From Cha Eun Woo-led A Good Day To Be A Dog to Bae Suzy starrer Doona – 8 K-dramas to watch in October 2023

Image
From a shape-shifting lead to a fantasy time travel, to even a morally gray character, the month of October 2023 has a delightful treat of K-dramas to choose from! Park Eun Bin returns to the small screen after the success of Extraordinary Attorney Woo. Bae Suzy is also back once again. There is a considerable rise in K-dramas adapted from webtoons and we also see a slight nostalgia with Strong Girl Nam Soon . Let’s take a look at the upcoming K-dramas releasing in October 2023. 1. STRONG GIRL NAM SOON Nod if you miss BongBong and MinMin! Back in 2017, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon gave us a treasure trove of cuteness, silliness and butterflies in the stomach romance. Now, in 2023 there is a new story in the same vein to delight us! Strong Girl Nam Soon is a spinoff based on Strong Woman Do Bong Soon.

Dunki vs Salaar: Karan Johar changes the release date of Sidharth Malhotra-starrer Yodha out of respect for Shah Rukh Khan, Prabhas

Earlier this week, the industry was left stunned as the makers of  Salaar  decided to release the Prabhas-starrer on December 22 and thereby clash with Shah Rukh Khan’s highly awaited film,  Dunki . The action flick was initially scheduled to release on September 28. Now that it got pushed to the Christmas week, it has had an effect on the other releases of the month as well. Bollywood Hungama  has learned that  Yodha , which is scheduled to release on December 15, will move to another date. A source told  Bollywood Hungama , “ Yodha  is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. Karan realized that it’ll be difficult for  Yodha  to retain screens in the second week once  Dunki  and  Salaar  arrive in cinemas. Moreover, it’ll become challenging even for  Dunki  and  Salaar ’s distributors since theatres would not want to lose out on  Yodha , especially if it does well.” The source continued, “Karan Johar has a long association with Shah Rukh Khan, which is well known. Also, he’s
