IN THE LOOP: 3 New Kdramas to Watch this 3rd Week of November
A new week means new Kdramas to binge-watch this 3rd week of November. While the highly anticipated series like "Now, We Are Breaking Up," starring Song Hye Kyo and Jang Ki Yong, as well as romance series "Melancholia" premiered recently, Kdrama fandom will have another reason to stay home and stream three new series.
With that said, here are three new Kdramas this November that would surely entice the viewers.
'Hellbound' (November 19)
The spine-chilling teasers definitely piqued the interest of viewers alongside its star-studded cast.
Award-winning actor Yoo Ah In will be headlining the cast of "Hellbound" together with Park Jung Min, Kim Hyun Joo and more.
In Netflix's supernatural series, the "#Alive" star plays the cult leader Jung Jin Soo and his emerging religion known as Saejinrihwe - this is amid the chaos caused by a mysterious creature that engulfed Seoul.

In one of his interviews, the 35-year-old actor spoke about his role and described it as someone who gives meaning to the angels' messages and "recommends living righteously" among his followers.
"Typically, this work is done by religious cult leaders, but Jung Jin Soo does not call himself a cult leader. He describes himself as someone who personally researches supernatural phenomenons," he said.
"Hellbound" is based on the webtoon written by Yeon Sang Ho, the PD of the upcoming series.
Yoo Ah In's new drama is slated to debut on November 19 exclusively on Netflix.
'Shadow Beauty' (November 20)
