KBS is revamping its weekend drama lineup with a star-studded cast set to bring fresh and exciting content to viewers from late this year into early 2026. The network plans to introduce a series of Saturday-Sunday dramas in August, aiming to enhance its weekend programming with compelling stories and talented actors.
KBS will kick off this new weekend schedule with the fantasy action series 'Twelve,' starring Ma Dong Seok, which follows twelve celestial beings inspired by the Eastern zodiac protecting humans from evil spirits. Following 'Twelve,' viewers can anticipate 'A Good Day for Eunsoo,' led by Lee Young Ae and Kim Young Kwang, and 'Last Summer,' starring Lee Jae Wook and Choi Sung Eun, offering intriguing and heartwarming stories.
In January 2025, 'My Dearest Thief' will premiere, featuring Nam Ji Hyun and Moon Sang Min in a romantic comedy historical drama that promises a humorous and unpredictable journey with a body-swap twist. This new lineup is expected to inject new vigor into KBS and attract a diverse audience with its mix of romance, comedy, and historical elements.
KBS's strategic programming shift aims to enhance its competitiveness in the weekend drama slot and build on the success of recent hits like 'Korea–Khitan War' and 'For Eagle Brothers.' Viewers can anticipate a more dynamic drama experience on KBS, as the network finalizes its broadcast schedules and adopts a flexible programming strategy to cater to both weekday and weekend audiences.
