One Piece back for more adventure, star-studded K-dramas in March

One Piece: Into The Grand Line

Debuts on Netflix on March 10

Netflix’s live-action adaptation of One Piece, the best-selling manga series of all time, returns for a second season.

This time, the straw-hatted band of pirates, led by the irrepressible Luffy (Inaki Godoy), set sail for the Grand Line, a notoriously treacherous but treasure-filled maritime route.

Joined by Zoro (Mackenyu), Nami (Emily Rudd) and Usopp (Jacob Romero), Luffy faces even bigger challenges as he navigates the ragtag crew through these strange new waters and isles.

As he continues his quest to find the storied One Piece, a treasure left behind by the late pirate king, he encounters new adversaries such as Mr 0 (Joe Manganiello), one of dozens of new characters this season.

And other key elements from the manga series – including the Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden and Drum Island arcs – will make an appearance as well.

Why watch it: If the show can replicate the success of Season 1 – which shot to the top of Netflix’s global chart when it premiered in 2023 – expect dynamic storytelling that stays faithful to the source material.

Executive producer and Japanese artist Eiichiro Oda, who created the One Piece graphic novels, is reportedly still as hands-on as ever, with a say in everything from scripts to casting.

Boyfriend On Demand

Debuts on Netflix on March 6

South Korean idol Jisoo from K-pop girl group Blackpink stars in this K-drama blending high-tech fantasy and romance.

The singer-actress plays Mi-rae, a young woman burned out at work and too busy to date.

So, she subscribes to a virtual-reality dating service where simulated boyfriends have been programmed to tick all the right boxes – and avoid the messiness of real relationships.

Going on these picture-perfect virtual dates, Mi-rae gets to act out multiple love stories, from period romances to fangirl fantasies.

But even as she becomes immersed in this make-believe world, unexpected emotions arise with her colleague and rival, played by South Korean actor Seo In-guk (Doom At Your Service, 2021).

Why watch it: This is a must-see for Blackpink devotees and fans of Jisoo, in particular, who has headlined K-dramas such as Snowdrop (2021 to 2022) and Newtopia (2025).

There are also cameos from K-drama stars including Lee Jae-wook, Lee Soo-hyuk and Lee Sang-yi, who play Mi-rae’s virtual boyfriends.

Young Sherlock

Now streaming on Prime Video

Adapted from the best-selling Young Sherlock Holmes book series for young adults, this action-packed show is an origin story for the iconic fictional detective.

It follows a 19-year-old Sherlock (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) during his formative years at Oxford University. Director Guy Ritchie had helmed the hit Sherlock Holmes movies starring Robert Downey Jr in 2009 and 2011.

As in the original stories by English writer Arthur Conan Doyle, the backdrop is Victorian England.

And while the undisciplined Sherlock is not yet the world’s greatest detective, a murder mystery puts his skills to the test – and his neck on the line.

He becomes friends with a young James Moriarty (Donal Finn), his future nemesis; crosses paths with a Chinese princess and martial artist (Zine Tseng); and stumbles on an international conspiracy.

The series also co-stars Fiennes Tiffin’s actor-uncle Joseph Fiennes as Sherlock’s father, and Oscar winner Colin Firth as a powerful figure he must contend with.

Why watch it: Those who enjoyed the irreverent, kinetic style of Ritchie crime capers such as Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels (1998) can expect the same signature flair here.

Siren’s Kiss

Now streaming on Prime Video

In this dark romantic thriller, Park Min-young stars as Han Seol-ah, a beautiful art auctioneer whose fiances die under strange circumstances.

Taking on the case after an anonymous tip, Cha Woo-seok (Wi Ha-joon) – an investigator with a knack for exposing life insurance fraud – tries to figure out if she is a serial killer, or if someone is trying to frame her.

But in the cat-and-mouse game that follows, Woo-seok soon realises he may be in over his head.

Why watch it: The combined star power of Park and Wi – two of the most recognisable stars in South Korea – makes this one of the most anticipated K-dramas of 2026.

Park is known for popular series such as Marry My Husband (2024) and Sungkyunkwan Scandal (2010), while Wi became a global star with the survivalist hit Squid Game (2021 to 2025).

And this tale of fatal attraction is directed by Kim Cheol-gyu, who also helmed the acclaimed psychological dramas Flower Of Evil (2020) and Mother (2018).
