October 2026 K-Drama Releases
Updated: 4 days ago
Did you see that? That was the year flying right on by lol. I was busy with launching the blog this month, so I didn't have much time for my dramas (ironically). In September, I finished My Bias, My Boss which was a decent, mid range rom com (Click the link to check out my review). I am currently watching A Bone Fide Killer and I'm loving it!
There are SOOOO many K-Dramas coming out in October, with 14 new shows coming our way, along the 6 dramas currently airing. I don't have enough hours in the day! I'm so excited, but overwhelmed. Interestingly, there are 2 Japanese/Korean Hybrid dramas in the new October batch. I'm most interested in Dive into You, 100 Days of Deception, Take Charge of My Heart, and Between Steps.
New in K-Dramas on the Blog in September: My Bias, My Boss and Spooky in Love reviews went up.
