When is Park Seo Joon and Won Ji An's Waiting For Gyeongdo releasing? JTBC teases release window with 4 other big titles
JTBC has revealed its exciting Saturday-Sunday drama lineup for the second half of 2025, promising a series of major releases. Beginning July 2025, new episodes will air Saturdays at 10:40 PM KST and Sundays at 10:30 PM KST. The official premiere dates are still pending. However, examining the schedule provides fans with a good estimate of when Park Seo Joon's highly anticipated drama, Waiting For Gyeongdo, is likely to debut.
Waiting For Gyeongdo
A fan-favorite in the making, Waiting For Gyeong Do, is slated to be part of the Saturday-Sunday drama block. The drama brings nostalgia with humor and is expected to premiere around late November to early December.
Featuring Park Seo Joon and Won Ji An, the drama follows two former lovers who reunite unexpectedly later in life. Initially falling in love at the age of twenty, their paths diverged, only to cross again at an inconvenient but fateful time.
Good Boy: Starring Park Bo Gum and Kim So Hyun, it is to premiere on May 31. With 16 episodes, the series will conclude on July 20. This is a comedic action drama centered on a team of former national athletes: Yoon Dong Joo (Park Bo Gum), Ji Han Na (Kim So Hyun), Kim Jong Hyun (Lee Sang Yi), Go Man Sik (Heo Sung Tae), and Shin Jae Hong (Tae Won Suk). They transition into police officers after being selected through a special recruitment initiative.
Esquire: A new drama starring Lee Jin Wook and Jung Chae Yeon, is likely to start late July. Esquire is a legal drama inspired by real-life cases. It stars Lee Jin Wook as a cold, elite lawyer and Jung Chae Yeon as a principled yet socially awkward rookie attorney.
A Hundred Memories: This story featuring Kim Da Mi and Shin Ye Eun is expected to launch in early September. Set in the 1980s, this romance drama follows bus conductor Go Young Rye (Kim Da Mi) and her best friend Seo Jong Hee (Shin Ye Eun). It explores friendship, love, and memories from a bygone era.
Manager Kim's Story: With Ryu Seung Ryong in the lead, the drama could debut in mid to late October. Based on a webtoon, the story centers on a middle-aged man who loses everything he once held dear. Through a long journey, he rediscovers his true identity beyond his former role as a corporate manager.
While fans eagerly await official confirmation from JTBC, the drama calendar is already shaping up to deliver a mix of romance, comedy, and suspense. Stay tuned for updates as premiere dates are formally announced in the coming weeks.

'Good Boy' review: Park Bo-gum's action-comedy lands strong punches with flair, fun characters, and knockout energy
'Good Boy' is the kind of show that winks at you right from the start. It knows it's here to entertain – and so far, it's doing a pretty good job of it. This new South Korean action-comedy series, written by Lee Dae-il and directed by Shim Na-yeon, brings together a pretty exciting mix of things: former sports stars turned police officers, stylish action sequences, and just the right dash of heart and humor. The cast? A total treat – Park Bo-gum, Kim So-hyun, Oh Jung-se, Lee Sang-yi, Heo Sung-tae, and Tae Won-seok all bring something fun and fresh to the screen. The show premiered with some fanfare in Bangkok on May 31st, 2025, and is streaming across several platforms – Netflix, Disney+ (in South Korea), and Amazon Prime Video globally. So, yes, it's accessible and buzz-worthy. But is it worth diving into? Based on the first two episodes, we'd say yes – with some cautious optimism. Let's start with the tone. 'Good Boy' doesn't try to be mysterious or overly serious. It sets out to be fun and succeeds. The plot centres around five former athletes who, for various reasons, leave behind their sports careers and end up as part of a special crime-fighting police unit. It's a bit of a stretch conceptually, sure, but it's played with such charm that you're happy to go along for the ride. You don't actually see much of their sports pasts until the final stretch of episode one, which honestly turns out to be a great little payoff. Up until then, you're getting to know them as quirky, flawed, but very likable characters adjusting to their new lives. And when the action kicks in? It's worth the wait. Park Bo-gum, fresh off the international success of 'When Life Gives You Tangerines', slides effortlessly into this new, very different role. It might seem hard to top that last hit, but to be fair, 'Good Boy' isn't trying to top it – it's doing its own thing. Here, Bo-gum plays a boxer-turned-cop, and he's got the charm and physicality to make it believable. His scenes, especially the ones in motion, are shot beautifully. The camera work during action sequences – particularly with Bo-gum and Lee Sang-yi, who plays a former fencer – is sharp, fluid, and engaging. You feel like you're in the