Once Family finally airs, Jang Nara’s (Sell Your Haunted House) next reunion will be with Sohn Ho-joon (The First Responders) in the new TV Chosun series Happy End. In a contrast to their first pairing in Go Back Spouses, this time the two will be playing an ambitious couple who struggle to break free from the vicious cycle of chasing success.

A cool, illustrated poster has dropped for tvN’s Stealer: The Treasure Keeper, featuring our title’s thieving hero Joo-won (Alice). As the elusive Skunk, he’ll be taking us on the search for the seven treasured Joseon coins, along with Lee Joo-woo (Why Her) and Jo Han-chul (Big Bet) among other cast. The action-caper begins next week on April 12. [JTBC]

Lee Moo-saeng (The Glory) is joining the growing cast for Maestra, playing opposite Lee Young-ae (Inspector Koo) as our story’s male lead.

JR) (Let Me Be Your Knight), n.SSign’s Lee Han-jun, and Baek Seo-hoo (Cafe Minamdang). Directed by PD Kang Hee-joo (Poong the Joseon Psychiatrist 2) with writing by Kim Eun-ye, the series is aiming to be an ASMR-style ~healing~ drama. [Newsen]
