Debuting later this month is Viki’s exclusive Filing for Love, starring Shin Hae-sun and Gong Myoung, about a demoted auditor who investigates his manager over an anonymous tip, only to develop a complicated romance.

And of course, with BTS’s comeback driving Netflix’s viewing numbers between the LIVE comeback ARIRANG concert and BTS: The Return, the streamer is also highlighting its BTS titles, which include docuseries and concert films alike, which you can find a full list of here.

But instead, Yu Lei is caught off-guard by Chen Ke, leaving him without his usual bravado.

Unexpectedly, Man Ying gets sent back in time to 1995 – and she decides to take this opportunity to change her mother’s tragic fate with her knowledge of the future.

Instead, Yi-hyeok’s attempts to introduce himself are met with deafening music and unanswered knocks that eventually lead to an unintentional fistfight. Mid Eum, nursing a grudge and a bruised ego, rejects Yi-hyeok’s attempts at reconciliation, and Yi-hyeok declares Mid Eum his sworn enemy.
