“Song of the Bandits” is an action-adventure set in 1920 where fierce bandits would do whatever they could to fight for their precious homeland and loved ones – even if it means life or death, per Netflix.
Aside from Kim, the series will also star Girls’ Generation’s Seohyun, South Korean actors Yoo Jae-myung and Lee Hyun-wook and South Korean actress Lee Ho-jung.

“Destined With You,” starring K-Pop idol Rowoon of SF9 and “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” actress Jo Bo-ah, is a romantic fantasy drama revolving around a forbidden book sealed 300 years ago. It premiered on Netflix last Wednesday.
In the JTBC-produced series, Lee Hong-jo (Jo Bo-ah), a civil servant, obtains the book, while Jang Shin-yu (Rowoon), an ace lawyer, becomes a victim of the book.
