Wondering what the best Korean dramas on Netflix are? With so many to choose from, how are you supposed to know where to start?
That's where this post comes in. I've handpicked the 30 best Korean dramas on Netflix for your viewing pleasure.
Whether youโre feeling more Crash Landing on You or Healer, youโll find something new to watch in this post!
Pro Tip
By the way, if you want to learn Korean fast and have fun while doing it, my top recommendation is Korean Uncovered which teaches you through my fun, unique and effective StoryLearningยฎ method.
K-dramas are another force in the globalisation of Korean popular culture, getting fans around the world hooked on slow-burn romances and dramatic plotlines.
Some of the most well-known K-dramas are romances. But if thatโs not what youโre into, K-dramas are diverse, and you can dive into historical or action K-dramas instead.
Thereโs no need to fiddle around with subtitle files anymore or frantically search for websites to watch K-dramas, as many of them are now available fully subtitled on Netflix. One thing is for sure, regardless of what you choose to watch, expect drama!
K-dramas first expanded outside of Korean borders around the early 1990s as they became big in China and Japan. It was actually a K-drama โ Winter Sonata โ that was seen to be one of the first examples of the Korean Wave, due to the unprecedented popularity of the male lead with Japanese housewives.
Fair warning, youโll be seeing a lot of delicious food in K-dramas, so I recommend you get your hands on some chimaek (Korean fried chicken and beer).
Youโll definitely be craving it if youโre watching My Love from the Star, as it actually so popular it started a chimaek craze in Korea and China when the show was airing!
Anyway, without further ado, here are the best Korean dramas on Netflix.
