Two of the leads from The Guest are back on our screens, this time in slightly less horrifying and bloody roles.

Genre: Social satire, suspense
Episode count: 32 episodes (35 minute episodes)
Reasons to watch: Kim Dong-wook plays the titular Special Labor Inspector Jo, a national judo player-turned gym teacher-turned civil servant. In his youth and early in his career, his strong moral core and quick temper got him into trouble, and he began to keep his head down rather than fight against the world. But a job reassignment to the position of special labor inspector sees him encounter corruption and injustices on a near-daily basis–and reignites his fiery temper.
