As we draw closer to the end of 2022, we can’t help but reminisce about what a year it has been for Korean films and series. Still high on the Hallyu wave, we have binged on K-dramas throughout the year, confirming that this phenomenon is truly here to stay. While it has been an interesting October for K-drama fans, with everything from a historical drama to a love story served on a platter, November seems equally intriguing with new K-dramas releasing this month.
Put your feet up, snuggle in with some hot chocolate and make your November memorable with a fun, light-hearted drama like Call My Agent! or a serial killer crime thriller like Somebody. Let the binge begin.
