In a bid to draw in more viewers, Channel K has launched a limited-time campaign which allows audiences to catch the first two episodes of select K-dramas and variety shows for free, sans sign-up or subscription, for one month.

This widens the field for the Hallyu enthusiast, who can already pick from Netflix titles such as Squid Games and It’s Okay To Be Not Okay, and those available on both Prime Video and Disney’s Hotstar (some with Hindi dubbing).
