From Doona! to Strong Girl Nam-soon and Twinkling Watermelon to My Dearest, November brought many cheers to fans of K-dramas, with a varied range of options to choose from. If we talk about 2023, the year has been nothing short of magical for K-fanatics, who got many surprises with some of the most critically acclaimed dramas of all time. What’s even more intriguing is that the year has a lot more in store!
K-dramas in 2023 started off on a heartwarming note, thanks to Crash Course in Romance, which had a unique love story and a beautiful mother-daughter relationship at the helm. We were then transported into the world of melancholy with Call It Love, which had us questioning the gray part between black and white and how far one can go for love. We can’t thank King The Land enough for the laughs, tears, and butterflies in the stomach. Other notable mentions that we have watched this year also include Moving, My Lovely Liar, Destined With You, Divorce Attorney Shin, and The Good Bad Mother.
These addictive K-dramas have set the bar high for what to expect from the remaining 1.5 months of the year. While there were some memorable dramas that kept us hooked, there’s an array of exciting new releases to come. Below, we are mentioning five upcoming K-dramas that we cannot wait to watch, so let’s jump right in!
My Demon follows an heiress whose life turns upside down when she comes across a demon who has recently lost his powers. Both riding high on ego humble each other only to find their faiths have been interwoven. A classic enemies-to-lovers trope!
