Six Korean romance series will be coming to Netflix this year.  Korean romance dramas have grown in popularity. From 2018 to 2022, global viewership of Netflix’s K-Romance titles tripled. In 2022, more than 90 percent of viewing came from outside South Korea. (Photos courtesy of Netflix)
“We’re genuinely humbled by how our emotive Korean shows have found a home in the hearts of global audiences through Netflix, stretching from the US, Europe, South America, and beyond,” said Don Kang, vice president of Content (Korea).  He added, “Our stories touch on the universal aspects of life - love, heartbreak, and tenderness, while also providing a peek into the unique facets of Korean culture. Netflix's commitment to forging this profound global connection is something we're truly excited about.”  Wooyeon Yang, director of Content (Korea), said that “creators have dedicated themselves to painting the delicate dynamics and evolving emotions of our characters.” She said that Netflix’s investment in subtitling and dubbing has been instrumental in the growth of K-Romance audiences.  “The impact has been more profound than we ever imagined. Despite the diversity of languages, the common thread of understanding and accessing Korean content seems to be a key strength that has set Netflix as a trendsetter,” she said. Here are the upcoming Korean romance series coming to Netflix in the second half of 2023:
