean audiences in a unique way. A K-drama remake of "Suits," sharing the same title as its American source material, premiered on Korean television in 2018. Whereas the original show ran for nine seasons, its Korean remake only aired for 16 episodes, which is admittedly the norm for many scripted series in South Korea. Even with its significantly shorter length, the K-drama "Suits" still retains the broad strokes of the original story, albeit from a South Korean cultural perspective.

Like its American counterpart, the Korean "Suits" retains its core focus on the partnership and friendship between two lawyers, one established and the other just starting out their career. Veteran attorney Choi Kang-seok (Jang Dong-gun) takes Go Yeon-woo (Park Hyung-sik) under his wing, despite the latter not having a law degree.

Every actor puts their hard work and dedication into portraying the intricate details of the characters they are playing in a drama or a movie. The competition is too high and complicated in present times, as with each passing day, the popularity of Korean entertainment is growing. Now, April’s brand reputation rankings for actors have been released, and here’s who ranked in what position.

This year’s list featured names like Park Hyung-Sik, Lee Byung-Hun, Gong Yoo, and more. Scroll ahead to find out.

The Korean Business Research Institute (Via Soompi) revealed the actor brand reputation ranking based on a data analysis of the media coverage, participation, interaction, and community indexes of 100 actors who appeared in dramas, movies, or Ott content released between March 22 and April 22. The top 30 names have been listed for this year’s month of April.

It's a sad fact of entertainment that not all movies and television shows are created equal, with every great project balanced by at least one that's subpar at best. This axiom, of course, is also true of K-dramas, the blanket term used for scripted television from South Korea of any genre. As numerous celebrated K-dramas find widespread success with international audiences, more Korean movies and shows are available overseas through popular streaming platforms like Netflix. However, there are just some shows on Netflix that you should probably steer clear of, or at least strongly consider watching different Korean shows over instead.

With some projects suffering from formulaic writing or a clear lack of chemistry between lead actors in romance series, not every K-drama is going to be the next "Squid Game." This certainly isn't a dig on Netflix, with the platform curating a growing library of excellent K-dramas to check out.

If there’s anyone who knows how to make a good twisted thriller, it’s the Koreans. I mean, we’ve all heard of the Oldboys and I Saw The Devils. And while there are some deeply disturbing and really interesting K-dramas that fit in the same category, often, over the 16 long episodes, they get lost a little bit. I’m hoping Buried Hearts will not fall into this category. Park Hyung-Sik’s new drama was initially a little bit boring thanks to the overtly romantic bits that made it somewhat sappy for the genre it was going for, but as the series progresses it gets more compelling as a tale of revenge that throws you off its scent at every given chance. But that’s enough rambling; let’s get straight into the 9th episode of Buried Hearts. Also yes, I’m glad it is nothing like the disaster that was The Impossible Heir.

Iu after a long hiatus has finally returned to the world of K-dramas with Netflix’s When Life Gives You Tangerines. While the drama is earning great viewership ratings, reports were speculating about the actress’s sky-high salary per episode. However, the production team of the series has denied all the rumors and put the whole situation straight.

The actress can be seen sharing screen space with Park Bo-Gum for the first time. The audience has been loving their onscreen and offscreen chemistry. They have already become the new cute onscreen duo. The drama is getting so much attention because of its heartwarming storyline and the relevance of the characters. Even though the production team has already shut down those speculations, the Hotel del Luna actress deserves such a high pay scale for her performance.

Park Hyung Sik Replaces Kim Soo Hyun As Highest-Paid Korean Actor (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Apart from his good looks, charm, and acting skills, Kim Soo Hyun once garnered widespread popularity as the highest-paid Korean actor. However, since the controversy began after Kim Sae Ron’s death, he has witnessed a significant dip in his popularity. From losing Instagram followers to losing major brand deals and projects, his career is facing an extreme setback right now as his public image continues to get tainted. Amid the situation, an online community post revealed who has replaced Kim Soo Hyun as the highest-paid Korean actor, and it is not Park Seo Joon and Jung Hae In.

The Queen of Tears star previously held the spot with major projects like One Ordinary Day (2021) and It’s Okay to Not Be Okay (2020), for which he reportedly charged 500 million Krw per episode. For his latest hit, Queen of Tears,...

Prepare for intense action, gripping drama, and plenty of undead thrills because Netflix will be releasing a fan-favorite Korean zombie series on its platform tomorrow! Can you guess what show we're talking about?

No, it's not All of Us Are Dead. However, that's another great Korean zombie series. A second season of this show has been in the works at Netflix for a while now, but it's unknown when it will come out.

The zombie show that we'll be talking about in this article is Happiness. Unlike All of Us Are Dead, which is a Netflix original, Happiness is a show in which Netflix acquired the streaming rights. This means it won't stay on the streaming platform forever. So, it's imperative that you get to watching it as soon as possible.

Happiness is a Studio Dragon production. This well-known South Korean television production company is known for being behind other...

Sweet Home released its third and final season on July 19, 2024, but there is another K-drama, Happiness, starring Park Hyung-sik and Han Hyo-joo that is perfect for anyone missing the horror K-drama. With Sweet Home’s cast led by Song Kang, Lee Do-hyun, and Lee Jin-wook, the show sees its characters fight against a monster outbreak that begins in an apartment complex called Green Home. The show’s meteoric success was an inspiration for other horror K-dramas, but very few have achieved Sweet Home’s level of popularity.

While there are other K-dramas about zombie outbreaks, Happiness is the one that would resonate more with fans of Sweet Home because of how similar the premises for the shows are. Like Sweet Home, Happiness also sees its characters get infected by a zombie virus and try to find a cure. Happiness perfectly combines action, mystery, romance, and science in a way that...

As someone who has been a fan of K-dramas for many years, there are several actors I never get tired of watching. From boisterous romantic comedies to tragic thrillers, these actors have delivered outstanding performances in some of the best K-dramas of all time, improving their filmographies with every new release. Their commitment to their roles brings a vibrant addition to each new project, and I'm always excited to see what new characters these actors will take on next.

Netflix K-dramas such as Squid Game and The Glory have helped the K-drama genre to rise in popularity. I believe that actors have played a big part in this, as their delivery can often make or break a show. The K-drama genre is also incredibly diverse, and actors often have to stay on top of their game and push themselves to deliver the next best thing. While there are many who do this with great success,...

Korean Drama or K-Drama has been growing in popularity over the last few years. As usual, regional television shows generally hit their peak within the country that it’s produced in. For instance, back in the 1960s and 1970s, K-Drama was consumed almost exclusively in Korea.

Eventually, Korean-based projects made their way across the world following the end of the military rule in South Korea. Obviously, there would have been much more to watch during that time than just Death Row Prisoner (1956).
