8 New Korean Dramas You Shouldn’t Miss This November

As we near the end of the year, everyone’s getting much busier with the holiday season. But that doesn’t mean you can’t kick back and relax to enjoy a good Korean drama, especially since there’s a lot premiering this month! We’ve got a lot of shorter series for this cycle, with more on the 8- to 12-episode length instead of the more usual 16 episodes.
