As broadcasters, cable networks and streaming services compete against each other with full to bursting production pipelines, Korean drama casting announcements have been flying thick and fast recently.

Here are a few of the most exciting developments this month.

Now We’re Breaking Up

Song Hye-kyo (Descendants of the Sun) hasn’t been on screens for more than two years, but now it looks like she may be appearing in two upcoming shows. After recently signing on to the revenge drama The Glory, Song has also been confirmed alongside Jang Ki-yong (The Bad Guys: Reign of Chaos) in the romantic drama Now, We’re Breaking Up (literal title) from broadcaster SBS.

Song will play Ha Young-eun, the design team leader in a fashion company who is a self-disciplined realist. Meanwhile, Jang will play Yoon Jae-kook, a gregarious and charming freelance fashion photographer who is Young-eun’s opposite.

Joining the leads will be Choi Hee-seo of Deliver Us from Evil and Kim Joo-hun, last seen in Start-Up. Filming starts next month with an airing date expected in the second half of the year.
