6. All of Us Are Dead
A group of high schoolers becomes trapped in their school when the zombie apocalypse suddenly hits. They must work together to stay alive and get out of the school.

Zombies have quickly taken over Korean cinema, as well as webtoon adaptations, so why not combine them? Some new fans are questioning if it will be similar to the popular anime School-Live!
7. So Not Worth It

With a seemingly Itaewon Class vibe and diverse cast, fans are gearing up to be wowed by this multicultural spectacle. Not to mention the excitement of seeing GOT7‘s Youngjae as the Australian, Sam, (G)-IDLE Minnie‘s debut as the Thai student Minnie, and the famous African-Korean model Han Hyun Min in his second main role to date.
8. Annarasumanara

9. Hellbound
When citizens can see predictions of their own deaths, they are fated to be taken to hell by angels of death. Some believe the angels were sent by God, while others dig deep to find the truth.
With the recent love of creature dramas such as Sweet Home and The Schoool Nurse Files, it’s no surprise that Hellbound is getting an adaptation. Not only are fans excited simply because of its plot alone, but because it is also being directed by the director of Train to Busan and Psychokinesis, Yeon Sang Ho (who also wrote the webtoon). We can expect a brilliant performance by Yoo Ah In and Kim Hyun Soo!
10. Undercover
In order to find the truth about her criminal father’s death, Choi Yeon Soo (Kim Hyun Joo) infiltrates the Police.
Often in law/police dramas, we see cops infiltrating crime rings, never the other way around. This interesting twist is causing a lot of excitement.

This show is about people who decide to become the players of a mysterious survival game that has a $40 million prize. Gi Hun, (Lee Jung Jae), decides to join the game after he is fired from his job.

Riding along with creature and zombie dramas popularity are survival game dramas. This drama has been talked about since September 2019 and has not yet been confirmed for a date, but many speculate it will finally be coming this year.
12. Move to Heaven
A man with Asperger syndrome works for his father’s business “Move To Heaven.” Their job is to arrange/discard items left by deceased people. One day, his own father dies.

This drama is a unique change of pace as most are not as somber or heart-felt, nor discuss this kind of work. Inspired by a non-fiction essay, viewers are expected to be hit with many emotions.
