9 K-Dramas To Watch If You’re Feeling Lonely

The current global situation is definitely not something to take lightly. So if you’re in a lockdown or self-isolating, there are going to be times when you feel solitude creeping in. To ease that solitude, here’s a list of dramas to watch when you’re feeling lonely! You’ll be feeling warm and fuzzy in no time!

1. “Flower Boy Next Door

“Flower Boy Next Door” is just one of those dramas where you can’t help but love every character. With a stellar cast, it stars Park Shin Hye as Ko Do Mi, an introverted single woman who lives alone. She doesn’t like to go out too much, but has a secret crush on her neighbor in the apartment across the courtyard. One day, she ends up meeting Enrique Geum (Yoon Shi Yoon), a video game designer, and everything changes in Ko Do Mi’s reclusive world.

Enrique is one of the cutest male leads! He just has that adorable, cheeky charm that will have you grinning from ear to ear. You’ll forget all about feeling lonely and just want to keep watching his sugary sweet shenanigans.

It’s also super relatable. A lot of K-dramas focus on the lives of flashy teens, who go to fancy schools and drive expensive cars. Well, “Flower Boy Next Door” flips that on its head. The people with less than are the focus of the show. As you can see in the shot below, it’s hilarious and on point!

With the story taking place in the winter, you’ll definitely enjoy being wrapped up indoors and not out on the cold beach! The friendships that also form in the show really radiate love and compassion. You won’t feel like you’re missing out on the usual chit chat with your friends after this show!

2. “It’s Okay, That’s Love”

Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin lead this drama, but that isn’t to say that the other characters’ stories are any less important. “It’s Okay, That’s Love” focuses on Jang Jae Yeol (Jo In Sung), an author with a painful past, and Ji Hae Soo, a first year fellow in the psychiatric department of a hospital. Their relationship blooms, all while dealing with mental health struggles themselves.

This show really touches your heart and soul. So many different topics are dealt with, including mental health and Tourette Syndrome. They are all discussed openly and freely, leaving you wishing more dramas were like this!

Why not let the words of Jang Jae Yeol comfort you, and maybe bring you back from the edge of loneliness.
