After getting off to a thrilling start , Disney+’s blockbuster k-drama Tempest  (Korean title: 북극성, Polaris/North Star) consistently delivered heart-stopping action, mindbending plot twists, and a pleasantly surprising dose of romance throughout its 9-episode run. Boasting of an all-star cast, acclaimed production team, and stunning visual effects, the action-packed spy romance has become the streaming platform’s most successful k-drama of 2025. Here are our thoughts on why

"Tempest" is a 2025 Disney+ political thriller starring Jun Ji-hyun ("My Sassy Girl") and Gang Dong-won ("Temptation of Wolves").

At Gwenchanoona, we don’t use the word "masterpiece lightly." But "When Life Gives You Tangerines" definitely is.

"Love Scout" consistently delivered week after week of some of the best k-drama episodes we’ve ever had the pleasure of viewing.

Writer Lee Na-eun returns with another Valentine’s Day healing drama that reminds you that love is never just about love.

It's fun watching two people go from throwing insults to throwing themselves into each other’s arms never gets old.
