Top 12 K-Drama Viewers Can Expect This November 2026
The Remarried Empress
First up, we have The Remarried Empress, a manhwa turning into a 10-episode drama coming this November. The series follows Empress Navier, who upholds an aura of righteousness and elegance. A royal like her seems to have everything one dreams of, but love is something the empress yearns for. A husband and her kingdom cherish her, but soon this bliss turns into a blister. The emperor, who shares the empress's goal—to keep the kingdom happy and prosperous—brings a mistress who happens to be a slave.
This shocks the empress, but instead of divorcing and ending things, she demands to marry the prince of the Western province in exchange for her dignity. Starring Shin Min Ah as the Empress, the series is releasing on November 4, 2026, on Disney+. The first 4 episodes will be dropped on the same day.
Francesca Next Door
A mini-series hitting on Wavve is Francesca Next Door, which is set to release on November 6, 2026. A spinoff of the 2005 series Hello Francesca opens to a fantasy love romance of a teen vampire who despises humans. She transfers into a human high school only to find a human, which makes her feel a bit strange. This strangeness causes her heart to beat and butterflies in her stomach. She has a gothic aura and at times is treated like a weirdo, but she is intolerant of being bullied or being messed around with. Can a vampire and human share a passionate love?
To know the answer, watch the 4-episode series airing this Friday.
