1. Spirit Fingers (Viki – Episodes 1–4 on October 29)

This week kicks off with Spirit Fingers, a bright and refreshing coming-of-age drama that brings colour, quite literally, into the life of an ordinary teenager. Starring Park Ji Hu, Jo Joon Young, and Bomin, the story revolves around a quiet high school girl struggling with low self-esteem and self-expression. Her world begins to change when she joins a quirky sketch club called Spirit Fingers.

Led by the charismatic and self-loving college student known as Red Finger, the club becomes a space for creativity, connection, and transformation. With themes of confidence, identity, and art, Spirit Fingers offers a heartfelt reminder of how finding your tribe can also mean finding yourself.






2. Moon River (MBC TV – October 31, 2025)

For those who love historical dramas with a fantasy twist, Moon River is the big one to watch out for. The series stars Kang Tae-oh as a crown prince driven by revenge after losing his beloved queen. Fate takes an unexpected turn when he swaps bodies with a commoner who looks exactly like her, played by Kim Se-jeong.
