The bi-annual Mango TV conference took place this week and Mango TV unveiled (hold onto your man buns) 89 Drama's. But before you get too excited, keep in mind that Mango TV released a huge line up of dramas last year, of which 88 still haven't aired. They are really out here holding onto these puppies until they see the opportune moment. I compiled some of the most interesting dramas below for your perusing pleasure. I'm especially excited for Taming the Husband and Dancing With the Tide.
