During the Chuseok holiday, Netflix has prepared a rich lineup of new releases across genres. From historical romance to variety shows, crime dramas based on true stories, animation, and survival series, there are works for every taste to fill living rooms during the long break.

The first work to catch attention is the Netflix series 'Scandal', starring Son Ye-jin, Ji Chang-wook, and Nana.

'Scandal' depicts a dangerous love bet between Lady Jo, a talented woman confined to life as a Joseon-era noblewoman, and Jo Won, Korea's greatest romantic figure, along with the story of Hye-yeon entangled in that wager.

Lady Jo proposes a secret bet to Jo Won, who has become a renowned lover even beyond Hanyang: if he can break the chastity of Hye-yeon, a widow, she will grant him any wish. Son Ye-jin, Ji Chang-wook, and Nana portray the complex relationships among these three characters, weaving together desire, love, and taboo, delivering a unique acting ensemble.

For those seeking light-hearted entertainment to enjoy with laughter, 'Dae-hwanjang Ki-an-jang Season 2' is available.

'Dae-hwanjang Ki-an-jang Season 2' is a homestay variety show where Ki Han-84, Kim Yeon-koung, Lee Jun-ho, and Kazuha live together with guests at the Ki-an-jang lodge nestled deep in the mountains of Daegwallyeong.

Following the first location built over the sea of Ulleungdo, this season introduces a second site in the dead of winter at Daegwallyeong, themed as 'the world's largest house'. The chemistry between Ki Han-84, known as the 'career owner', and newly joined members Kim Yeon-koung, Lee Jun-ho, and Kazuha, along with interactions with guests carrying diverse stories, is expected to deliver both laughter and healing.

Substantial true-crime dramas are also prepared. 'Unabomber: The Secret Experiment' is a film chronicling the journey of genius Ted Kaczynski, who entered Harvard at a young age, until he became the bomber known as 'Unabomber', alongside the story of those pursuing him.

Ted, admitted to Harvard at 16, participated in a dangerous psychological experiment conducted by psychologist Henry Murray and gradually became isolated from society. Decades later, as the FBI begins its investigation into Unabomber, who had plunged the entire United States into fear, past and present converge. Russell Crowe portrays Henry Murray, while Jacob Tremblay plays young Ted.

Fans of 'Stranger Things' should also pay attention to the animated series 'Stranger Things: Season 2 in 1985'.

After the events of Season 1, Hawkins seemed to have returned to normal, but unexplained phenomena reappear. Eleven, Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, Max, and Nicky once again track down the truth behind a supernatural incident. The series expands its world by introducing not only familiar locations but also new spaces such as an abandoned silver mine.

Sweet yet intense survival stories are also arriving. 'Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket' is a survival series that brings the world of the film 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' to life.

Twelve contestants who received golden tickets enter Willy Wonka's chocolate factory with their chosen partners. They face various missions testing physical and mental abilities, moral judgment, and teamwork. Even the familiar 'Oompa-Loompas' appear, reimagining the original world in a new way.

In addition, three more works that have gathered high expectations with diverse entertainment and fresh formats are now available on Netflix, making the Chuseok holiday even richer.

The crime investigation film 'End of Investigation' follows a detective transferred to a remote village and a rookie detective who was formerly an influencer as they head to Seoul to catch the true culprit behind the Gangnam murder case.

The variety show 'Nidonnaesan' features so-called 'avatar consumption', where participants mimic another person's spending habits for 24 hours to deduce the identity of the 'original'. The reality show 'Contract Marriage' follows men and women who wish to marry as they experience a virtual married life through a contract, capturing both excitement and realistic conflicts.

During this long Chuseok holiday, Netflix awaits viewers with new releases and hit titles across all genres, ready for binge-watching.
