From new dramas and unpredictable twists to a high-stakes finale and beloved musical classics, CJ ENM welcomes fall with a diverse September lineup
As summer fades and cool autumn breezes arrive, CJ ENM is bringing a fresh lineup of content to welcome the start of fall with new stories, laughter and excitement.
First up, the TVING original “The Ordinary Jackpot” will be available exclusively on TVING starting September 10. Based on a web novel of the same name, the series stars Lee Jun-hyuk as Gong Eun-tae, an ordinary office worker who wins the lottery’s top prize but decides to continue going to work as usual.
Returning with sharper deduction and more unpredictable twists, “Sixth Sense: B-side” premieres on tvN on September 13. The series follows its cast as they set out to uncover carefully hidden “B-sides” that blur the line between reality and deception.
The fourth and final installment of the 20-year “Tazza” film series, “Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub,” hits theaters on September 23. The crime film follows two friends who share the same name but have taken very different paths in life. When they reunite over a high-stakes gambling game, they find themselves headed for a tense showdown.
The musical “Gwanghwamun Love Song” also returns for its fifth season. Featuring beloved songs by the late composer Lee Yeong-hoon, the musical takes audiences on a journey through memories of love, regret and life’s most precious moments. It runs from September 6 to November 15 at the D-Cube Link Arts Center in Seoul.
A K-Office Worker’s Life Takes a Turn: ‘The Ordinary Jackpot’
The TVING original drama “The Ordinary Jackpot” premieres exclusively on TVING on September 10 before making its tvN debut on September 14. Based on a web novel of the same name, the series follows Gong Eun-tae (Lee Jun-hyuk), an ordinary office worker whose life changes after winning the lottery’s top prize. Yet instead of quitting his job, Eun-tae chooses to continue working, now with a new perspective on life.
The teaser opens with Eun-tae’s ordinary workday. He squeezes onto a packed subway, arrives at work earlier than everyone else and spends the day caught between pressure from his superiors and demands from his team, despite holding the title of team leader. Then, one day, an unexpected stroke of luck arrives: he wins the lottery’s top prize.
But 1.3 billion KRW (0.94 million USD) is not quite enough to completely change his life. Eun-tae ultimately decides to stay at his job instead of quitting. Yet after winning the lottery, his office life can never be quite the same. With his newfound fortune and a lighter step, Eun-tae heads to work. How will winning the lottery change the way he approaches his job?
Spotting the Fake Gets Even Trickier in ‘Sixth Sense: B-side’
What looks almost too real to be fake — and what seems even more real than reality itself? “Sixth Sense: B-side” premieres on tvN on September 13, as the cast sets out to uncover the carefully hidden B-side lurking somewhere between reality and deception.
This season brings together “professional skeptic” Yoo Jae-suk, variety veteran Song Eun-yi, “promising newcomer” Ko Kyung-pyo and new cast member BIBI, whose quirky energy adds a fresh dynamic to the group. With four distinct personalities in the mix, anticipation is building around their chemistry.
With a bigger scale, more cleverly disguised fakes and twists no one can see coming, can the Sixth Sense crew uncover the hidden B-side and separate the real from the fake? Armed with sharper deduction and plenty of laughs, “Sixth Sense: B-side” is set to bring a new round of surprises to viewers this fall.
The Final Chapter of ‘Tazza’: ‘Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub’
After 20 years, the “Tazza” film series comes to a close with its fourth and final installment, “Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub.”
The crime film follows Jang Tae-yeong (Byun Yo-han), who believes he has gained everything through his successful online casino business, and his best friend Park Tae-yeong (Roh Jae-won), who turns his world upside down by taking everything from him. The two reunite in a high-stakes global gambling game, setting the stage for a revenge-driven showdown. Byun Yo-han and Roh Jae-won bring to life the tense clash between two longtime friends whose lives have taken dramatically different turns.
Unlike the previous three films, “Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub” tells a standalone story set in a new universe. As the final chapter of a series that has spanned 20 years, the film is set to bring heightened tension to theaters on September 23.
A Nostalgic Journey Through Memories and Beloved Songs: ‘Gwanghwamun Love Song’
The musical “Gwanghwamun Love Song,” which has been warmly received since its 2017 premiere, returns for its fifth season.
One minute before his death, Myung-woo awakens in a “Hall of Memories,” where Wol-ha, the keeper of human connections, guides him on a journey through memories of his 20-year-old self. Along the way, he revisits the love, regrets and precious moments that have shaped his life. Set to beloved songs by the late composer Lee Yeong-hoon, including “A Little Girl,” “Sunset Glow” and “Old Love,” Myung-woo’s journey through the past delivers a deeply moving reflection on love and life.
This season brings together musical theater stars including Son Jun-ho, Lee Seok-hoon, Enoch, Cha Ji-yeon and Seo Eun-kwang. With beloved songs and standout performances, “Gwanghwamun Love Song” runs from September 6 to November 15 at the D-Cube Link Arts Center in Seoul.
