t's hard to imagine our life before Netflix isn't it? Binging our favourite dramas and movies has never been easier.

If anything, it's become the main channel for most of us to get our K-drama fix.

Without further ado, here are the dramas you can look forward to in 2020 to be made available on Netflix for your viewing pleasure.

Han So-Yeon, a 30-year-old assistant manager with an attitude problem. Her life is lacklustre until one day she finds herself in possession of a state-of-the-art AI hologram device, that allows her to see Holo (short for Hologram).

The lines between technology and reality blur as both Holo and So-Yeon start to grow attached to each other.

It gets complicated when Go Nan-Do, the creator of Holo and who it was based on, moves in next door to her. And she can't seem to tell apart the real man and his hologram.

How will this love triangle turn out?

Now available on Netflix.

ITAEWON CLASS

Park SaeRoyi is many things, but he isn't a quitter. His journey hasn't been an easy one. His childhood isn't pretty but if anyone can emerge from that successful and determined, it's him.

Much of it (okay, all) of his misery is caused by the top food chain company in Korea, Jangga Co. The Chairman and his son are set on making sure SaeRoyi will never succeed on his plans: taking revenge on Jangga Co. and bringing them to justice.

I can promise you that after the first episode, you'll be hooked. SaeRoyi's unfailing righteousness and bravery, not to mention his loyalty to his people will have you rooting for him at every step.

His own ragtag staff at his own bar, Danbam, will make you wish you could fight alongside them as well. Watch as they fight for their freedom without compromising their values, on their own terms.

Itaewon Class also isn't shying away from important issues we face in society today. Intrigued? Log on to Netflix and watch it for yourself.

Now available on Netflix, new episode every Friday and Saturday.

HYENA

There are two kinds of lawyers, the morally upright and those that will do anything to win. Meet Jung Geum-Ja, she's the latter. Using every possible trick up her sleeve, she will stop at nothing until she gets what she wants.

Yoon Hee-Jae, born into the elites, is a world-class lawyer. He couldn't be any more different from Geum-Ja, save for the fact that they become animals when fighting for their clients' cases.

In a tangle of morals and dirty tricks, nothing is black and white in this show. You'll be at the edge of your seat and I won't be surprised if you're yelling in outrage at the injustice of their court behaviour.

What are you waiting for?

Now available on Netflix, new episodes every week.

KINGDOM SEASON 2

Adapted from the webcomic series The Kingdom of the Gods, Kingdom is a political period drama released in 2019.

From the first season filled with the mysterious plague that has resulted in thousands to become zombie-like monsters that eat humans, fans already know that the real beasts are those vying for the throne.

Using the plague as a means to gain political power, the series is riddled with scenes of horror and disbelief. Not only is the plot riveting, but the filming and production of the Netflix series will have you wondering if it isn't a top-grade blockbuster movie.

Now it's coming back in 2020 and Crown Prince Lee Chang continues his fight to save his Kingdom from humans and zombies alike.

Now available on Netflix.

Single mother and film producer, No Ae Jung has been by herself for fourteen years. Just when it looks like there isn't any more hope for love, four men are suddenly thrown into her life.

Each different and unique in their own way, No Ae Jung must navigate what she thinks she needs and what her heart truly wants.

But there's no doubt that she has the pick of the lot - a notorious bad boy she can't say no to, a rich suitor with some baggage himself, a cunning but attractive bachelor and a young, sweet naive boy.

Love knows no boundaries - even age. It's cute, funny and inspiring. Update your calendars and clear your schedule, this one's worthy of a binge I bet.

Coming to Netflix in July 2020, the exact date of release not confirmed.

The fans have spoken and the sequel to Dr. Romantic (duh) released in 2016 is coming to Netflix!

I don't want to drop any spoilers, so here's a tease.

Three years have passed since the first season ended, Kim Sa-bu goes to Geosan University Hospital in hopes of recruiting a capable general surgeon. There, he finds Seo Woo-jin, a doctor so troubled by his past that even his colleagues don't speak to him.

You'll find the plot to be as good as the first, with the character's you have come to love so much.

Just like how the hospital operates non-stop, thus drama will not rest till it has you biting your nails and screaming in exasperation.

Coming to Netflix soon, official release date not confirmed.
