Time slot: Wednesday-Thursday
Broadcaster: KBS
Genre: Sitcom
Episode count: 12
Global streamer: Viki
Reasons to watch: KBS fills the Wednesday-Thursday slot with a sitcom (!), which should be an interesting ratings experiment. Lee Soon-jae plays the nation’s grandpa actor who falls out of favor and escapes the public eye for a bit. In his new village home he discovers he can understand the neighborhood dog when she barks, and the two get pulled into investigations together. Kim Yong-geun, Yeh Soo-jung, Park Sung-woong, and other wonderful familiar faces are here — oh and Yeonwoo — but while it sounds cute as pie, it’s also a tough sell for the international K-drama audience, methinks.
TL;DR: Actor Lee Soon-jae plays actor Lee Soon-jae and he teams up with the village dog for some local sleuthing
