Netflix’s July 2026 K-drama slate brings variety and momentum, with palace horror The East Palace, ghostly rom-com Spooky in Love, and the high-octane Agent Kim Reactivated finale. From lavish historical curses to supernatural cold cases and a brutal revenge thriller, the lineup offers an accessible entry point for newcomers while rewarding longtime fans watching Netflix’s Korean expansion.
Netflix has three Korean dramas locked in for next month, and the lineup actually covers a lot of ground. We're talking palace horror, ghost romance, and a revenge thriller. Something for pretty much everyone who's been eyeing the K-drama shelf and waiting for the right entry point. Here are the new K-drama releases streaming on Netflix in July 2026, including Spooky in Love, the East Palace, and Agent Kim Reactivated Finale. The stars appearing in these K-dramas include Nam Joo Hyuk, Park Eun Bin, So Ji Sub, and more.
More shows will probably get announced closer to the month. That's just how Netflix rolls. But here's what's confirmed right now.
This one might be the biggest Korean release of the summer. Maybe. It's hard to say without seeing it, but the premise has a lot going for it.
Nam Joo Hyuk plays a man named Gu-cheon who can literally walk between the world of the living and the dead. His co-star Roh Yoon Seo plays Saeng-gang, a court lady sitting on some kind of dangerous secret she can't tell anyone about. The King calls both of them in to investigate a royal palace that's been cursed, and whatever is hiding inside that palace sounds like it's bad enough to scare even the people sent to deal with it. Cho Seung Woo is also in the cast, which is always a good sign.
The production looks lavish. Historical settings, supernatural lore baked into the plot from the start rather than sprinkled in later. If this lands well it could genuinely carry the whole month.
Park Eun Bin did not waste any time coming back. Spooky in Love hits the platform July 18 with new episodes every Saturday and Sunday, which is the ideal setup for a weekend binge if the first few episodes hook you.
She plays a hotel heiress who sees ghosts. Not metaphorically. Actual ghosts. Her unlikely partner is a prosecutor who's been working cold cases that nobody else wants to touch, and the two of them end up tangled together investigating murders with a supernatural edge. There's romance in there too, and some comedy, and the tonal balance sounds like it was designed specifically to pull in viewers who wouldn't normally go near a straight horror show.
Worth watching, especially if you've followed Park Eun Bin's recent work and want more of what she's been doing.
This one's already running. New episodes come out every Friday and Saturday, and the finale lands on July 25, so if you're thinking about starting it you still have time to catch up before it ends.
So Ji Sub plays a former black-ops agent who walked away from all of it to raise his daughter alone. Then someone takes her. And he goes back to being the person he was trying not to be anymore. It's that kind of story. Brutal, personal, fast. The action sequences reportedly don't slow down, which tracks given the premise. If revenge thrillers with a spy background are your thing, this should hit the spot.
Keep checking Netflix's upcoming section through July. The schedule tends to fill in as the month gets closer, and there's a decent chance more Korean titles get added before it's all said and done.
