10 New K-Dramas to Watch This July 2026 (With Trailers)

July's a big month if you watch K-dramas. Ten new shows, and they're all over the place: thrillers, a couple of ghost stories, some romance, and a full-on action sequel. Here's the lineup, with a trailer for each.

1. The Husband (July 4) — Namkoong Min plays a man in the middle of a divorce who gets framed as a fugitive after his wife is kidnapped. Tense stuff, on KBS2 and Disney+.

2. Love in Sync (July 4) — A counselor and an actress who can't feel emotions end up tangled in each other's heads; it leans psychological more than sweet. Kim Myung-soo (L) and Kang Min-ah lead. On Viu.

3. Family Register (July 6) — Three women trying to heal old family wounds and work out what family even means to them. (No trailer yet at writing; link goes to the drama page.)
