Weekend Stream: Four Hands premiere, Married Woman Killer mid-run, Spooky binge

Spooky in Love closed Sunday at 7.9 percent nationwide, its series high. tvN's Saturday-Sunday slot passes to Four Hands, Two Sonatas this weekend. Gong Hyo-jin's Married Woman Killer is still the sharper Friday-Saturday appointment, with episode 10 landing Saturday night. Here is the finished late-August queue.

Friday and Saturday: Married Woman Killer episodes 9 and 10

MBC airs episode 9 Friday, August 28 at 21:50 KST and episode 10 Saturday, August 29 at the same time. Episode 8 averaged 8.8 percent nationwide and peaked at 9.9 percent when a stranger named Sergei introduced himself to Yoo Bo-na's husband, Kwon Tae-sung (Jung Joon-won). The same hour flashed back to a mountain-lodge romance and a snowfield kiss between Gong Hyo-jin and Jung Joon-won, then returned to Kingfisher sniper logistics.

Ratings cooled slightly after episode 6 crossed 10 percent. The show still owns the Friday-Saturday crown. Rakuten Viki carries international streams in supported regions.

If you are current, protect Friday and Saturday nights. If you are behind, eight episodes is a real catch-up block before the Sergei thread pays off. Our take: this is the sharper appointment of the weekend. Save the piano premiere for Sunday if you can only handle one new drama voice.

Saturday and Sunday: Four Hands, Two Sonatas episodes 1 and 2

tvN premieres Four Hands, Two Sonatas (포핸즈) Saturday, August 29 and Sunday, August 30 at 21:10 KST, with Netflix simulcast outside Korea. Song Kang plays Kang Bi-o, Lee Jun-young plays Choi Jeong-yo, and Jang Gyu-ri completes the arts-high-school triangle as Hong Jae-in. Park Hyun-seok directs; Shin Yi-won wrote the 12-episode run about friendship, rivalry, and first love at a piano conservatory.

Four hands is the duet technique where two players share one keyboard. Promos lean on Bi-o and Jeong-yo's chemistry at the bench, commuting home together, and the youth-drama energy that follows Spooky out of the slot. Watch both episodes after dinner, or save Sunday morning if Saturday night belongs to Gong's assassin slot.

Closed binge: Spooky in Love if you missed the finale

All 12 episodes of Spooky in Love are on Netflix. The finale aired August 23 with a happy-ending promise between Cheon Yeo-ri (Park Eun-bin) and prosecutor Ma Gang-uk (Yang Se-jong). Nielsen put the close at 7.9 percent nationwide, peaking at 9 percent. Netflix kept the show in its global non-English top 10 for five straight weeks through mid-August.

This is the comfort reset if you skipped the summer run while Agent Kim and Gong's pivot ate your weekends. Twelve episodes at roughly 70 minutes each is a two-day project, not a single sitting. Start episode 1 Saturday afternoon if the new premiere feels too slow out of the gate.

Theatrical: Madame in Saigon opens Friday

Madame in Saigon goes wide Friday, August 28, in more than 200 North American theaters through Reel Citrus and Live On. Thanh Hằng and Hồng Ánh star in 1960s Saigon nightclub drama Mesdames Thanh Sắc, renamed for diaspora audiences after a soft domestic run. Our opening-week guide has the real 1963 case underneath it and who should actually buy a ticket.

Pair a Friday or Saturday matinee with Dear You on your September calendar if you want a Teochew-language follow-up the next week. Our Southeast Asian film desk piece frames why these theatrical pipes matter when streaming defaults to K-drama volume.

Optional: My Bias, My Boss and Shop for Killers

My Bias, My Boss dropped episodes 7 and 8 Monday and Tuesday on tvN, with Viki and HBO Max in select regions. Kim Hye-jun's idol-stan office rom-com is the Mon-Tue comfort lane if Friday-Saturday feels too sharp. Catch up now if you want bias-language humor without waiting for next week's pair.

A Shop for Killers Season 2 finished August 12 on Disney+ and Hulu. All episodes are closed if you want protective-family thriller energy instead of weekly drops.

Leaving the couch, and next week

Madame in Saigon is the national matinee play if your weekend needs a theater seat. Hong Kong's ASEAN Film Festival is still screening through September if you are in the city and want a free regional lineup between K-drama appointments.

In Atlanta, Buford Highway's FEAST South Asia fundraiser runs Friday, August 28 in Doraville. Labor Day weekend brings Atlanta Halal World Fest September 5 and 6 in Duluth.

Do not start a new September premiere stack tonight. Four Hands and Married Woman Killer are enough appointment TV for one weekend.
