Netflix is about to present us with two new Korean dramas in November.┬ĀThe Fabulous, starring┬ĀChae Soo Bin┬Āand SHINeeŌĆÖs┬ĀMinho, will kick off by telling the story of four best friends chasing their dreams while juggling demanding jobs, romantic dilemmas and wild nights in the fashion industry. It looks like the dramaŌĆÖs success will ultimately depend on whether or not it will successfully capture youthful romance and fashion all at once. Producer Kim Jung Hyun once revealed that he decided to create the show because he got fascinated by the script of its beautiful and nonchalant story, which was different from that of other existing rom-com.
Call My Agent!┬Āis an office comedy series based on the hit French series of the same name that captures the fierce struggles of top stars and their managers. The upcoming series boasts an exciting topic of talent management and a star-studded cast of┬ĀLee Seo Jin,┬ĀKwak Sun Young,┬ĀSeo Hyun Woo, and┬ĀJoo Hyun Young. However, the cultural difference between France and South Korea may act as a variable in the showŌĆÖs success since the two countries share very different customs and sentiments. Considering that┬ĀSh**ting Stars, which was about a similar theme, didnŌĆÖt do well on the small screen, the showŌĆÖs success will ultimately be determined when it airs.
Disney Plus is also planning to showcase two new dramas in November. The first in line will be a teenage thriller series titled┬ĀRevenge of Others, starring young, promising actors.
