Most anticipated kdramas
The most exciting kdramas to come out in the near (or far) future.
I try to select dramas that have more than one selling point, as a rom-com with a good director or a good cast is not enough for me to get excited. It can turn out to be a hot mess or, even worse, bland and boring. Cdramas are not included for the most part, as it is even harder for me to predict if they will be worth anything.
