Disney Korean TV Slate

Blood Free

Starring Ju Jihoon and Han Hyojoo, Blood Free follows a former bodyguard haunted by the failures of his past. After diving down a rabbit hole of tangled leads, he finds himself recruited to protect the CEO of a controversial lab-grown meat company. The CEO is also a survivor of the fateful attack that changed his life.

Unmasked

Set in modern-day Seoul, Unmasked follows a crack team of investigative journalists who are fighting for their careers after broadcasting a controversial story. With time running out, the team are given an impossible task if they want to save their jobs – solve a twenty-year-old cold case involving a famous actor who disappeared without a trace. Unmasked stars Kim Hyesoo (Under The Queen’s Umbrella).

The Tyrant

The Tyrant follows a U.S. government agent as he tries to recover a deadly new virus stolen from the South Korean government. With everything at stake, this action-packed series sees global intelligence agencies battle against nefarious parties to prevent the virus spreading across the world.

Gangnam B-Side

A thrilling crime drama, Gangnam B-Side follows a pariah detective. He finds himself back in the game after his daughter’s friend goes missing. This is latest in a long line of women to go missing in the Gangnam area of Seoul.  The detective will delve back into a world of vice, drugs and corruption to uncover something that threatens to topple some of the city’s wealthiest elite.

The Zone: Survival Mission – Season 3

The popular Disney+ Korean variety has been renewed for its third season. Kwon Yuri and Yoo Jaesuk return alongside new hosts – former UFC fighter Kim Donghyun and popular YouTuber Dex. Together, the foursome will get up to more hijinks than ever before. Watch as they try to survive an increasingly complex range of challenges.

Uncle Samsik

Starring Parasite star Song Kang-ho, and Byun Yohan (Mr. Sunshine), Uncle Samsik is a societal drama set in 1960s Korea. The series follows an idealistic politician, and a mysterious political fixer called Uncle Samsik who operates in the shadows. Together the pair form an uneasy partnership. Their goal is to transform a struggling post-war Korea into a prosperous country where everyone can afford three meals a day.

Light Shop

An adaptation of the hit webtoon of the same name, Light Shop follows a group of strangers, each struggling to come to terms with a traumatic event in their past. Going about their daily lives, each individual is mysteriously drawn to a light shop that sits at the end of a seedy alleyway. Guarded by a vigilant shopkeeper, the light shop could hold the key to the strangers’ pasts, presents and futures.


With even more local titles set to be announced in the weeks and months to come, be sure to stay tuned to Disney+ for more captivating Korean content.
