Kdrama Kisses

We’re moving right along through the year as we arrive at the month of love.  And what better place to be than Dramaland to celebrate!  Let’s see what we have to look forward to in this February 2019 edition of “Korean Dramas You Need to Be Watching.”  This monthly series is meant to keep you updated on what’s happening in that amazing world of Korean dramas so that you don’t miss out on anything!

Here are the kdramas you should keep an eye out for in February 2019:

My Pick:

1. Haechi (Hatch)

Having another historical coming our way so early in the year certainly has me excited. Haechi is Jung Il Woo’s post-military comeback, so that also has my attention. I’m hoping for intrigue and thrills with this one!
