November 2026 is shaping up to be a stacked month for K-drama fans, with Remarried Empress and Good Partner 2 leading a slate that spans fantasy romance, legal drama, crime thrillers and historical action across Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Viu and more. Whether you love sweeping period romance or a sharp office drama, there is something new to add to the watchlist.
Remarried Empress leads the November 2026 K-drama lineup
The headline fantasy romance is based on a popular webtoon of the same name. It follows a divorced empress whose marriage collapses when her husband demands a divorce after an affair with his mistress, only for the empress to turn the tables by marrying the king of a neighbouring kingdom — and keeping her title. Spanning 10 episodes, the series will be available on Hulu and Disney+.
Also on the legal-drama front, the follow-up to the hit divorce-lawyer drama arrives in the form of Good Partner 2, while a separate 12-episode office and legal drama follows a renowned attorney known as the “Nation’s Divorce Lawyer” as she strikes out on her own and builds a new law firm from scratch. That one streams on Viu, and it pairs neatly with the returning favourite for viewers who like their courtroom battles with a side of workplace chemistry.
More November 2026 K-dramas: comedy, crime and historical action
Comedy fans get a slice-of-life series about three aspiring comedians chasing their dreams through setbacks and small victories, adapted from a Japanese drama of the same title. The 12-episode series premieres on tvN on November 6. A romantic comedy about an ordinary job seeker who unexpectedly becomes the manager of a famous actor dealing with psychological trauma is also on the way, premiering on TVING with international streaming expected on Viu and Abema.
For something darker, a Korean-Japanese crime drama pairs detectives from Seoul and Tokyo to hunt a serial killer whose murders span both countries. Adapted from Keishi Edogawa’s 2022 manhwa Blue Road, it will air on Netflix. Another romantic drama follows an entertainment company CEO living with PTSD who searches for the indie band singer whose voice carried him through his darkest moments; it is based on a web novel and will air on MBN.
History buffs are covered too, with a historical action drama depicting warfare and political upheaval among the Three Kingdoms — Silla, Goguryeo and Baekje — as well as the Tang dynasty, premiering on KBS2. And the action-comedy series Crash returns, following the Traffic Crime Investigation team as they chase dangerous offenders on the road, streaming on Disney+.
Rounding out the month is an office romance on SBS, in which a work-focused deputy manager finds her professional life upended by a connection with a younger intern in the company’s legal department. With premieres spread across the month and platforms, November looks like one of the strongest K-drama months of the year.
