If you have a Netflix account (or are still getting away with sharing one), odds are you watched a Korean TV show in 2023. Last year was the year of abundance with Netflix's Korean scripted and unscripted slates, from acclaimed hits like The Glory, Physical: 100, Bloodhounds, and The Devil's Plan, to beloved returning shows like D.P., Sweet Home, and Single's Inferno. Per Deadline's analysis of the streaming giant's viewing data from the first half of 2023, South Korean shows accounted for a combined 3.71 billion hours watched among the top 100 titles on Netflix during that time frame. In short, Squid Game was just the start of Korean entertainment's dominance on the platform.
Netflix has already released a handful of can't-miss shows in 2024, and even more are on the way, from highly-anticipated new romantic series and Korean thrillers to continuing seasons of several hit reality competitions and action epics (including, finally, Squid Game season 2!). Read on to learn about the packed lineup for Korean TV shows on Netflix in 2024. (Once you build your watch list, check out our guide to the all-time best Korean dramas on Netflix.)
