Another K-drama is arriving on Netflix this November! Mr Plankton, set to debut on November 9, is a new romantic comedy that promises to captivate fans of Korean dramas. Written by Jo Yong (It’s Okay to Not Be Okay) and directed by Hong Jong Chan (Juvenile Justice), this drama offers a touching and humorous perspective on people who, like plankton, feel disconnected and unable to anchor themselves to others.
Mr. Plankton follows the journey of Hae Jo (played by Woo Do Hwan), a man who feels like he doesn’t belong anywhere. Born “by mistake,” he grew up as a wanderer, unable to connect with anyone around him. His lonely and empty life mirrors his aimless heart—until he meets Jo Jae Mi (Lee Yoo Mi), a woman dealing with her own misfortunes.
Jae Mi is regarded as “the unluckiest woman in the world,” but that doesn’t stop her from wanting to give Hae Jo all the love she can and build a family with him. The story centers on the relationship between these two characters, who, despite their personal struggles and feelings of being adrift in life, find comfort and hope in one another.
The teaser for Mr Plankton has already sparked excitement among K-drama fans. It shows Hae Jo and Jae Mi walking together, their expressions revealing a romantic chemistry, but with a certain distance, symbolizing their difficulty in connecting.
With poignant lines like Hae Jo’s quote, “Why does life become so fun and chaotic at the end? It makes you hold on tight,” the drama promises not only moments of comedy and romance but also deep reflections on the complexities of life.
Director Hong Jong Chan highlighted that not only the protagonists, Hae Jo and Jae Mi, but all the characters in the story are lovable and will surely win over the audience. With a talented cast including Woo Do Hwan and Lee Yoo Mi, the drama offers performances that promise to be as captivating as they are emotional.
Get ready to follow this unique journey that promises to bring romance, humor, and emotion to your list of favorite K-dramas.
