We’re a day away from a new month and we’re so excited for all the new releases slated to come out this June. More specifically, the release of new K-Dramas. As always, we’d like to be your guide and share some of the best K-Dramas coming to the streamer in the upcoming month.

Although fans were happy to see more Korean content on the streamer, they had hoped for the release of more than just two series. Fortunately, fans had returning weekly K-Dramas to look forward to throughout the month like Tomorrow, Green Mother’s Club, My Liberation Notes and Our Blues. So they weren’t necessarily short of new content.

Luckily, there seem to be more options for June. Continue reading to find out some of the best K-Dramas scheduled to arrive on the streamer in June!
