Romantic Korean Dramas to binge-watch on Netflix

Have you ever watched K-dramas or heard about it? How was your experience watching it? How are the K-dramas different from those of your home country? If you are the one who never watched any of the K-dramas, trust me, you need to start watching one. They not only completely engage you but also entertain you for sure.

K-dramas have a multitude of different genres such as romance, comedy, action, historical, mystery and fantasy. While most k-dramas carry a lot of romantic elements and there are different styles & tones.
Korean dramas are popular worldwide because of the story and the excellent quality of production, cinematography, streaming services and subtitles which they offer in multiple languages.
