Just like that, February is about to end, and Netflix has just released its new content for March. But aside from some of the big international titles, like Damsel and Supersex, there will also be several new K-content coming to the streamer, and they come with a variety. So, from an emotional movie like My Name is Loh Kiwan to a hilarious comedy Chicken Nugget, here are the four new Korean content fans are about to see starting on March 1.
1 My Name is Loh Kiwan
After the success of the 2021 movie Space Sweepers, Song Joong-ki is back on Netflix. However, fans are about to see a different Hallyu star this time, as he will play a North Korean defector in My Name is Loh Kiwan. The 38-year-old actor will try his luck to seek refugee status to fulfill his mother’s dying wish for him to have his own identity and live his own life, albeit in a foreign country. But things will never be easy for him.

2 Queen of Tears
Kim Soo-hyun and Kim Ji-won will work together in a new K-drama Queen of Tears. Following the story of the married couple Hong Hae-in and Baek Hyun-woo, the two are about to face different challenges in their marriage due to their different status, work, and lifestyle. But despite everything they will go through, they will prove that love matters the most in this romantic comedy as their feelings for each other will be renewed.
Written by Park Ji-eun (Crash Landing on You) and co-directed by Jang Young-woo (Bulgasal: Immortal Souls) and Kim Hee-won (Vincenzo, Little Women), the series will feature an ensemble cast, like Park Sung-hoon, Kwang Dong-yeon, and Lee Joo-bin.

3 Chicken Nugget
After making fans fall in love with her role as Do Do-hee opposite Song Kang in My Demon, Kim Yoo-jung will once again stun viewers with her incredible beauty in Chicken Nugget.
