TVING Unveils Lunar New Year Holiday Streaming Lineup for Binge-Watching

TVING has unveiled a Lunar New Year holiday lineup aimed at viewers looking to binge-watch throughout the break. The slate ranges from easy-to-watch variety shows to buzzed-about series some viewers may have missed, plus TVING-exclusive originals. 

Among the scripted titles is "Judge Lee Han-young," starring Ji Sung, Park Hee-soon and Won Jin-a. The series follows a corrupt judge, once a pawn of a major law firm, who returns to 10 years earlier and seeks to punish powerful wrongdoers. The show mixes revenge-driven justice with tension among the three leads, keeping viewers guessing how far the reckoning will go and who will survive to the end.

The undercover reality-variety show "Manito Club" centers on secretly delivering gifts to people who need encouragement. Its first lineup features Choo Sung-hoon, Noh Hong-chul, Lee Soo-ji, Dex and Jennie. Later rounds add Jung Hae-in and Go Youn-jung, along with Cha Tae-hyun and Park Bo-young, reuniting on a variety show for the first time since the film "Scandal Makers."

"Extreme 84" follows Kian84 in what TVING describes as an ultra-demanding running variety show. Built around marathon running, it pushes beyond 42.195 kilometers and aims to capture the raw emotions people feel when they hit their limits.

Retro-themed "Undercover Miss Hong" is set in Yeouido just before the IMF crisis and follows an elite worker who goes undercover to steal a chaebol family’s secret ledger, blending nostalgia with suspense. Romance series "Spring Fever" pairs Ahn Bo-hyun — playing a tough-looking man with a devoted streak — with Lee Joo-bin as a coolheaded teacher, highlighting their contrasting chemistry. TVING said Ahn’s first dialect performance and visual transformation will drive the show’s fast-paced banter.

For viewers seeking lighter fare, "Bogum Magical" follows Park Bo-gum, Lee Sang-yi and Kwak Dong-yeon as they provide hair and nail care and a meal to residents visiting a barbershop, leaning on small-town warmth and the trio’s on-screen rapport. Park’s skills are highlighted after he earned a barber’s license during his military service.

Also included are "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator since 2014," which returned after 11 years and has been trending in real time on social media and online communities, and "Manager Kim Works at a Conglomerate and Owns a Home in Seoul," about the struggles of the Kim Nak-su family after a major-company department head gives up his status and starts over. TVING said the lineup is designed to keep viewers busy throughout the holiday.

TVING also promoted a set of exclusives, including the original "Baseball Oddball Lim Chan-kyu," which follows pitcher Lim Chan-kyu with close-up access to his candid talk and off-field daily life, positioning it as a new kind of "baseball entertainment."

For binge-watchers, TVING pointed to all seasons of the dating-reality franchise "EXchange" and "Show Me the Money: Yacha’s World," focused on Korean hip-hop. It also highlighted "Reply 1988 10th Anniversary Special," bringing back the Ssangmun-dong family for a reunion marking the show’s 10th anniversary.

More plot-driven options include Hwang Min-hyun’s action series "Study Group" and the mystery thriller "Dear X," featuring what TVING called a bold acting transformation by Kim Yoo-jung.

TVING also spotlighted international programming for viewers staying home. In its Apple TV brand section, it is offering a promotion that lets users watch the first episode for free of major titles including "Pachinko," "Severance," "Hijack," "Dr. Brain" and "K-Popd."

Other picks include the Japanese adaptation of "Marry My Husband," as well as Chinese romance titles "Yi Xiao Sui Ge" and "Jiao Yang Si A." TVING also pointed to full-season viewing of "Severance," built on a premise that separates memories of work and daily life, and the U.K.-made aviation action thriller "Hijack," framing the package as a way to sample series from around the world on one platform.
