Kim Ji-won's 'Doctor X', Jang Na-ra's 'Good Partner 2' Coming... SBS Reveals 2026 Lineup

SBS announced its 2026 new drama lineup on the 11th. The lineup features a host of trusted actors such as Kim Ji-won, Jang Na-ra, So Ji-sub, Yoo Yeon-seok, and Lim Ji-yeon, raising expectations.

First, true to its reputation as a 'romantic comedy powerhouse', the lineup includes fresh and innovative romance dramas. Kim Hye-yoon and Romon star in 〈I Am Human Starting Today〉, which reinterprets the nine-tailed fox with a lively beginning, while Ahn Hyo-seop and Chae Won-bin's 〈Sold Out Again Today〉 hints at a romance between a tireless show host and a farmer. Additionally, Lim Ji-yeon takes on dual roles in the Joseon villain and chaebol's adversarial romance 〈Wonderful New World〉, and Park Min-young and Yook Sung-jae present a relatable romance in 〈Nine to Six〉, each offering different kinds of excitement.

The genre lineup has become even more substantial. Yoo Yeon-seok and Lee Som team up in the comedic legal drama 〈Shin and Law Office〉, which promises refreshing fun with its unique premise of a lawyer who can see ghosts. So Ji-sub transforms into an enraged father showcasing overwhelming action in 〈Manager Kim〉, while Kim Ji-won plays a cold genius doctor tackling corruption in medical power in the medical noir 〈Doctor X: The Era of the White Mafia〉, a highly anticipated work that will thrill genre enthusiasts.

The return of proven successful seasonal dramas is also welcome. Ahn Bo-hyun and Jung Eun-chae will showcase a new collaboration in 〈Chaebol X Detective 2〉, and Jang Na-ra's 〈Good Partner 2〉, which recorded a peak rating of 21% and created a syndrome, is making a comeback. Notably, in Season 2, Kim Hye-yoon joins as Jang Na-ra's new partner, promising a fresh dynamic different from the previous work.

From romance to medical noir, thrilling action, and reliable seasonal dramas, SBS's tightly woven 2026 lineup is expected to heat up viewers' living rooms throughout the year. With the 'Year of the Red Horse' approaching, all eyes are on the exciting developments of SBS dramas.
