5. Chief of Staff
The fifth on the list is Chief of Staff, another political drama which also aired on JTBC. The drama stars senior actor Lee Jung-jae, Shin Min-ah, Lee Elijah, Kim Dong-jun, Jung Jin-young, Kim Kap-soo, Jung Woong-in, and Im Won-hee. JTBC broadcast for the first season from June 14 to July 13, 2019. In November 2019, the second season is planned for premiere.
Chief of Staff is a story about politicians and their aides trying to climb the political ladder. Jang Tae-joon (Lee Jung-jae) graduated and worked as a detective at the Korean National Police University. He wanted to gain more power and decided to work at the National Assembly. Now, he’s a four-time lawmaker’s chief assistant. He has excellent intuition, a determination that is cold-blooded, and a strong desire to win. He was allowed to put his legislator in the party representative’s position, but Jang Tae-joon’s aspirations are greater.
Meanwhile, Kang Sun-young (Shin Min-ah) is a lawmaker from the first year who has been elected by proportional representation and is a spokesman for her party. She worked as a lawyer and hosted a television program on current affairs before becoming a lawmaker.
With only 10 episodes, Chief of Staff is a superb, fast-paced political drama and an eye-opener about what goes on behind the scenes in the offices of lawmakers. If you’re furious with the ending, you can relax, the second season is coming in November!
There has been a lot of praise and good reviews for Chief of Staff, for example:
[Christina Dumitriu]: A very compelling drama! I strongly recommend it. It blows your mind with the fast intrigue, dialogue, and action behind the scene of a congress assembly
[Mary Glatts]: This series is always presenting the new dilemma of the day. Acting is great and the intrigue is worth watching
[Maita Ordonez]: Reminded me of Shonda Rhimes’ TV series, Scandal, and House of Cards! 🙌🏼 Great K Drama series!!
It’s safe to say that Chief of Staff is a Korean version of House of Cards mixed with Scandal just like one of the reviewers said. So many good political dramas have come from Korea lately, this one, for sure, you don’t want to miss, so go watch Chief of Staff on Netflix!

6. Vagabond
The sixth on the list is Vagabond, a package of spy, action, thriller, and, of course, romance. This series has one of Korea’s highest production costs, of over 25 billion Korean won. Part of the production was done overseas (in Portugal and Morocco), also the drama will have numerous action scenes.
Vagabond reunites Lee Seung-gi and Bae Suzy, who previously worked together in Gu Family Bok and had amazing chemistry together. Can’t wait to see what they’re going to offer in Vagabond, more intense scene and crazy chemistry, for sure! There is also Shin Sung-rok, who previously worked on Perfume and another hit drama, The Last Empress, in the same year, to make the story more interesting.
With a big budget and amazing cast, you’re going to wonder what the story is about. Vagabond tells a story about a stuntman and an NIS agent. The story starts when more than 200 civilians are killed by a mysterious plane crash, including the nephew of Cha Dal-gun (Lee Seung-gi). Cha Dal-gun, determined to find out the truth behind the accident, embarks on an investigation that will lead him to a tangled corruption web. His life goes hand in hand with Go Hae-ri (Bae Suzy), a covert National Intelligence Service operative.
The expectation is very high for this drama, but we believe that Lee Seung-gi and Bae Suzy to repeat the success of their previous drama, Gu Family Bok, which many fans loved. Vagabond is set to air on SBS and Netflix on September 20, 2019, don’t miss it!
