It looks like the last month of 2017 is already upon us. So now we start the dramas that will carry us into the new year. Let’s see what we have to look forward to in this December 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 December 2017:
My Pick:
1. Hwayugi
Lee Seung Gi is back! I’m beyond excited for his comeback project Hwayugi. He’s certainly my number one reason for wanting to see this drama, but oh my, there are so many more! Cha Seung Won, Oh Yeon Seo, Lee Hong Ki, and Lee El, just to name a few! Plus, it’s coming from the Hong sisters who have created some amazing dramas that frequently implement my favorite rom-com-melo genre mixture. I can’t wait!
Hwayugi is a romantic comedy horror loosely based on the Chinese novel Journey to the West about the journey of a monk and four others to atone for their sins. The drama moves the story to the modern day where the trouble making Monkey King (Lee Seung Gi) is exiled to the human world without his powers because of his corruption. He seeks to restore them with the help of a wealthy realtor (Oh Yeon Seo) descended from monks who can unseal them. The two then work to battle evil spirits together.
Hwayugi is scheduled to premiere December 23 on tvN.
