Where To Watch New K-Dramas With English Subtitles In HD Quality The Same Time They Air In Korea

Having to wait for your favourite Korean dramas to be subbed a day or two later is annoying, especially when the previous episode ended on a cliffhanger! You also risk seeing spoilers on social media while waiting for the subtitles, as the episodes would have already aired in Korea.

But what if we told you there's no need to worry about that anymore?

There are two new K-dramas that can be watched on www.iQ.com or on the go using a mobile app that is free to download, with English subtitles and in HD quality at the same time as they air in Korea.

Sounds too good to be true? Well, it's not!

Read on to find out more!

Currently, the two new hottest K-dramas are Hush and Royal Secret Agent. As both dramas star K-pop big names as their leads, viewers have been anticipating seeing their idols on screen showcasing their acting chops.

Here's why you need to add Hush and Royal Secret Agent to your watchlist:

Girls' Generation's Yoona leads the show together with veteran movie actor, Hwang Jung Min, in Hush. The workplace drama focuses on the lives of newspaper reporters, their everyday ups and downs, and ethical dilemmas.

Han Jun Hyeok (Hwang Jung Min) is a seasoned reporter who first became one to pursue justice, but is now conflicted between choosing idealism or pragmatism. He also deals with personal family issues as a husband and father. Lee Ji Soo (Yoona) is a daring intern reporter who isn't afraid to speak her mind, even during a job interview. She meets Han Jun Hyeok as her mentor and begins to dream of becoming a true journalist.

Things to look out for in Hush:

• Veteran movie actor Hwang Jung-min's return to the small screen after eight years and his superb acting skills.
• Yoona's upgraded acting skills in her drama return after three years as a passionate and bold intern reporter.
• A newsroom drama with comedic effects featuring two very different characters: one is a passionate yet relatively naive intern with a strong sense of justice VS a legendary 'trash' reporter who was taught not to weight work over food. 
• The chemistry and interactions between the two main leads.

Royal Secret Agent stars Infinite's Kim Myung Soo or L as fans would know him to be, Hello Venus' Kwon Nara, and actor Lee Yi Kyung. This period drama is a breath of fresh air among all the modern dramas aired in 2020 and mixes both comedy and mystery together to give viewers a fun ride!

Sung Yi Gyeom (Kim Myung Soo) placed first in the state examination and now works at Hongmungwan, the Administrative and Research Department. But, he lives his life without any goals or ambitions. One day, he gets caught gambling and is assigned to work as a Secret Royal Inspector as a punishment where he has to eliminate crimes and corruption. He carries out his new job with the help of Hong Da In (Kwon Nara) and Park Chun Sam (Lee Yi Kyung).
