Upcoming Korean Dramas and Movies To Watch In November 2023: BTS: Yet To Come, My Demon and more

We've now entered the exciting month of November, filled with a diverse range of entertainment options. Last month treated us to an array of Korean dramas, including the gripping revenge story Ballerina, where Ok-ju seeks justice for her friend and Lee Yoo-mi's portrayal of the cheerful superhero in Strong Girl Nam-soon.

Our enthusiasm peaked as Bae Suzy charmed us with her captivating performance in the realistic K-drama Doona, and we experienced a clash of genres with the time travel coming-of-age drama Twinkling Watermelon and Rowoon's historical romantic comedy The Matchmakers.

This month promises to be just as captivating with the arrival of new dramas like Nam Joo-hyuk's Vigilante, Park Bo-young's Daily Dose of Sunshine, and Song Kang's alluring presence in My Demon.

Here's a roundup of all the movies and series that will be keeping us entertained this month:
