New K-Drama Releases In July 2026

Love in Sync Release Date July 4 (Disney+)

Kim Myung Soo and Kang Min Ah star as two strangers in this K-drama whose lives collide in the strangest way possible: they start feeling each other's emotions without any explanation for why. What begins as confusing and a little unsettling slowly turns into something gentler, as the two of them use the connection to work through things they couldn't face alone. It's less about the fantasy premise and more about what happens when two people are forced to understand each other from the inside out.

Spooky Love Release Date July 18 (Netflix)

This K-drama as been loosely inspired by the well loved film Spellbound, this supernatural romance pairs a hotel CEO who's been seeing ghosts for as long as he can remember with a prosecutor who is fearless in every courtroom and terrified of literally anything paranormal. The mismatch is the whole point, and it sets up a relationship that's as much about the two of them adjusting to each other as it is about whatever is haunting the hotel.

The East Palace Release Date July 17 (Netflix)

Nam Joo Hyuk makes his return after completing military service with a project that couldn't be further from anything lighthearted. Set inside a haunted royal palace, the story mixes vengeful spirits, court conspiracies and curses old enough to threaten the entire kingdom. This K-drama is a dark fantasy in the fullest sense, built on the idea that the past doesn't stay buried just because everyone agreed to pretend it did.

The Husband Release Date July 4 (Disney+)

Namkoong Min plays a hospital director whose life unravels the moment his estranged wife vanishes, just as the two of them were finalizing a divorce. The timing alone makes him the obvious suspect, and Lee Seol's character isn't the type to let that slide. What follows is a slow unspooling of secrets that suggests neither side of this marriage was as straightforward as it looked from the outside.

Family Register Release Date July 6 (Wavve)

In this list of K-drama releases, Family Register hits deep. It trades thrills for something quieter and heavier. It follows an aspiring animation writer who gets pulled into difficult questions about identity, parenthood and the kind of prejudice that doesn't always announce itself loudly. Across a family stretched thin over generations, old wounds resurface in ways that feel less like plot twists and more like things that were always going to come out eventually.

The Apartment Job Release Date July 11 (Netflix)

Ji Sung leads this comedy-thriller as a former gang leader whose search for a stash of missing billions leads him straight into the middle of a luxury apartment complex. What starts as a personal mission turns into something closer to community organizing, as he ends up defending the very residents he was supposed to be using, against the kind of quiet corruption that tends to hide behind polished lobbies and homeowners' meetings.

Dream to You Release Date July 13 (Viki, Viu)

Two childhood friends reconnect fifteen years after drifting apart in this K-drama, and the reunion comes with a confession neither of them saw coming: the now internationally acclaimed filmmaker has spent his entire career making movies inspired by her. It's a premise that could easily tip into melodrama, but at its core Dream to You is a fairly simple story about someone who never stopped thinking about a person from their past.

A Shop for Killers Season 2 Release Date July 22 (Disney+)

Lee Dong Wook and Kim Hye Jun return for a second round in this K-drama, and this time with the underground empire introduced in the first season closing in on them both. Fans of the original will already know this isn't a franchise interested in easing viewers in gently. And that means A Shop for Killers Season 2 is picking up right where the thrils and danger left off.

Love on the Menu Release Date July 25 (Netflix)

In this K-drama, 8 years after their relationship fell apart, two former lovers who now run competing food businesses are handed an unexpected reason to work together again. Old feelings resurface almost immediately, and what unfolds is less a fresh romance than an attempt to finish something the two of them never actually got to finish the first time around. Will they manage it? Just watch Love on the Menu and find out.

A Bona Fide Killer Release Date July (Platform TBA)

Gong Hyo Jin stars as a woman living two completely separate lives, one as an unremarkable office worker and the other as a legendary assassin nobody would ever suspect her of being. The catch is that her husband happens to be an investigative journalist, the exact kind of person trained to notice when something doesn't add up. Keeping her secret from someone whose entire job is uncovering secrets might end up being harder than any actual assignment.

Between the ghosts, the courtrooms and the long overdue reunions, July is shaping up to be one of those months where the hardest part isn't finding something to watch, it's deciding which K-drama to watch first.
