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

North America – August 1
Nigerian actress Patience Ozokwor has spoken about parenting and shared advice with parents who overprotect and shield their children from the hardships of the real world.
The actress explained that excessive protection may not help children, as they may not learn how to cope with or adjust to life’s challenges. She reflected on her own approach to parenting and said “The fastest way to ruin a child’s life is to say you don’t want them to suffer the way you did.”
She added “When you’re gone, they may start fighting over your property. I told my son, ‘My house isn’t yours. Go and work for your own.’”
Priscilla Ojo and her husband, Juma Jux, have barred actress Lizzy Anjorin from posting about their son or about them on social media.
The couple filed the matter in court, and an interim order has officially been granted restraining the actress from publishing, posting, circulating, uploading or broadcasting photographs of their son on social media platforms.
The order also restrains Anjorin from publishing or broadcasting content concerning the couple on her social media platforms.
It can be noted that the actress and Priscilla’s mother, Iyabo Ojo, have been in a public dispute, and it appears the situation remains quite serious.
Former BBNaija housemate Tochi has shared relatable advice with his fellow ex-housemates, urging them to build their lives beyond the focus on celebrity.
He advised them to develop real careers and businesses, noting that not everyone may succeed solely from the fame gained from the reality show.
Tochi said “Pack celebrity nonsense and hustle. Not everyone is destined to make it from the show.”
He shared a relatable insight, noting that not everyone will become successful through the show and that ex-housemates should avoid getting lost in fame, as fame may eventually fade.
