ENA is gearing up for a powerful year in 2026 with a carefully curated drama lineup that leans into romance, youth, and emotionally driven storytelling. The network has officially confirmed three new series that blend romantic comedy, slice-of-life emotions, and relatable character journeys—making 2026 a promising year for K-drama fans.
From a webtoon-based medical rom-com to nostalgic second-chance love and a fresh campus romance, ENA’s upcoming titles highlight strong casting choices and stories designed to resonate with a wide audience.
Doctor on the Edge
- Genre: Medical Romantic Comedy
- Starring: Lee Jae-wook, Shin Ye-eun
- Episodes: 12
- Release: 2026
This drama tells the story of a skilled doctor who finds himself exiled to a remote island hospital—far from the life he envisioned. There, he meets a nurse whose calm strength contrasts with his frustration and ambition. As they treat eccentric patients and face emotional challenges together, unexpected romance begins to bloom.
Adapted from a popular webtoon, Doctor on the Edge combines heartfelt moments with humor, offering a refreshing take on the medical drama genre.
Dream to You
- Genre: Romantic Drama
- Starring: Hwang In-yeop, Lee Hyeri
- Release: Early 2026
A touching story about lost dreams and rediscovered love, Dream to You follows two childhood friends who once dreamed of creating films together. Years later, life reunites them—one now a successful director, the other a reporter who gave up her artistic ambitions.
As old feelings resurface, the drama explores regret, growth, and the courage it takes to chase dreams again. With its emotional depth and nostalgic tone, this series is expected to resonate strongly with viewers who love slow-burn romance.
Love Expert
- Genre: Youth Romance / Campus Life
- Starring: Choo Young-woo, Kim So-hyun
- Release: 2026
Set on a college campus, Love Expert centers on young adults navigating first love, self-identity, and emotional growth. A former athlete turned engineering student crosses paths with a fashion design major who is quietly redefining her future.
Through awkward confessions, emotional misunderstandings, and personal breakthroughs, the drama paints an honest picture of modern youth romance. With Kim So-hyun leading the cast, expectations are high for a heartfelt and memorable series.
Why ENA’s 2026 Lineup Stands Out
ENA’s upcoming dramas clearly reflect a strategic focus on:
- Character-driven romance
- Webtoon adaptations with strong fanbases
- Youthful and nostalgic storytelling
- High-chemistry casting choices
Rather than relying on heavy thrillers or dark themes, ENA is embracing warmth, emotional realism, and stories that feel comforting yet engaging—perfect for binge-watching.
What to Expect Next
While exact premiere dates are still under wraps, all three dramas are confirmed for 2026 broadcast. Teasers, trailers, and additional casting updates are expected to be revealed closer to release.
If ENA continues this momentum, 2026 could mark one of its strongest years yet in original K-drama storytelling.
