The K-drama lineup for 27 July to 2 August 2026 is stacked, with two big premieres and fresh episodes of the shows everyone is already hooked on.

Topping the list is A Bona Fide Killer, starring Gong Hyo-jin as Yoo Bo-na, a seemingly average working mother who is secretly “Kingfisher,” a legendary sniper. Directed by Yoon Jong-ho, the thriller-comedy follows her struggle to keep her family life intact while her secret identity starts catching up with her.

Also premiering is The Affair Was Just the Beginning, a black comedy led by Kim Hye-soo. Two couples get pulled into a scandal that starts small and quickly turns into total chaos. Lee Chang-hee directs, with Dear X actor Kim Ji-hoon rounding out the cast.

On the romance front, Dream to You continues with Hwang In-youp and Lee Hye-ri as Woo Su-bin and Joo Yi-jae, two people reconnecting years later and figuring out whether old feelings still hold up against new dreams.

A Shop for Killers season 2 keeps the action coming, with Lee Dong-wook’s Jin-man deep in his fight against Babylon. Murthehelp is under constant threat, and every decision he makes gets riskier.

Namkoong Min’s thriller The Husband ramps up too, as Kang Tae-ju gets closer to the truth behind his wife’s kidnapping. Each new clue pushes him toward harder, more dangerous choices to bring her home safely.

For fans of supernatural stories, Spooky in Love returns with Park Eun-bin and Yang Se-jong solving ghostly mysteries together, all while their bond quietly deepens beneath the case-of-the-week format.

And in The Apartment Job, Ji Sung’s offbeat run for residents’ council president hits another snag, as corruption buried within the complex becomes harder for him to look past.

From assassins hiding in plain sight to slow-burn romances and ghost hunts, this week’s K-drama slate has something for every kind of viewer.
