“Witch’s Court” (literal title) will begin airing on the last night of the Chuseok holiday after the finale of “Girls’ Generation 1979” on October 9 at 10 p.m. KST.

This new investigative drama will revolve around two leads: a witch-like prosecutor named Ma Ee Deum (Jung Ryeo Won), who was on a highway to success but unexpectedly gets wrapped up in an accident, and newly appointed prosecutor Yeo Jin Wook (Yoon Hyun Min) who chose a judge’s robe over a doctor’s gown. These two unique characters will work together to investigate crimes against women and children.

“Mad Dog” will premiere on October 11 at 10 p.m. KST after the finale of “Manhole.” The drama will center around the investigation of insurance fraud. Choi Kang Woo (Yoo Ji Tae) is a mad dog investigator with a 99-percent success rate who doesn’t let go of something once he has gotten a hold of it. A con man with a hidden objective named Kim Min Joon (Woo Do Hwan) will join him along with former gymnast-turned-insurance investigator Jang Ha Ri (Ryu Hwa Young).

In contrast to the two investigative dramas mentioned above, KBS will air the comic drama “Confession Spouses” (literal title) on Friday-Saturday nights following “Strongest Deliveryman” on October 13 at 11 p.m. KST.
