SBS Revives Midweek Dramas with ‘Things I Shouldn’t Have Kissed’
SBS is officially bringing back its iconic Wednesday-Thursday K-drama slot, and it’s doing it in style—with a heart-thumping romance starring Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin. The new series, ‘Things I Shouldn’t Have Kissed’, is set to premiere on November 12 at 9PM KST, kicking off the network’s fresh weekday drama schedule.
What’s It All About?
Think fake resumes, real feels, and irresistible tension. The story follows Go Darim (played by Ahn Eun-jin), a single woman who fakes her way into a job—posing as a widowed mom—to make ends meet. Her plan hits a romantic snag when her team leader, Gong Ji-hyuk (played by Jang Ki-yong), starts to fall for her. Cue the dopamine-inducing moments, messy misunderstandings, and steamy swoon scenes.
The Dream Team Behind the Scenes
With director Kim Jae-hyun at the helm—best known for the 2022 smash hit One Dollar Lawyer—expect punchy pacing and crowd-pleaser dynamics. The script comes from the duo behind Mystic Pop-up Bar and From Now On, Showtime!, writers Ha Yoon-ah and Tae Kyung-min. That’s a lot of rom-com firepower in one room.
Why It Matters
The return of a prime midweek K-drama slot is a big deal for fans. For the past few years, Korean networks have filled Wednesdays and Thursdays with variety shows and documentary programming. But SBS is betting big on going back to fiction. ‘Things I Shouldn’t Have Kissed’ will be the pilot project of this experiment, bringing a fresh jolt of scripted joy to the middle of your week.
Mark Your Calendars
Whether you’re here for the romance, the resume fraud, or just Jang Ki-yong’s magnificent jawline—this one’s worth setting an alarm for. ‘Things I Shouldn’t Have Kissed’ premieres Wednesday, November 12 on SBS at 9PM KST. Grab your snacks and cancel your Thursday plans.
