This classic K-drama starring Bae Yong Joon and Choi Ji Woo is one for everyone to watch, especially if you’re a K-drama fan! It’s a painful love story with all of the amazing K-drama tropes.

Upon the release of this K-drama, it took Asia by storm, and the filming site is still considered a hot tourist attraction to this day.

If you’re looking for a recent K-drama on this list, look no further. “While You Were Sleeping” is a K-drama that many fell in love with. It’s not too intense, which is great for binge-watching, and the fact that Lee Jong Suk and Suzy are the main leads is enough of a reason to watch it!

6. Goblin
It’s been one year since this drama was released, and there are many who are still feeling the pains of withdrawal. Starring Gong Yoo as our favorite Goblin, Kim Go Eun as the adorable Goblin’s bride, and Lee Dong Wook as our lovable grim reaper, “Goblin” left us feeling all of the emotions and then some. It touched on family, friends, and love, all of which are significantly important, especially during the holidays. Even if you’ve already watched it, it’s worth re-visiting.

7. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
Starring Lee Sung Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk, this K-drama centered around the relationship between a girl who is a weightlifter and a guy who swims is too sweet to handle. It’ll warm your heart seeing these two fall in love throughout the series. Their chemistry and the way they look at each other is so genuine and heartfelt, it almost looked real! *wink wink*

8. Because This Is My First Life
If you’re looking for a K-drama that’s unique and different from most of the K-dramas out there, look no further. “Because This Is My First Life” stars Lee Min Ki as a computer designer and Jung So Min as a writer. The two end up in a contract marriage, and despite this seeming like a cliche K-drama storyline, their unique characters and script makes the drama so refreshingly different and worth watching.

9. Oh My Venus
The hot and sizzling main couple played by So Ji Sub and Shin Min Ah are perfect for this winter season. It also might motivate you to hit the gym after all the food that will most likely be devoured throughout the holidays. Shin Min Ah plays a slightly overweight lawyer by the name of Kang Joo Eun who meets and falls in love with a famous trainer named Kim Young Ho. Their relationship intensifies quickly; this is a rom-com that is light and perfect to binge watch while you kick your feet up and relax!

10. Reply 1988
It was hard to choose out of the three “Reply” series, but I decided to choose “Reply 1988” mainly for the fact that it touches a lot on the theme of family. It also shows the struggles that the main family goes through and their support of each other through it all. The drama also shows the pangs of pain and joys that are experienced with first loves. It is perfect for the whole family!
