In two months, we are about to wrap up the year with much-awaited Kdramas from Hallyu queens such as Jun Ji Hyun, Lee Young Ae, Song Hye Kyo, and more. 

To recall, the Kdrama fandom is entertained by remarkable series released in September like "Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha" to the heart-stopping and mind-boggling Netflix series "Squid Game."

However, the fun never stops as the broadcast networks have slated several promising shows this month. 

With that said, mark your calendars as we give you a rundown of new Korean dramas that you should not miss this first week of October 2021.

Helmed by "Love on Rooftop" director Choi Ji Yeong, the upcoming KBS melodrama highlights the story of Seo Cho Hee, played by Han Da Gam, and her dream to have a fancy lifestyle in the heart of Gangnam. 

In her journey, she realizes that having a fancy house will not complete the family's happiness, but instead, it's the people creating it that make it feel like a home. 

Apart from the "Cinderella Man" actress, "The All-Round Wife" cast includes Shim Ji Ho, Hang Sang Jin, and more. 

Han Da Gam's new drama is set to release on October 4, airing every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. KST on KBS.

Kakao TV introduces the upcoming fantasy romance Kdrama "Jinx," starring SF9's Chani and WJSN's Eunseo. 

The 21-year-old star, whose real name is Kang Chan Hee, takes on the character of Kyu Han, a student who is surrounded by an unlucky jinx. 

Interestingly, the curse starts every time he sneezes. 

Despite his unpredictable bad luck, he still pursued his feelings towards Se Kyung, played by Eunseo, and never lost his perseverance and sincerity. 

Fans would get to see SF9's Chani and WJSN's Eunseo's new drama on its pilot episode on October 9 at 7 p.m. KST and will be the latest Wednesday and Saturday drama. 

'Peng'

Based on the web drama of the same name and helmed by "Just One Bite" PD Baek Min Hee, "Peng" follows the story of Go Sa Ri, played by Yoon So Hee, who is nearing her 30s. 

Unlike the women her age who are now starting a family or focusing on their career, Go Sa Ri is caught up in a complicated relationship. 

It came after four men, including her best friend, ex-boyfriend, boss, and a stunning model, were battling out to win her heart.

Set to premiere on October 7 every Thursday and Fridays at 7 p.m. KST, "Peng" cast includes Choi Won Myeong, Joo Woo Jae, Lee Seung, Kim Hyun Jin, and more.
