There’s no denying that K-Romance series have taken the entire world by storm. Their tenderly crafted storylines and emotional themes have increasingly captured the hearts of audiences across the globe, tripling in global viewership on Netflix between 2018 and 2022.
Our hearts skipped *several* beats while watching the profound love stories depicted in K-Romance shows like Crash Landing on You, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, and Business Proposal. Audiences were offered an authentic peek into Korean culture while reveling in the universality of love and human emotions.
With over 90% of K-Romance viewership emanating from beyond South Korea, it’s clear that the shows have struck a universal chord. “We’re genuinely humbled by how our emotive Korean shows have found a home in the hearts of global audiences through Netflix,” observes Don Kang, Vice President of Content (Korea), “stretching from the U.S., Europe, South America, and beyond.”
Building upon the global success of K-Romance shows, Netflix has gifted us 5 additional shows to be released throughout the next five months (!!) The five upcoming series will be consistent with the storytelling prowess and sentimental allure of K-Romance that we all know and love. So, are you ready for a sneak peek into what’s to come and when?
Here are Netflix’s brand new K-Romance series to be released soon…
See You in My 19th Life (premiering June 17)
This spinoff series follows the story of a heroine who vividly remembers all her past lives. In her 18th life, she falls in love with a gentleman next door but finds that he has grown into a cold and calloused man in her subsequent life. Starring Shin Hye-sun, this enchanting and thought-provoking Rom-com saga will have you wondering: Can love triumph across lifetimes?
Behind Your Touch
In this psychological rom-com, queen Han Ji-min plays the role of a veterinarian who discovers that she has the gift of psychometry. She ends up using her powers for good, teaming up with her small town’s local detective to solve neighbourhood crimes.
Destined with You
K-Romance powerhouses Cho Boa and Rowoon (also a K-Pop idol) star in this spellbinding saga, in which Rowoon plays a hotshot lawyer who is haunted by a family curse. The woman who holds the power to break the curse is none other than Cho’s character, a seemingly ordinary civil servant turned super-heroine.
A Time Called You (Premiering in the third quarter of 2023)
Ahn Hyo-seop (from Business Proposal) and Jeon Yeo-been (from Vincenzo) star in this remake of the classic Taiwanese romance Someday or One Day.
In this K-Romance, Jeon’s character travels back in time all the way to 1998 and encounters Ahn’s character who bears a strange resemblance to her late boyfriend. The leads skillfully play two different characters who look identical (since they’re played by the same person).
Doona! (Premiering in fourth quarter of 2023)
A college student (Yang Se-jong) is in a unique predicament — he lives with a former K-Pop sensation, played by real-life former K-Pop star Suzy. They grow to love and trust each other over time, but can their connection blossom in spite of the crushing pressures of fame?
Stay tuned for these exciting K-Romance series on Netflix.
