Must-Watch K-Dramas

NOTE: Last updated on 1/13/2017

I realized that more often than not, Korean dramas either have you desperately and painfully rooting for the second male leads, or they just have horribly unsatisfying ambiguous/sad/happy-mediocre endings.

So, I decided to give you a list of those I think that are must-watch because the leads are just so perfect for each other you can’t think any other way, and their ending is as perfect as their love story deserves.

I will also include links on my raves about said dramas (if there’s any).

Enjoy!

P.S. It’s possible that I might be missing some of the many great shows out there, so please feel free to remind me on the comments!

Here goes.

7. The Innocent Man/Nice Guy (2012) starring Song Joong Ki and Moon Chae Won

Honestly, I had to contemplate this one for a bit, because there were some moments that I almost gave in to the second lead played by Lee Sang-yeob. But Kang Ma Roo is the best!

8. Let’s Fight Ghost (2016), starring Taecyeon and Kim So Hyun

There’s no doubt about it, this is a ONE TRUE PAIRING. Their chemistry is so good that even the director changed his mind about the number of kissing scenes between the two. I kind of wished I had more blog posts about them, but I was so engrossed in the show, I didn’t even want to pause and write about it.

9. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

These two look so beautiful onscreen, all the rave viewers wanted them to date IRL, and those well-wishers include me.
