The K-drama scene is in progress moving forward, and with November close at hand, it’s poised to reveal its newest offerings, a variety of upcoming K-dramas to choose from. I hope these releases will make consumers swoon with their romantic tensions, intricate plotlines, and dynamic characters. For example, here are five K-dramas that you may want to add to your November watchlist.

Brewing Love

The air is crisp, the leaves are changing, and the anticipation for winter is building. In tandem, a romance between Chae Young-ju (Kim Se-jeong) and Yoon Min-ju (Lee Jong-won) is adding to the mood. In Brewing Love, when contrasting personalities meet, Young-ju, an ex-military soldier turned star saleswoman for a liquor company, and Min-ju, the renowned CEO of a brewery, fall in love. The drama is releasing on November 4.

Gangnam B-Side

Nothing beats the intrigue of a suspenseful crime action drama, let alone if it features Ji Chang-wook. As the season of muted hues begins to settle in, it sets the stage for gripping narratives like Gangnam B-Side, whose potential to intrigue and thrill increases through the moment itself.

A shunned detective feels obliged to probe when his daughter’s friend as well as several women go missing. With the help of a lawyer and Ji Chang-wook’s Yoon Gil-ho, a dubious dealer who rules Seoul’s Gangnam district, he plunges farther into the dark realm of drugs and crime. The series premieres on November 6.

Mr. Plankton

More romance is in store for November with Woo Do-hwan and Lee Yoo-mi’s Mr. Plankton. It follows Woo’s Hae-jo, who, already entangled in a dull, dismal life, suddenly is diagnosed with a life-threatening condition. Meanwhile, his ex-girlfriend Jo Jae-mi is marrying another man for a happily ever after. But, on D-day, she leaves with Hae-jo on a quest for discoveries and profound realizations through his fleeting life. Mr. Plankton is scheduled for release on November 8.

The Fiery Priest Season 2

The Fiery Priest Season 2 goes into the murky world of a drug investigation, with the person in charge as a fiery and angry priest, an unlikely yet fascinating hero. Kim Nam-gil reprises his role as Father Kim Michael, aka Hae-il, bringing his distinct perspective to the case as he traverses the underworld in his capacity as an agent of justice. 

This time, with a team of two detectives and a prosecutor, he travels to Busan for the case. I believe his inner conflicts and anger issues while dealing with its complexities will provide an in-depth look into the ideas of morality, justice, and the human condition. The Fiery Priest Season 2 is releasing on November 8.

Parole Examiner Lee

Esteemed attorney Lee Han-shin (Go Soo) winds up as a parole officer, who has to deal with the challenging right and wrong terrain in deciding the fate of inmates. I feel the drama explores the tough moral decisions that he faces in his new role, effectively changing from advocating for individual clients to becoming the ultimate arbiter of justice. The intriguing courtroom thriller will air on November 18.
