Updated: Mar 31, 2023

Revenge, lawyers and unsolved mysteries seem to be the theme for March. But it's not all heavy, with the fantasy series Delivery Man and comedic Divorce Attorney Shin keeping things light at the start of the month. Things will get darker though, especially with the much-awaited second season of The Glory premiering soon.

 

March 1: Delivery Man

Get ready for an unforgettable ride with Delivery Man, a new 12-episode fantasy series about a taxi driver who fulfills the final wishes of ghosts.


When taxi driver Seo Young-Min (Yoon Chan-young, All Of Us Are Dead) meets Kang Ji-hyun (Girl’s Day’s Bang Min-ah, Beautiful Gong Shim), a lost ghost with no memory of her past life, they team up to chase after a serial killer and grant the wishes of other restless spirits.
