In two months, we are about to wrap up the year with much-awaited Kdramas from Hallyu queens such as Jun Ji Hyun, Lee Young Ae, Song Hye Kyo, and more.
To recall, the Kdrama fandom is entertained by remarkable series released in September like "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" to the heart-stopping and mind-boggling Netflix series "Squid Game."
However, the fun never stops as the broadcast networks have slated several promising shows this month.
With that said, mark your calendars as we give you a rundown of new Korean dramas that you should not miss this first week of October 2021.
'The All-Round Wife'

Helmed by "Love on Rooftop" director Choi Ji Yeong, the upcoming KBS melodrama highlights the story of Seo Cho Hee, played by Han Da Gam, and her dream to have a fancy lifestyle in the heart of Gangnam.
In her journey, she realizes that having a fancy house will not complete the family's happiness, but instead, it's the people creating it that make it feel like a home.
Apart from the "Cinderella Man" actress, "The All-Round Wife" cast includes Shim Ji Ho, Hang Sang Jin, and more.
Han Da Gam's new drama is set to release on October 4, airing every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. KST on KBS.
