Nov 04 | The Remarried Empress
Nov 06 | Possible Love
Nov 09 | One of A Kind Romance
Moving away from complicated marriages, One of a Kind Romance brings us a love story between a struggling writer and a famous actor. Red Velvet's Joy plays Gong Yu Il, a woman juggling part-time jobs while trying to figure out what she wants to do with her life. What most people don't know is that she's also the writer behind a novel called Star and Half-Moon. Then there's Tak Mu I, played by Kim Hyun Jin, a hugely successful actor whose glamorous life isn't quite as perfect as it looks. He's dealing with insomnia and threats from a stalker, and the one thing that brings him comfort is an unfinished novel he loves. When he discovers Yu Il's connection to that story, their lives take an unexpected turn. Before long, she ends up working as his manager. With a struggling writer, a troubled celebrity, and a connection that goes beyond their professional lives, this could be an interesting pick for fans of celebrity romances with a little more emotional depth. One of a Kind Romance premieres on November 9. Watch it Here.
Nov 11 | Happy Anding
If you'd rather start November with something lighter, Happy Anding might be right up your alley. Kang Hoon plays Kang Tae Gu, the leader of a comedy trio that's spent the last ten years trying to make it big. Unfortunately, things haven't exactly gone according to plan. His teammates, played by Cho Hyun Chul and Kim Jung Jin, are still right there with him, trying to keep their dream alive. Things start to change when they meet Go Eun Young, played by Lee Yi Dam, a devoted fan who gradually becomes part of their lives. Between their struggles to make it as performers and the friendships they build along the way, this looks like a relatable story that might hit close to home. The drama premieres on tvN starting November 6th. Watch it Here.
Nov 11 | What A Boss Wants
Also releasing on November 11, What a Boss Wants has a pretty interesting setup of its own. Sung Hoon plays Kwon Do Hyuk, the CEO of an entertainment company and the heir to a wealthy chaebol family. He's smart, successful, and used to making decisions based on data, but understanding people isn't exactly his strong suit. Despite his polished image, he's struggling with loneliness and insomnia. Then he hears the voice of an indie singer named Lee Eun Chae, played by Oh Se Young, and becomes determined to find her. Meanwhile, Eun Chae is trying to build a future for herself while juggling job hunting and performing with her band. Their lives couldn't be more different, but this unexpected connection might be exactly what both of them need. Based on a web novel, What a Boss Wants premieres on MBN on November 11. Watch it Here.
Nov 14 | Sword & Silence
Next up premiering on November 14th, Sword & Silence takes us back to a time when the fate of entire kingdoms hung in the balance. Set during the struggle to unify Korea's Three Kingdoms, the drama follows Silla as it faces enemies on multiple fronts. Lee Hyun Wook plays Kim Beom Min, the future King Munmu, who's determined to bring an end to the conflict. His father, Kim Chun Chu, played by Kim Kang Woo, is a political strategist trying to secure alliances while the situation grows increasingly dangerous. Jang Hyuk and Park Sung Woong also join the cast, so there'll be plenty of powerful figures caught up in this fight for control. If you enjoy historical dramas packed with ambition and power struggles, this one could be worth checking out. Watch it Here.
Nov 16 | Crash 2: Fury & Road
Next up, Crash 2 is bringing back the Traffic Crime Investigation team, and this time, the cases are getting bigger. Lee Min Ki returns as Cha Yeon Ho, the analytical investigator who always pays attention to the smallest details, while Kwak Sun Young is back as the tough and quick-thinking Min So Hee. The rest of the team is returning, too, but there's a big change this season. Their investigations are expanding beyond a single local station, taking them into traffic crimes across the country. NCT's Jisung also joins the cast as Ji Dae Se, a rookie officer with martial arts skills who's about to find out just how complicated these investigations can get. The new season premieres on November 16, so if you enjoyed the first season's mix of crime-solving and action, you'll want to keep this one on your radar. Watch it Here.
Nov 20 | Good Partner 2
But if you'd rather trade car chases for courtroom confrontations, Good Partner 2 is also making its return this month. Jang Na Ra is back as Cha Eun Kyung, the sharp divorce lawyer who's now running her own law firm. And while being your own boss sounds great, it comes with its own set of problems. She's still handling complicated divorce cases, but now she also has to build a business and keep it running. Joining her this season is Kim Hye Yoon as Kang Hye Sung, an experienced lawyer with her own approach to divorce cases. This time around, we're getting two capable professionals who can challenge each other on equal footing, rather than an experienced lawyer mentoring a newcomer. It'll be interesting to see how their different approaches play out as Cha Eun Kyung takes on this new chapter of her career. The second season premieres on SBS on November 20. Watch it Here.
Nov 20 | The Blue Road
If you're looking for a thriller that pulls you into a dangerous mystery, The Blue Road deserves a spot on your watchlist. The series brings together Korean actor Son Suk Ku and Japanese actor Nagayama Eita as two detectives investigating a series of murders that may be connected across South Korea and Japan. Son Suk Ku plays Kim Seok, a detective with Seoul's Metropolitan Police Agency, while Nagayama plays a Japanese investigator whose case starts to look suspiciously familiar. When a murder in Tokyo echoes a recent killing in Korea, the two investigations begin to overlap. The detectives have different approaches and plenty of reasons to question each other's methods, but they'll have to put those differences aside if they want to catch the killer before more people become victims. The series is directed by Han Jun Hee, known for the gritty crime drama D.P., which makes this one particularly interesting for fans of darker, character-driven thrillers. The Blue Road arrives on Netflix on November 20. Watch it Here.
Nov 25 | Nine To Six
And finally, rounding out the month's lineup is Nine To Six, an office romance starring Park Min Young and Yook Sungjae. Park Min Young plays Kang Yi Ji, a capable deputy manager on the legal team at an automotive company. She's ambitious, practical, and completely focused on her career, so romance is pretty much the last thing on her mind. Then she meets Han Seon Woo, played by Yook Sungjae, a warm-hearted intern who's much more open about his feelings and approaches life very differently from her. Their first meeting doesn't exactly go smoothly, and their personalities certainly don't make things any easier. But as they spend more time together at work, those initial clashes could turn into something neither of them expected. Based on the Chinese drama The Rational Life, this could be a fun pick for anyone who enjoys watching workplace tension slowly turn into romance. Watch it Here.
