Watch: JTBC Gives Sneak Preview Of 2026-2027 Drama Lineup

JTBC has shared a sneak peek of its upcoming dramas for the remaining months of 2026 and 2027!

On September 4, JTBC unveiled a lineup video teasing their 2026-2027 dramas.

First up is “Final Table” (literal title) starring Ahn Hyo Seop, Hong Hwa Yeon, Chang Ryul, and Jung Yoo Jin. The drama follows talented Korean chefs from around the world as they gather to compete in “The Table: K-Chef 2026,” a high-stakes survival competition to determine the best Korean chef.

Next is the new historical drama “God’s Beads” (literal title) starring Ahn Bo Hyun, Lee Sung Min, Claudia Kim, and Ha Yun Kyung. Described as a “military action romance,” “God’s Beads” is set in 1258, when the Goryeo dynasty’s 30-year war with the Mongolian empire was reaching its peak. The drama tells the story of an expedition team’s heroic fight as they search for their country’s sacred relics—and the struggles of the princess who sets out to save them.

The lineup also includes “Gold Digger,” a Korean remake of the British series of the same name. The drama tells the story of a fatal young man who approaches a successful middle-aged woman, leaving her to question whether his intentions are love or deception. Kim Hee Ae stars as Min Young Joo, a publishing company CEO, while Noh Sang Hyun plays freelance designer Jung Jae Hee, who becomes entangled in an emotionally charged romance with her.

Last but not least, “Human X Gumiho” (literal title) starring Jun Ji Hyun and Ji Chang Wook is a fantasy rom-com about a seductive being who bewitches humans and a human who irresistibly attracts mythical creatures as the two cross paths at the intersection of fate. Jun Ji Hyun transforms into Gu Ja Hong, a gumiho (mythical nine-tailed fox) and top actress, while Ji Chang Wook portrays Choi Seok, a gifted shaman and the director of the Osung Museum.

Watch: Ahn Bo Hyun, Claudia Kim, And More Set Out To Retrieve A “Sacred Jewel” Amid A Brutal War In New Historical Drama

Upcoming drama “Sacred Jewel” has released its first teaser!

“Sacred Jewel” is set in the year 1258 during the Goryeo Dynasty, when the kingdom is on the brink of defeat after 30 years of war with Mongolia. The story follows the heroic fight of an expedition unit that sets out onto the battlefield in search of a sacred relic—the Avalokitesvara Bead, believed to hold divine power to protect the nation—and a princess who seeks to save them.

The newly released teaser opens with Baek Gyeol’s (Ahn Bo Hyun) voice-over, “In the early 13th century, the Mongol Empire invaded Goryeo.”

The teaser then offers a glimpse of the war’s brutality as blood-soaked battlefields, fierce clashes, crumbling fortresses, and soldiers falling one after another flash across the screen. In one scene, Choi Gu (Lee Sung Min), the leader of the elite Goryeo unit “Yabyeolcho” and a seasoned veteran who has survived countless battles, collapses, emphasizing the brutality of the war.

An order is issued to recover the Avalokitesvara Bead, a sacred relic believed to protect the nation and capable of turning not only the fate of the country but also the outcome of the war. An expedition team including Baek Gyeol, the expedition unit’s special commander Choi Gu, the expedition team’s guide Geol Seung (Ha Yun Kyung), and the emperor’s youngest daughter Wang Hee (Claudia Kim) sets out on a journey to retrieve the sacred relic.

Watch the teaser below!
