It’s the last month of 2024, and we finally have the much-awaited K-drama coming our way in December—yes, it’s season 2 of Squid Game. Although this is the highlight drama for December, there are quite a few other great ones as well. Among them, The Starry Night looks like a promising drama with a fresh story line. I haven’t really seen this trope in any drama so far, and I have a feeling it’s going to be good. There are also two short dramas and one long drama airing. And if that’s not enough for you, we also have a weekly Netflix drama coming soon.
