Ahh, thank you so much for this! I hadn't heard about any of them.

I'm going to try Law and the City (it has the FL from My Dearest Nemesis, which I just watched), and it looks enjoyable. Clearly trying to cash in on Hospital Playlist's popularity, lol. But oof, the first episode is 1:17! /o\

Low Life looks amazing! I might see if I can get my partner interested in it. And I'd like to check out The Nice Guy if I can. (Clearly Disney is trying to muscle into the Kdrama-watching market. ;-p)

And I'd like to try My Girlfriend is the Man! -- so curious to see what a Kdrama will do with that premise.
