5 New K-dramas you can catch on Netflix for June 2021

If you miss romantic Korean dramas, you’re in luck because love is in the air this month. Netflix is releasing five K-dramas filled with different types of love stories that will make your heart flutter. From innocent romances to love triangles to marriage dramas, you’ll be left wanting more!

Nevertheless

When: Beginning June 20, new episodes every Saturday and Sunday

Who’s behind it: Director Kim Ga-Ram and Jung Seo (writer of the webtoon)

What is it about: Based on a popular webtoon of the same name, Nevertheless will set your heart on fire with its flirty romance. Set on a university campus, the story follows two art students with different perspectives on love. Park Jae-Eon (Song Kang) seems nice to everyone and tends to flirt with women. However, he has no interest in being in an exclusive romantic relationship—until he met Yoo Na-Bi (Han So-Hee). Similarly, Na-Bi doesn’t believe in love after her first love cheated on her. Of course, fate has different ideas for the two as they can’t help but feel drawn to one another.

Jang Hyeok (Jang Ki-yong) and Jung Da-eun (Chae Soo-bin) have been in a loving relationship until Jang Hyeok had to move due to a new job opportunity. The distance takes a toll on the relationship, especially when what was originally a workplace competition with his new colleague Han Bo-yeong (Jung Soo-jung/Krystal) turns into a mild attraction. In this love triangle, all three characters are introduced to the various sweet and sour facets of love.