middle of it with them, catching every punch, lunge, and fall. Kim So-hyun holding a massive gun wasn't on anyone's 2025 bingo card, but hey – we love surprises. While her sport didn't exactly prep her for close combat, she still pulls off her action moments with a steady hand and some fierce energy. It's nice to see her stepping into such a strong, confident role, even if we haven't seen the full range of her abilities just yet. One moment that absolutely deserves a shoutout is from Shin Jae-hong – the gentle giant of the squad – who nails a sewer lid throw (yes, really) with all the flair of an Olympic shot-putter. It's one of those scenes that makes you sit up, grin, and go, 'Okay, now this is fun.' The last part of episode one, where we finally see all five characters tap into their athletic sides, is a total visual treat. And let's talk music. American artist MAX, known for his work with BTS's Suga and Le Sserafim's Huh Yun-jin, lends his voice to the main OST, 'Get In The Ring'. It's punchy, upbeat, and matches the vibe of the show perfectly. Using it during the climax of episode one was a smart move – it felt like the show officially entered the ring, pun absolutely intended. While the main trio – Bo-gum, Sang-yi, and So-hyun – are clearly in the spotlight, there's genuine excitement around the rest of the cast. Oh Jung-se, Heo Sung-tae, and Tae Won-seok haven't had their big moments yet, but knowing their range and past performances, we're betting they'll deliver soon. So, two episodes in, 'Good Boy' isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. But it's rolling along smoothly on good writing, great chemistry, fun action, and lots of promise. There's plenty of room for growth, and we're holding onto the benefit of the doubt that the best is yet to come. If you're looking for a show that's light, stylish, funny, and packed with heart – this just might be your next favorite watch.

When Life Gives You Tangerines actor Park Bo-gum reveals his plans for a Bollywood debut; here's what he said
In a year filled with too much new content, When Life Gives You Tangerines has carved out a special space in viewers' hearts. Known for its tearjerking storytelling, the K-drama has not only dominated OTT charts but also spotlighted the immense talent of its lead actor — Park Bo-gum. And if recent comments are anything to go by, Bo-gum might just be gearing up for a brand new adventure — in Bollywood. A post shared by PARK BO GUM (@bogummy) Bo-gum is currently on a press tour for his latest drama Good Boy, a high-octane story about Olympic athletes who trade medals for police badges and take on crime with sheer athletic prowess. The series is action-packed, emotionally intense, and layered with themes of resilience. But in between discussions of stunts and scripts, one question caught everyone's attention: Would Bo-gum ever consider working in India? The answer? A beaming yes. The actor lit up at the mention of India. 'India isn't just about great food. It has so much to offer. If given the chance, I'd love to travel there.' He continued, 'Hopefully, maybe all of us, the Good Boy team, can star in an Indian musical film altogether.' And yes — that's Bo-gum talking about singing and dancing in a Bollywood-style musical; honestly, we're already casting this in our heads. Though his filmography may be selectively curated, Bo-gum's choices are anything but casual. Reflecting on his recent roles, he shared, 'The first thing I look for is whether the script is entertaining to read. Would I recommend this to someone? Would it make you think, talk about it with family? That's what matters.' With Korean dramas finding global audiences, particularly in India, Bo-gum is aware of the growing responsibility. 'I know there are fans who study Korean and are curious about Korea through these shows,' he said thoughtfully. 'So, I'm more cautious about the dramas I choose to be part of.' Furthermore, his final note, directed at Indian audiences, was full of warmth: 'What's also really amazing is we didn't have a lot of chances to speak to or meet with Indian fans or the Indian media. And so, to be able to do something like this because you showed so much love for K-dramas, we are very grateful. It's a huge honour, and I feel very blessed.' In Good Boy, Bo-gum plays a boxing medallist turned cop — a role that taps into his physical prowess and screen presence. 'Personally in the story, my character is the one in charge of fist fights. I think as an actor, what I am good at is having that active energy, being action-first, and being very agile. I would say that's one of my strengths.' A post shared by PARK BO GUM (@bogummy) The role may be gritty and grounded, but it's clear that Bo-gum's dreams span genres and borders. While no official announcements have been made, the actor's openness to working in Indian cinema is making waves — and hopes — among fans
