Despite the terrible sound quality, these new Korean dramas are of high quality.

The three works below, which were released at the same time as hit series like "Our Blues" and "Tomorrow," did not pique the curiosity of many audiences, yet they are series of consistent quality, worthy of enjoyment.

My Liberation Notes

"My Liberation Notes" depicts the incredibly boring and tedious life of three siblings who live in the suburbs and commute to Seoul every day for a living.

The series has such a soft, sorrowful cadence that it may make you asleep if you are looking for action and drama. However, if you are an introvert who enjoys films with complex characters, "My Liberation Notes" is a must-see.

The series is largely regarded as the work that signals the return of Kim Ji Won, despite its lack of popularity on social media. The storytelling is nearly perfect, from the color of the film to the scenery to the phrases.

Again My Life

"Again My Life" is a series that combines fantasy, action, and detective elements. Kim Hee Woo (Lee Joon Gi) is a talented and astute prosecutor in the film.

During the investigation of the corrupt politician, Kim Hee Woo was assassinated by an unknown individual, reincarnated, and went on a path of vengeance.

Despite the appearance of Lee Joon Gi, "Again My Life" did not receive the attention it deserved from the public, but it is still an amazing work worthy of the audience's delight.

It's Beautiful Now

"It's Beautiful Now" is a weekend drama on KBS2 that has extraordinarily high ratings, although it is not well-known on social media, in the media, or in other markets. It's not a big deal; the film is just about a three-generation family with opposing views on marriage.

The Lee family's three grandsons do not want to marry, and the grandfather has set a goal that whoever marries within six months would be rewarded with an apartment.

With its humorous and intimate nature, the picture deserves to be anticipated and seen with the entire family on the weekend.

IU has once again warmed hearts with her sweet and caring nature — this time by personally helping young actress Kim Tae Yeon get ready for her very first awards show.

The two actresses both played the same character, Ae Soon, in different stages of life in the Netflix drama "When Life Gives You Tangerines". IU played the adult version while Kim Tae Yeon touched viewers with her emotional performance as young Ae Soon.

Even though Kim Tae Yeon doesn’t have an agency yet, IU made sure the young star wouldn’t be alone. According to insiders, IU personally visited a dress shop with Kim Tae Yeon to help her pick out a beautiful outfit. She even helped with hair and makeup plans, making sure Tae Yeon could shine at the upcoming 61st Baeksang Arts Awards, where both actresses are nominated.

Kim Tae Yeon’s mom posted about the moment on Instagram, saying:

“Tae Yeon met IU unnie and told me to say thank you. Words aren’t enough to express how grateful we are. We were so surprised by her unexpected visit, and her thoughtful care truly touched our hearts. Thank you again to IU for the gift.”

The post also showed a happy Kim Tae Yeon holding IU’s present and choosing a dress — a moment that melted fans’ hearts.

IU is well-known in the industry for her generosity and kindness. While filming "You Have Done Well", she reportedly gave thoughtful gifts and created a warm, friendly vibe on set for everyone, from co-stars to staff.

The drama itself became a big hit, earning praise both in Korea and overseas. IU, Park Bo Gum, Yeom Hye Ran, Choi Dae Hoon, and Kim Tae Yeon all received Baeksang nominations — a huge achievement, especially for the young star.

Kim Tae Yeon, born in 2011, has been acting since she was little and appeared in dramas like Crash Landing on You, A Dog’s Love Today, and Gyeongseong Creature. But her powerful acting in "When Life Gives You Tangerines" truly made people cry, smile, and remember her name.

IU didn’t stop at helping Kim Tae Yeon. She also invited fellow cast members Moon So Ri, Park Hae Joon, Ahn Tae Rin, and more to her concert, sending them gifts to show her love and support.

In an earlier interview, IU talked about giving gifts to so many people. She humbly said,

“As I do more projects, there are more people I’m thankful for, but it’s not as hard as people think. I just hope the people receiving the gifts feel happy.”

Talking about the drama, she added,

“It was such a grand project. Just being part of it was a blessing. It made me think, ‘Ji Eun, you really experienced something amazing.’ I’m grateful I could work with such great people.”

Once again, IU has proved she’s not just a talented singer and actress — she’s also a true “Good Deed Queen.”
