Kdrama Kisses

It sure does seem like the number of dramas premiering every month just keeps going up! We have lots of new dramas to choose from in October with the premieres of lots of romantic comedies, a thriller, and a crime drama. Let’s see what we have to look forward to in this October 2017 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!

Here are the kdramas you need to keep an eye out for in October 2017:

My Pick:

1. This Life is Our First

I’m most looking forward to this cohabitation drama starring Lee Min Ki and Jung So Min. I think they will be a wonderful couple, and I can’t wait to watch them bicker their way to love. It also comes from the writer of a drama I love dearly, Ho Goo’s Love. So here’s hoping they can recreate the magic!

This Life is Our First is a romantic comedy about a man (Lee Min Ki) who is house poor that ends up living with a woman (Jung So Min) struggling financially and has no where to live. The drama will focus on relationships in modern society.

This Life is Our First is scheduled to premiere October 9 on tvN.
