Feb was all Jisoo-fied, but IU takes over March. Upcoming K-dramas in March 2025 pack some unbelievable shows with IU leading the one called When Life Gives You Tangerines.
IU’s first K-drama I came across was Hotel Del Luna. Since that moment, I have sat down and spree-watched everything that she had. Whether it’s My Mister, Moon Lovers, or the Korean movie Dream!
Given her pick in scripts, it’s easy to claim that IU’s next K-drama is going to be a banger as well.
But are there any other titles that will give it this one the fierce competition?
Let’s find that out!
The Potato Lab
Cast: Kang Tae-oh, Lee Sun-bin
Where to Watch: Netflix
Release Date: March 1st
Kim Mi-gyeong has been working tirelessly for the last 12 years to develop her own strain of potatoes. But turns out, the life has planned more for her. Things change, distractions happen, chaos occurs when So Baek-ho, the dapper with the famous smile, enters her life. Sounds like a cool, fun thing to come!
Riding Life
Cast: Jeon Hye-jin, Jo Min-soo
Where to Watch: ENA
Release Date: March 3rd
First up, Riding Life (or Mother and Mom) hits ENA March 3rd, and it’s got Jeon Hye-jin as a working mom begging her estranged mom (Jo Min-soo) for help with her kid. Jung Jin-young’s in the mix too—family drama with heart?
I guess I’m already tearing up. You in for this?
I Am a Running Mate
Cast: Yoon Hyun-soo, Lee Jung-sic, Choi Woo-sung
Where to Watch: TVing
Release Date: March 6th
First few episodes have already crashed the Busan International Film Festival in 2023 and were appreciated. That’s what makes this school politics exciting! Se-hoon is demanded by multiple groups for the coming student council election. But who will he go for is a twisted story filled with comedy and suspense.
Written by Han Jin-won (Parasite), this one’s got what it takes to keep you giggled on your toes. So, you ready for some high-school chaos?
When Life Gives You Tangerines
Cast: IU, Park Bo-gum, Moon So-ri, Park Hae-joon
Where to Watch: Netflix
Release Date: March 7th
IU’s return is happening!
When Life Gives You Tangerines drops on Netflix March 7th, and it’s giving slow-burn feels. IU’s a feisty poet, Park Bo-gum’s her lovestruck sidekick—chemistry’s gonna be 🔥.
Are You into heart-tugging love stories? Put other K-dramas on hold, this is your March 2025’s must-watch.
Yeah! I am biased towards anything IU does! 🙂
The Art of Negotiation
Cast: Lee Je-hoon, Kim Dae-myung, Sung Dong-il
Where to Watch: JTBC
Release Date: March 8th
Lee Je-hoon decided to join the screen in March 2025 with a new look. Yeah, he has silver hear in this one! I am shocked af too, but honestly, he doesn’t look bad in it, we are just not used to this look I guess.
The show is releasing among JTBC’s March 2025 catalog of k-dramas. In the show, he’s a badass M&A expert with Kim Dae-myung and Sung Dong-il backing him up. Corporate games and slick moves—you know I’m watching this one live and you should too!
Villains Everywhere
Cast: Oh Na-ra, So Yoo-jin
Where to Watch: KBS2
Release Date: March 19th
Villains Everywhere lands on KBS2 March 19th, and Oh Na-ra plus So Yoo-jin as quirky sisters? Yes, please! It’s a family comedy about their wild lives—add Park Yeong-gyu, and I’m laughing already. You hyped?
Hyper Knife
Cast: Sul Kyung-gu, Park Eun-bin
Where to Watch: Disney+
Release Date: March 19th
Hyper Knife is dropping on Disney+ in March 2025, and Park Eun-bin is back to steal all the hearts out there, and probably stab them!
After Extraordinary Attorney Woo, I’d watch her in anything, and this time she’s Jung Se-ok, a badass surgeon with scalpel skills that could cut through steel.
The plot’s wild—she clashes with her mentor, Choi Deok-hee (Sul Kyung-gu), gets her license yanked, and starts doing sketchy back-alley surgeries.
Drama? Check. Tension? Double check.
If you’re into medical K-dramas with a thriller twist, Hyper Knife is one of the best new K-dramas in March 2025 to add to your list.
Divorce Insurance
Cast: Lee Dong-wook, Lee Joo-bin, Lee Kwang-soo, Lee Da-hee
Where to Watch: tvN
Release Date: March 31st
Lee Dong-wook is directed by Lee Won-suk in this one! (See what I did there?)
If you’re looking for a fun comedy with the second lead syndrome, watch Divorce Insurance- it looks fun!
Lee Dong-wook’s character is a thrice-divorced insurance guy with Lee Joo-bin, Lee Kwang-soo, and Lee Da-hee stirring the pot.
Office rom-com with a divorce twist—I’m calling it a banger. You with me?
What K-Dramas Releasing in March 2025 are Worth Your Time?
I will answer the question in very simple words:
ALL OF THEM!
Why? Each Korean drama has its charm, own cast, and own way of entertaining you. The best part of this month’s catalog is that it’s packed with diverse tastes. There’s comedy, tragedy, action, and even politics.
So, enjoy the IU’s emotional range, Kang Tae-oh’s charm, and Park Ji-hoon’s grit.
The writers and directors—like Yeon Sang-ho and Lim Sang-chun—bring serious authority to the table.
