Wavve has revealed its main content lineup for the first half of 2025.

Last year, Wavve presented original works armed with freshness, such as ‘Blood Game Season 3’, ‘Brother and Sister in Love’, ‘Thought Verification Zone: The Community’, and the new classic project ‘My Name is Kim Sam-soon’, ‘I‘m Sorry, I Love You’. This year as well, we plan to release content in various categories such as dramas, entertainment, current affairs, and foreign series.


● From mystery and crime thriller genres to youth romantic comedy dramas, ‘Danju’, ‘Reverse’, ‘The History of Jijil’

Wave will release the crime thriller ‘Danju’ and the mystery melo revenge drama ‘Reverse’ as original dramas. The youth romantic comedy ‘The History of Jijil’ will also be released on the 26th, and we plan to present various genres of dramas in the first half of the year.

‘Danju’ (written by Kim Dan-bi, directed by Choi Hyung-joon), which will be released first in May, is a revenge drama and crime thriller about an unknown actor who loses his parents to a phishing scam, who uses deepfake technology to infiltrate a huge voice phishing organization and take them down. The drama’s realism was enhanced by including various cases such as voice phishing, card loan fraud, and messenger phishing, which have emerged as social issues. The main actors include Lee Joo-young, who appeared in the Wave original drama ‘The Transaction’, the drama ‘Itaewon Class’, and the movies ‘Broker’, ‘Megi’, icon Koo Jun-hoe, who has recently built up a diverse filmography with ‘Sparkling Watermelon’, ‘Look! Deborah’, and Ji Seung-hyun, who made a name for himself in ‘Good Partner’, ‘Goryeo-Khitan War’.

The mystery melo revenge drama ‘Reverse’ will be released as an original drama in August. ‘Reverse’ (script, director Lim Geon-joong) is a mystery thriller about the main character Myo-jin, who loses her memory in a suspicious accident, and her fiancé and promising architect Jun-ho, who takes care of her devotedly, as they face a shocking truth. The cast boasts a splendid lineup with actors Seo Ji-hye, Ko Soo, Kim Jae-kyung, Lim Won-hee, Yoon Je-moon, Shim Hyung-tak, and Koo Sung-hwan confirmed for the film. ‘Reverse’ was produced as an audio movie in 22 years and received favorable reviews for its solid story. Following the audio movie, director Im Geon-joong will personally write the script and direct ‘Reverse’, raising expectations for the drama version.



A cheerful and light-hearted comedy drama about youth in their 20s will also be released on the 26th. Based on a webtoon of the same name, ‘The History of Jijil’ (written by Kim Poong, directed by Kim Sung Hoon) is a youth growth comedy drama that depicts four twenty-year-old boys growing up through love and breakups. Writer Kim Poong, who wrote the webtoon, also participated in writing this drama, which garnered attention even before its release. ‘The History of Jijil’ is a romantic comedy drama that deals with love and romance that anyone would be jealous of, but it also portrays the inherent pettiness of humans contained within it, evoking laughter and empathy. Actors Jo Byung Gyu, Ryeo Woon, Jung Jae Kwang, Jung Yong Joo, and Bang Min Ah appear in the drama, creating characters with a different charm from the webtoon. However, there was no particular mention of Song Ha Yoon, who has temporarily suspended her activities due to a school violence controversy.
