New K-Dramas November 2026: Premiere Dates & Where to Watch

Twenty-eight episodes: that is how long KBS2 has planned Munmu to run, according to Sports Kyunghyang. No other new drama this November with an episode count on record goes past 16.

Seven new K-dramas in November 2026 have a premiere date as of October 10: four on Korean channels and three that open on streaming services. Two are second seasons, Crash 2 and Good Partner 2. Disney+ starts the month with The Remarried Empress on Wednesday, November 4, and Friday, November 20 is the busy night, with Netflix's Blue Road and SBS's Good Partner 2. Six October premieres run on into November, and four more titles are listed without a confirmed date.

Episode by episode, day by day: our K-drama schedule shows what airs today and this week, in KST and in your time zone.

What time do November K-dramas air in the US, UK, Philippines and India?

All of November runs on standard time: the UK leaves daylight saving on October 25 and the US on November 1. For the whole month, US Eastern is KST minus 14 hours, the UK KST minus 9, the Philippines KST minus 1 and India KST minus 3 hours 30 minutes. A 9:50 p.m. KST episode is 7:50 a.m. in New York, 12:50 p.m. in London, 8:50 p.m. in Manila and 6:20 p.m. in India, the same day. These are Korean broadcast times; a service abroad may post an episode later, and none has published an hour for these titles that we could find.

Netflix moves an hour on the Korean clock. Its help centre says Netflix originals typically go live worldwide at 12:00 a.m. Pacific. On October 30, with California still on daylight time, that is 4 p.m. KST, the hour Soompi gives for Dead-End Job. From November 1 the same midnight is 5 p.m. KST. If Blue Road keeps that default on November 20, it lands at 3 a.m. Eastern, 8 a.m. in the UK, 4 p.m. in Manila and 1:30 p.m. in India. Netflix has not posted its hour, so the table says TBA.

Once they start, the K-drama schedule tracks them night by night. Platforms differ by country, and our guide to watching K-dramas legally covers what each service carries.

November 4 to 11: an empress, a manager and a boss

The Remarried Empress. Disney+ confirmed November 4 in August, per Edaily. Shin Min-a plays Empress Navier and Ju Ji-hoon Emperor Sovieshu, who leaves her for an escaped slave; Lee Se-young and Lee Jong-suk, as Crown Prince Heinrey, complete the four leads, per Resonate, which names Hulu as the US home. The ten episodes arrive four at once, then two every Wednesday to a finale on November 25, according to Wikipedia and Resonate.

One of a Kind Romance. Red Velvet's Joy plays a job seeker who ends up managing a top star, played by Kim Hyun-jin, who hides the scars of a stalking incident; Shin Hyun-soo and Kang Na-eon co-star in the webtoon adaptation, per Soompi. TMDB lists 12 episodes on TVING. No platform abroad has been named.

What a Boss Wants. MBN's new Wednesday-Thursday drama casts Sung Hoon as a chaebol boss with zero sense of taste, searching for the woman whose voice he heard on an album, opposite Oh Se-young, per Soompi. TMDB lists 12 episodes; MBN has not published a time.

November 14 to 20: a 28-episode king and two second seasons

Munmu. KBS2's epic starts on Saturday, November 14 at 9:20 p.m. KST, per Soompi, which calls it The Great King Munmu; TMDB files it as Sword & Silence (문무 in Korean). Lee Hyun-wook plays Kim Beop-min, Silla's King Munmu, and Jang Hyuk plays Goguryeo's Yeon Gaesomun, with Kim Kang-woo and Park Sung-woong, per Sports Kyunghyang. The war is Silla against Goguryeo, Baekje and Tang, for the whole peninsula.

Crash 2. The soft date of the month. ENA said in February that the traffic-crime series would return on Mondays and Tuesdays in the second half of 2026, with Lee Min-ki, Kwak Sun-young and Heo Sung-tae back and NCT's Jisung joining, Soompi reported. November 16 comes from TMDB, which lists 12 episodes through December 22, and from Wikipedia's ENA schedule. We found no ENA announcement of the date itself.

Blue Road. Netflix set it for November 20, the Korea Herald reported. Son Suk-ku and Eita Nagayama lead the hunt for a killer working across both countries: a body in Tokyo with a Korean phrase written in blood, then one in Korea with a message in Japanese. Han Jun-hee directs, and What's on Netflix counts eight episodes.

