hoolah | 6 New Shows & Films To Catch On Netflix in June 2021

We are barely half-way into the year, and already Netflix is dishing out even more binge-worthy dramas and films to catch. From a brand-new South Korean romantic feature film to the return of the much-anticipated Lupin: Part 2, we guarantee that you will be wholly entertained by Netflix’s eclectic selection of films during the summer holidays.

Sweet & Sour

Starring Jang Ki-Yong, Chae Soo-Bin and Krystal Jung, “Sweet & Sour” is a South Korean Netflix Original romantic-drama movie. This would be the fourth South Korean original film released within the first half of 2021. The film revolves around lovers, Jang Hyeok (portrayed by Jang Ki-Yong) and Da-Eun (portrayed by Chae Soo Bin), engaged in a long-distance relationship. Faced with real-world opportunities and challenges, the two struggles to make the relationship work. As seen in the trailer, Krystal portrays Jang Hyeok’s work rival Bo Yeong who eventually becomes increasingly flirty around Jang Hyeok.

Sweet & Sour will be available on Netflix on 4 June 2021.

Lupin: Part 2

Fans of the French heist drama, rejoice! “Lupin” returns for a second season this June, and we are most definitely excited! Assane Diop (portrayed by Omar Sy) returns with a vengeance. With his eyes set on revealing the crimes of the series’ villain Hubert Pellegrini (portrayed by Hervé Pierre), he races against time to rescue his son, who has been kidnapped, while evading authorities and Pellegrini’s men.

Lupin: Part 2 will be available on Netflix on 11 June 2021.

Nevertheless

Based on the South Korean webtoon series of the same name, “Nevertheless” shows promise to be a heartfelt, romantic high-school drama. It features princely actor Song Kang and “The World of the Married”’s Han So-Hee as the leads in the series. Here, two university art students begin developing feelings for each other despite not wanting a romantic relationship.

Nevertheless will be available on Netflix on 20 June 2021.

Too Hot to Handle: Season 2

Last year, with quarantine and social isolation being the norm, the dating reality TV show “Too Hot to Handle: Season One” became a timely distraction and escape for many. As we eye-candied the gorgeous-looking candidates and got frustrated over some of their many decisions, we also get a glimpse of the salience of relationship building through thoughtful conversations (season 1 put a stop to in-person interaction for a while). In June, a new season beckons and with the restriction lifted away, we can expect a wild ride, featuring plenty of sun, scandals and of course, sexual tension.

Too Hot to Handle: Season 2 will be available on Netflix on 23 June 2021.

The A List: Season 2

The first season of the teen supernatural drama “The A List”, which was first aired on BBC, was not commissioned for a single season by BBC. Fortunately, our favourite TV streaming service Netflix has taken over the reins and produced the upcoming season. In the second season, a group of teens is trapped on an island, where the dead never seems to die.

The A List: Season 2 will be available on Netflix on 25 June 2021.

So Not Worth It

Starring Park Se Wan, Shin Hyun-Seung, Choi Young-Jae (GOT7’s), Minnie ((G)I-DLE) and Han Hyun-Min, the up-and-coming South Korean sitcom “So Not Worth It” boasts plenty of laughter in the bag. It features a multicultural group of university students who are staying in the same dormitory and the hilarity that ensues from their interactions. Seasoned sitcom director Kwan Ik-Joon spearheads the series.

So Not Worth It will be available on Netflix in June 2021. Date TBA.
