Thanks to all!~ You were very helpful
- Pointing out that most of January and February dramas do not have dates or some of them are very uncertain, so dramas that do not have dates, may have them here in MDL but I tried looking around on Korean sites, and they did not have. So, I decided to leave it as just January or February.
- I did not want to include March dramas (for obvious reason) and/or the ones that may premiere in 'First Half of 2020'.
- Promoting The King: The Eternal Monarch here, because I am so sad it's not coming out in the first two months of next year! <sad emoji here> I really hope it is March!
- If I forgot something... please, don't be mad~ I may have missed one drama or two (or three!)! I am just a human! Also, I did not want to add dramas that will air through December/January (premiered in November) because this article only concerns premieres and dramas that will premiere from December to end of February, that do have dates, tentative dates or some kind of info that they are premiering during these three months!
What dramas from this list interests you the most?
What are your expectations for dramas that are to come in 2020?
Until my next article about 'Winter' Thai Dramas~
Take care all and Happy Holidays!
