The Latest K-Drama Gem on Netflix
Since April 22, 2026, Netflix subscribers have been able to discover the Korean series Le Cœur aux affaires. This K-drama stars Ahn Hyo-seop—whose previous work includes Business Proposal—and has already built a major fan following. It quickly became popular not just in Korea, but across the world.
Right now, Netflix is a gold mine for K-drama lovers. The platform also features all eight episodes of the intense horror series If Wishes Could Kill. On weekends, Netflix continues to release new episodes of De notre mieux, starring Go Yoon-jung, who also appeared in Comment traduire cet amour ?. But if you’re in the mood for a light, feel-good romantic comedy, Le Cœur aux affaires is the standout pick.
A Feel-Good Love Story
The show follows the standard South Korean release rhythm, with episodes arriving weekly. Ahn Hyo-seop plays a farmer and corporate head, crossing paths with a news anchor, played by Chae Won-bin, whose job has left her overwhelmed. As the story unfolds, their chemistry offers plenty of humor and heart.
After its two-episode debut on Netflix, Le Cœur aux affaires had already found success. While it briefly appeared at the lower end of the Top 10 in France, its impact was even greater in countries like Brazil and Peru, where it reached second place. According to Flixpatrol, the show became the fourth most-watched series in the world on Netflix at the time, just behind If Wishes Could Kill.
Viewers Are Loving It
Those who’ve tuned in have compared the show to comfort-viewing favorites like The Potato Lab or Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha. On Reddit, users praised its lighthearted comedy and refreshing storytelling:
“I just finished the first episodes and this series is a real breath of fresh air,” wrote one user.
“The first two episodes are entertaining.” “I expected nothing and it was pretty fun.” “Finally, a good watch after months! Funny and refreshing.” Another said, “It’s a perfect rom-com for spring—just watch without overanalyzing.”
When to Watch
Le Cœur aux affaires drops new episodes on Netflix each week, following the South Korean schedule: one new episode every Wednesday and another every Thursday.
If you’re looking for something cheerful and charming, Le Cœur aux affaires might be your next binge-worthy series. Audiences agree: it’s the refreshing K-drama hit of the season.
