It’s been a busy 2021 on Netflix for K-Dramas so far, but April is currently scheduled to be a much quieter month. That doesn’t mean fans can’t look forward to watching some excellent returning weekly K-Dramas or an exciting new crime-thriller debuting towards the start of the month. Here are the new K-Dramas on Netflix in April 2021.

Only recently announced to be coming to Netflix, Law School is currently the only new weekly K-Drama arriving in April. The story of Law School sounds eerily reminiscent of ABC’s crime-drama How to Get Away With Murder.

Hello, Me! arguably deserves a higher rating than its 5.1%, but perhaps its Wednesday and Thursday time slot are to blame! Regardless of the ratings, like the rest of the K-Dramas on the list, fans from across the world have tuned in in their droves to watch Choi Kang Hee in action.
Thirty-seven-year-old Ban Ha Ni holds a temporary position at her work and worries that she will someday get fired. She hopes that one day she can find a husband, but her servile and timid attitude allows people to walk all over her.
