13 New Korean Dramas to Keep An Eye On in March 2020

You know what, I think Crash Landing on You actually ended at the right time. Because now, I can look forward to the upcoming new Korean dramas in March 2020 instead of being forlorn and missing CLOY too much.
I mean, it’s not like I’m not already repeating Crash Landing on You’s soundtrack day and night, on top of binge-watching all the interviews of the actors and actresses that I could find. I know I know, what can I say. Desperate times call for desperate measures. However, with the brand new month on the horizon, it gives me hope that there might just be a kdrama out there that could distract me enough so I could finally move on from Crash Landing on You and its amazing casts.
Here’s to hoping!
