Here is the February 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! We have a big premiere this month to go along with the many dramas that premiered in January.
Here are the kdramas you need to keep an eye out for in February 2016:
My Pick:
Descendants of the Sun
Descendants of the Sun may very well be the most highly anticipated drama this year. With Song Joong Ki making his big drama comeback after his return from the military, fans have been excited since the moment he was cast. And it looks like we have quite a nice pairing with leading lady Song Hye Kyo. Our duo will deal with relationships and love while also fighting for their lives. This is a big production drama coming from the popular writer of Heirs and Secret Garden. It certainly looks like it will be quite a ride!
Descendants of the Sun tells the story of a UN captain (Song Joong Ki) and a doctor (Song Hye Kyo) who fall in love while providing aid in a country dealing with a natural disaster and civil strife.
Descendants of the Sun is scheduled to premiere February 24 on KBS.
BEGINNING IN FEBRUARY:
Come Back Ahjussi
Come Back Ahjussi tells the story of two middle-aged men who die and then come back to earth and inhabit the bodies of a young man (Rain) and young woman (Oh Yeon Seo).
Come Back Ahjussi is scheduled to premiere February 24 on SBS.

Remember
Remember tells the story of an attorney named Seo Jin Woo (Yoo Seung Ho) who suffers from a condition called hyperthymesia which results in having an autobiographical memory where he can remember everything in extreme detail. When his father is falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to death, he sets out to clear his name with the help of his childhood friend (Park Min Young). But then Jin Woo’s excellent memory starts to fade, and it’s a race against time to help his father while he still can.

Six Flying Dragons
Six Flying Dragons is a historical about the people who were a part of the founding of the Joseon dynasty. Yoo Ah In plays Prince Lee Bang Won and Shin Se Kyung portrays his love interest Boon Yi. Kim Myung Min plays a character named Jung Do Jun who is at odds politically with Lee Bang Won.
Six Flying Dragons airs Monday and Tuesday on SBS.
Master of Trade: Inn 2015 will wrap up its run later this month. The 50 episode melodrama Glamorous Temptation is also still moving along.
February is a slow month in terms of new premieres. But we had plenty of dramas that premiered in January to choose from. Of course, I’m super excited about Descendants of the Sun. I also really hope Come Back Ahjussi is a fun ride.
