Time slot: Wednesdays
Broadcaster: Wavve
Genre: Slice-of-life, travel
Episode count: 8

Reasons to watch: The promos, form, and vibe of this little drama remind me a lot of an old favorite Cheers To Me, so I’m looking forward to following our heroine on her day trips. Lee Na-young plays a burned out teacher that starts going on little trips around the country to recharge and refuel herself. Because of the drama’s omnibus form, it’s obviously ripe for great guest appearances — so on each trip our heroine will interact with everyone from Seo Hyun-woo and Gil Hae-yeon to Gu Kyo-hwan and Han Ye-ri.

In a summer drama cycle that’s brimming with “louder” dramas — anticipated adaptations, high-buzz horror, and big budget rom-coms — this little drama might be the perfect balance.

TL;DR: Short-form slice-of-life drama chock full of cameos and thoughts on life
