Seriously — over 20 webtoons are getting adapted into K-dramas this year. So yes, 2026 is a real hunt for every fan out there.

🏆 Honorable Mentions (2027 & Beyond) 

Literally, I was so happy for All of us are dead in 2026, but damn, we have to wait longer.

1. Solo Leveling (Netflix): Already discussed our hottie Byeon Woo-seok as Jinwoo, never disappoints.
   
2. All of Us Are Dead Season 2 (Netflix): Expected in 2027 with the original cast, and more thriller. I believe Cheong-San Alive.🫠

If you like action, start with Bloodhounds ( I have to wait because my sister has exams, and she wants to watch it with me). Crap. If Fantasy Remarried Empress never disappoints.  Psychological, Go for the Mousetrap.