Good Partner 2. SBS's new Friday-Saturday drama starts the same night, Star News reported: Jang Na-ra returns as Cha Eun-kyung, managing attorney at Korea's first divorce law firm, Kim Hye-yoon joins as her new partner and Park Hae-jin is the new male lead. TMDB lists 16 episodes, which at two a week runs to January 9, 2027.

Still airing from October, and when each one ends

Six October premieres carry into November. Times are Korean broadcast slots on November's offsets. The last episodes of Doctor X and 100 Days of Deception are What's on Netflix's dates; the other four are our count from TMDB's episode totals at two a week, assuming no breaks.

Title	Network	Air days	KST	US ET	UK	Philippines	India	Last episode
Doctor X	SBS	Fri–Sat	9:50 p.m.	7:50 a.m.	12:50 p.m.	8:50 p.m.	6:20 p.m.	Sat Nov 14
100 Days of Deception	tvN	Sat–Sun	9:10 p.m.	7:10 a.m.	12:10 p.m.	8:10 p.m.	5:40 p.m.	Sun Nov 29
Final Table	JTBC	Sat–Sun	10:40 p.m.	8:40 a.m.	1:40 p.m.	9:40 p.m.	7:10 p.m.	Sun Nov 29
Oh! My Guard	Lifetime	Sat–Sun	10:50 p.m.	8:50 a.m.	1:50 p.m.	9:50 p.m.	7:20 p.m.	Sun Dec 13
Summer Vacation	Lifetime	Mon–Tue	10:50 p.m.	8:50 a.m.	1:50 p.m.	9:50 p.m.	7:20 p.m.	Tue Nov 24
The Perfect Lie	MBC	Fri–Sat	9:50 p.m.	7:50 a.m.	12:50 p.m.	8:50 p.m.	6:20 p.m.	Sat Dec 5

The slots come from the Wikipedia entries for Doctor X and 100 Days of Deception, and from Soompi's October list for the other four. Both of the first two stream on Netflix abroad, per What's on Netflix; Soompi points Summer Vacation viewers to Viki, and TMDB's listing shows The Perfect Lie on Netflix. Ahn Hyo-seop leads Final Table as a chef with a mysterious past, per Soompi. Dead-End Job is the outlier: Netflix premieres it on October 30, and Soompi says every episode arrives at once. Doctor X's finale also closes the run we set against Japan's original Doctor-X.

Dates not confirmed yet

• Nine to Six. Park Min-young, Yook Sung-jae and Go Soo. What's on Netflix lists it for Netflix in November 2026; no premiere date has been announced.
• Happy Anding (뜨거운 안녕). A tvN comedy-drama about three unknown comedians, with Kang Hoon and Lee E-dam. TMDB lists November 6 with one episode entered and the show still in production; we found no announcement in English or Korean.
• The Substitute (대리수능). A TVING thriller about a top student forced to sit the college entrance exam for someone else, with Bae Hyun-sung, Cha Kang-yoon and Uhm Ji-won. Only TMDB gives a date, November 19.
• Portraits of Delusion. Suzy and Kim Seon-ho in a 12-episode Disney+ original due in the second half of 2026, per Wikipedia. No date.

Not a drama, and not counted: Netflix adds Possible Love, a film, on November 6, per What's on Netflix.

Mina's Take

I start with Munmu, and the 28 episodes are the reason. Everything else in the table runs 16 or fewer and is built to be finished; Munmu asks for a winter, the kind of appointment viewing I had stopped expecting from a new drama, and Jang Hyuk as Yeon Gaesomun is reason enough to keep the appointment. Blue Road is second, for the opposite reason: eight episodes and a premise that only works if the Korean and Japanese halves carry equal weight. The Remarried Empress has the biggest built-in audience, and four episodes up front is the right call for webtoon readers who already know where it goes. Crash 2 is the one I'd keep an eye on, since ENA has not put its own name to the date. My call: Netflix releases all eight episodes of Blue Road on November 20 rather than weekly. If it goes weekly, I'm wrong.

What to watch next

• A date for Nine to Six. If it lands in November, it becomes the eighth row.
• ENA on Crash 2. An official date would firm up the one premiere here that rests on listings.
• Blue Road's hour. Netflix shows a launch time on a title's page once one is set; until then, 5 p.m. KST is the default, not a promise.
• Length before you commit. Munmu's 28 against Blue Road's eight is the month's spread; how many episodes a K-drama usually has puts both in context.
