Want to start watching Korean dramas but don’t know where to start? Here are some shows which can kickoff your K-drama journey. You can find all of these shows on platforms such Netflix, Viki and Kissasian.
• Shopaholic Louis, is a light-hearted rom-com which portrays a story about a billionaire heir, Louis who has lived a sheltered life and is obsessed with shopping. For some reason he loses his memory and ends up meeting Go Bok-Sil, a countryside girl who has come to Seoul, to make a life for herself. It is a sweet series consisting of 16 episodes, perfect to binge on a weekend.
• My Love From The Star, is a love story about an actress who’s labelled as Asia’s Angel and An alien. Yup, you heard it correct, an alien. This series is a must watch because you won’t find a better looking alien than Do Min Joon. It is a 21 episode series filled with drama, cringe and lots of science related to astrology.
• She Was Pretty, is based on a true story, a romcom about two past acquaintances, who meet again after going through reversal of fortune and appearance, set up in the backdrop of a fashion magazine. This show will literally make you die of laughter, not because the leads are funny, Nope. Rather the side characters are the ones that make this amazing show all the more better.
• Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo, revolves around the life of a woman weightlifter and the sports school she is attending. Because she is a weightlifter, it is portrayed that she’s not beautiful and desirable. It is a beautiful drama about a twenty-something sportswoman and I really love this so much that whenever I am in a funk I just watch this show to cheer me up.
• Guardian; The Lonely And Great God, is a super popular K-drama. You’d find this show on every K-drama List. It has the most famous trio, the k-drama industry has ever witnessed. The storyline is just extraordinary. I won’t tell you anything more about it because then it would ruin the show’s authenticity.
