Mr. Plankton
(Korean Title: Mr. 플랑크톤)
Premiere Date: November 8
Here’s the romantic comedy that will tickle and pinch at the same time. You’re gonna laugh your heart out, and you’re going to drown in tears too. I restocked my supplies of tissues, you should get that done too. Even though they’re calling it a comedy, my experience with top Korean dramas suggests otherwise.
Let me tell you why.
Hae Jo (Woo Do Hwan), a man drifting through life, and Jae Mi (Lee Yoo Mi), who seems to carry a bit of bad luck with her end up finding each other. The worst part about Hae Jo’s life is, he doesn’t know who his father is.
Even his name ‘Hae-Jo’ means (do-it!), became his name because he was an errand boy since his childhood. Do you see what I am saying? And by the way, it has Oh Jung-se too, the guy always makes me cry with whatever he works in. So, trust me on this, it won’t just be comedy, but it will be absolutely beautiful!
The Fiery Priest 2

The Trunk
(Korean Title: 트렁크)
Premiere Date: November 29
It has Hyun Bin, I guess that is enough for me to look forward to the drama. But if you still need more reasons, The Trunk’s plot might do that. Ever heard of contract marriages with an ironic twist?
The Trunk is where Seo Hyun Jin’s Noh In Ji, who’s in the business of setting up such marriages, finds herself in a complex situation with Gong Yoo’s Han Jeong Won. They both walk into a “marriage” for different reasons but end up exploring the deeper meaning of connection and loneliness.
With all episodes dropping on Netflix on November 29, this remains among the binge-worthy Korean dramas in November 2024 deserving a place in your “must-watch” list.
