November TV Drama Lineup Heats Up: Lee Jung-jae Returns to Romance After 15 Years, Lee Je-hoon Back with 'Taxi Driver 3,' Jang Ki-yong & Ahn Eun-jin Kick Off with a Kiss

The small screen is set to be ignited this November with the return of highly anticipated 'must-see actors.' Across various genres, these stars are poised to lead compelling narratives.

Lee Jung-jae makes his comeback to the romance genre after 15 years in the new tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Yalmuseun Sarang' (tentative title). He will portray Im Hyun-jun, a top actor who has lost his way, exploring a realistic romance within the entertainment industry.

His co-star, Lim Ji-yeon, plays an upright entertainment reporter, setting the stage for an escalating 'fact war' between the top star and the journalist. The collaboration between director Kim Ga-ram ('Good Partner') and writer Jung Yeo-rang ('Doctor Cha') promises a romantic comedy that balances humor and reality. The stellar cast, including Choi Gwi-hwa, Jeon Sung-woo, Kim Jae-cheol, Na Young-hee, Jeon Soo-kyung, and Oh Yeon-seo, further enhances the drama's density with their realistic portrayals and humor amidst tangled relationships.

Meanwhile, Lee Je-hoon is reigniting his vengeance engine in SBS's 'Modem Taxi 3.' Returning with an expanded universe from previous seasons, Kim Do-gi (Lee Je-hoon) solidifies his role as a symbol of private justice, avenging victims. This season broadens its scope to include international crime cooperation.

Missions on a global scale, such as collaborating with Interpol and dismantling overseas human trafficking rings, add weight to the narrative, reflecting real-world criminal activities. The 'Rainbow 5' team's synergy will evolve into a global cooperative system, expanding both the scale of action and emotional depth.

Continuing the romantic comedy trend, SBS's new Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Kiseuneun Gwaeni Haeseo!' (tentative title) is drawing attention for its bold premise that subverts typical romantic comedy tropes. Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin meet as a team leader and a single woman on a fake assignment, with their relationship kicking off with a kiss from the very first episode.

Jang Ki-yong will play Gong Ji-hyuk, a cold and rational character, portraying the transformation of a man who didn't believe in love. Ahn Eun-jin takes on the role of Go Da-rim, weary from a tough reality but honest in love, expected to reveal her true feelings.

Fans are expressing excitement, with comments like "So excited for Lee Jung-jae's romance comeback!", "Can't wait for Taxi Driver 3! Lee Je-hoon's action is the best", and "The Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin pairing is so fresh, starting with a kiss is interesting!", showing high anticipation for the November drama lineup.
