From anime to newly-dubbed Korean dramas, here are 10 new titles to add to your watch list this month!

The fourth and final installment of “Attack on Titan” is finally here! Adapted from Hajime Isayama’s award-winning manga “Shingeki no Kyojin”, the series revolves around a post-apocalyptic world where gigantic human-eating creatures, A.K.A Titans, roam the land, forcing what’s left of humanity to either seek protection behind walls or fight back.

“L.U.C.A.: The Beginning” is an action thriller about a man named Ji Oh (Kim Rae Won) who possesses special abilities that can change the world.

Lee Son (Kim Sung Oh), a violent crimes detective, is the only person who remembers him. Together, they fend off violent crimes while unravelling the question marks of their past.

“Times” is a time-warping political drama that will have you at the edge of your seats.
