New Korean Dramas and Movies to Watch This July 2025
July 2025 is hoping to be packed with fresh Korean dramas and one huge fantasy movie fans have been waiting for. From intense legal stories to treasure hunts and even a world-ending fight for survival, there’s a lot dropping this month. Here’s the list.
Law and the City – Premieres July 5
If you love dramas with smart lawyers, friendship, and real-life struggles, this one’s for you. Law and the City follows five young lawyers working in the heart of Seoul. They’re all trying to make a name for themselves in the crazy world of law while dealing with their own personal drama behind the scenes.
Big names like Lee Jong-suk and Moon Ga-young lead the cast. It’s Lee Jong-suk’s first big role since his military service, and fans are hyped to see him back. Expect plenty of courtroom tension, late-night office talks, and that classic friends-turn-family vibe.
Catch it every Saturday and Sunday on tvN, with global viewers able to stream it on Disney+.
Low Life – Premieres July 16
Next up is Low Life, a gritty crime drama with a bit of humor mixed in. Set in the 1970s, it follows a street-smart con artist, Oh Gwan-seok, and his clueless nephew, Oh Hee-dong, as they chase after a hidden treasure. But this isn’t your typical treasure hunt, there’s betrayal, old-school gangster action, and lots of crazy twists.
Ryu Seung-ryong plays the experienced uncle, while Yang Se-jong brings some charm as the naive nephew. It’s packed with old-school Korean vibes, retro fashion, and high-stakes schemes. You can stream it worldwide on Disney+, with new episodes dropping every week.
Omniscient Reader: The Prophet – Hits July 23
Probably the most talked-about release this month is Omniscient Reader: The Prophet. This movie is based on the massively popular web novel Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, and fans have been buzzing about it for months.
The story follows Kim Dok-ja, an ordinary office worker who suddenly finds himself inside the world of a novel he’s been reading. Now, the fate of humanity rests on him using everything he knows about the story to survive, and maybe change how it ends.
The cast is stacked. Ahn Hyo-seop plays Kim Dok-ja, Lee Min-ho takes on the role of Yoo Joong-hyuk, and there are appearances from BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, Chae Soo-bin, Nana, and more.
Release Dates:
South Korea and Taiwan – July 23

Singapore – July 31
North America – August 1
Nigerian singer, Femi Kuti, reveals his reasons for leaving his father, Fela Kuti’s, band. During a recent interview, the singer revealed that he left the band to find his own identity. He explained that he was often asked if he was going to be a singer like his dad.
“The moment I formed my band, his fan base descended on me. It was very difficult to find a good write-up about me then because the press hated me, and at that time, there was no internet for me to defend myself.
“Being under my father, I didn’t have any possibility of my own life, including having children. I saw my life in his life.”
Nigerian actress, Joke Silva, announces the death of her brother, John Olabiyi Silva. The actress took to her social media to share her tribute to him.
“With acceptance of God’s sovereign will, we announce the call to the glory of my dear brother, John Olabiyi Silva… long John Silva… Bros B… Uncle B… my easy-go-lucky brother. Rest in peace. January 22nd, 1953 – August 29th, 2025.”
Fans and friends commented, offering comfort to the actress and mourning her brother.
Nigerian singer, Reekado Banks, reacts as fans drag him for going to church and describe him as a failed artist.
It can be noted that a social media content creator, Kesari, spoke up on his cousin about faith, to which Reekado replied and invited him to his church.
Later on, the pair were spotted in church, and a fan then commented and dragged the singer for going back to church after failing in the music industry.
“When they fail at music, they start going to church.” Reekado Banks then replied, “Fcck that nigga whose comment I saw that made me feel down today. My friend called me and told me to delete it. Fcck you!”
