With several major shows currently on air and networks keeping back some of their series for midsummer, June looks to be a comparatively light month for new Korean dramas.
Yet there is still plenty to choose from, with classic romantic dramas being readied for launch, as well as a con artist thriller and high-school mystery drama.
We preview six of the best K-drama series debuting in June.
1. The Player 2: Master of Swindlers
Lead cast: Song Seung-heon, Lee Si-un
OCN’s hit 2018 series about con artists, The Player, is returning to our screens courtesy of cable channel tvN.
