April has officially begun, and Netflix is now gearing up to release some of its biggest K-content this month. Aside from the international titles fans have been waiting for, like Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver and Ripley, the streamer also has a big treat for K-drama fans. From the horror series Parasyte: The Grey to a new sci-fi offering, Goodbye Earth, here are the new Korean shows fans are about to see on Netflix in April 2024.
1 Military Prosecutor Doberman
After being released on tvN in February 2022, fans can finally see Do Bae-man (Ahn Bo-hyun) and Cha Woo-in’s (Jo Bo-ah) unlikely story in Military Prosecutor Doberman on Netflix. Despite their conflicting objectives to become a military prosecutor, with Bae-man seeing it as a way to be successful and Woo-in wanting to seek revenge, the two end up working together to find the evils in the military.
Aside from Bo-ah and Bo-hyun, the series also features Kim Young-min, Kim Woo-suk, and Oh Yeon-soo. It’s directed by Jin Chang-gyu and written by Yoon Hyun-mo. The 16-episode series is now streaming on Netflix.
2 Physical: 100 Season 2 – Underground Finale
The fight to determine who has the ideal physique is not yet over. Physical: 100 Season 2 – Underground continues, and fans are about to see who will finally become the victor. The previous episode saw the close competition between Kim Dong-hyun and Lee Jae-yoon’s teams. Just when everyone thought that Jae-yoon’s group was about to win, Jo Sung-bin fell from the monkey bar just when he was about to reach the finish line, giving Dong-hyun’s team a chance.
However, with the series' recent surprising turn of events, everything is now possible, and it’s hard to predict what will happen next. That said, fans will finally see the reality series' last two episodes, Episodes 8 and 9, as they’re set to release on Tuesday, April 2.
3 Parasyte: The Grey
The live-action adaptation of Hitoshi Iwaaki’s manga, Parasyte, will be finally seen on Netflix this month. Parasyte: The Grey will see mysterious extraterrestrial larvae fall on Earth to take over humankind and conquer the world. The Grey group will do its best to fight off these weird creatures to stop their evil plans. However, amid the threat of these parasitic life forms and the war against them, one woman manages to co-exist with their kind and has to survive.
The series is led by Jeon So-nee, Koo Kyo-hwan, and Lee Jung-hyun and helmed by the Train to Busan and Hellbound director Yeon Sang-ho. As Iwaaki puts it, it will take fans into a world beyond imagination when it’s finally set to release on Friday, April 5.
4 Goodbye Earth
From one live-action adaptation to another, prepare to see the end of the world in the K-drama sci-fi series Goodbye Earth after getting scared by the creatures of Parasyte: The Grey. Based on the novel The Fool at the End of the World by Kotaro Isaka, it will see how the world falls into confusion after news about an asteroid hitting the Earth in 2000 days and destroying it comes out.
Directed by Kim Jin-min, it will be the returning project of screenwriter Jung Sung-joo after working on Heard It Through the Grapevine in 2015. It will see Ahn Eun-jin, Jeon Sung-woo, and Kim Yoon-hye in the lead as a volunteer worker, an assistant priest, and a combat commander, respectively. The 12-episode series is scheduled to release on Friday, April 26.
