Here is the November edition of “Korean Dramas You Need to Be Watching.” This monthly series is meant to keep you updated on what’s happening in the world of Korean dramas so that you don’t miss out on anything! November has several new dramas to choose from to go along with the many that premiered last month.
Here are the kdramas you need to keep an eye out for in November 2015:
My Pick:
Oh My Venus
Oh My Venus marks the highly anticipated return of Shin Min Ah to dramaland, and she is paired with fan favorite So Ji Sub as her leading man. The premise sounds like She Was Pretty meets Birth of a Beauty. I know I’m excited for the drama, and I really hope it delivers.
Oh My Venus is a romantic comedy centering around two people who go on a journey to find love and health together. Kang Joo Eun (Shin Min Ah), was once beautiful and popular in the past, but is now unfit and unattractive. Joo Eun is now working to regain her figure with the help of a famous health trainer, Kim Young Ho, played by So Ji Sub. Our couple will work to heal their past hurts while journeying through weight loss together.
Oh My Venus premieres November 16 on KBS.
