A new year calls for stories that linger. January’s lineup brings together quiet nostalgia, high-stakes mystery, and romance with a supernatural twist, each one asking what happens when the past refuses to stay buried.
“Forever Young”
Some promises never fade, they just wait for the right moment to return.
Ha Young has spent her life learning how to keep people at arm’s length. After years of constant moving and quiet goodbyes, she builds a world where nothing, and no one, can get too close. That world freezes entirely when a childhood promise is broken, leaving her secluded in the attic of a small café, suspended in time.
Everything shifts when Do Un appears, carrying an “Eternal List” she thought was long lost, a list of dreams written with someone who once meant everything. As forgotten memories resurface, Ha Young is forced to confront the life she paused and the emotions she never finished processing.
“Forever Young” is a tender, reflective story about time, regret, and the people who unknowingly shape who we become. It’s a slow-burn watch that rewards patience, perfect for viewers who love character-driven storytelling with a touch of melancholy hope.
“IDOL I”
Fame fades fast when the truth takes center stage.
By day, Maeng SeNa is one of the most formidable criminal defense attorneys in the country sharp, strategic, and nearly unbeatable in the courtroom. By night, she’s a devoted fan of Do LaIk, an idol whose flawless image feels almost untouchable.
When LaIk is arrested as the prime suspect in a murder case, SeNa makes the risky decision to defend him. But the man behind the spotlight is nothing like the idol she admired. As the investigation deepens, the case twists into something far darker than either of them expected, unraveling carefully constructed images and exposing long-hidden scars.
“IDOL I” blends legal thriller tension with a sharp critique of celebrity culture, asking how well we really know the people we idolize. With each episode, the line between performance and reality grows thinner and the truth becomes harder to escape.
“Evergreen”
When love becomes measurable, feelings are the variable you can’t control.
Oh Soo approaches romance the same way he approaches business: logically, efficiently, and without emotional risk. A venture capitalist by day and barista by night, he possesses an unusual ability he can see people’s romantic feelings as heat haze above their heads. Love, to him, is data.
That certainty shatters when a simple mistake entangles him with Yoo Ri, a police officer whose strong sense of justice and emotional honesty disrupt everything he believes about control. As past decisions resurface and consequences close in, Oh Soo is forced to confront a truth he’s long avoided: understanding love isn’t the same as feeling it.
“Evergreen” is a whimsical yet thoughtful romance that blends fantasy with emotional realism. It’s about fate, accountability, and the moment when logic gives way to something far more human.
