The 3 Best Romantic K-Dramas Streaming On Netflix This May
You may be missing out on a whole genre of entertainment. Here’s where you should start your K-Drama journey if you love romance.
When you think about the English-language romance shows, you can probably count them all out on one hand–maybe two. Alas, Hollywood cares more about police procedurals than they do about catering to the audience’s hearts. That’s not the case in Korea, though! Romantic K-dramas are plentiful and cover a wide range of subgenres and romance tropes. Want something supernatural? Historical? Modern and funny? They’ve got it. But how do you parse out all that’s available to find the best one? These are the three best k-dramas to watch on Netflix right now.
Crash Landing On You
After a freak paragliding accident, a wealthy Korean businesswoman crash-lands in a woodsy forest. When she finds a handsome man there in North Korean soldier, she refuses to believe that she’s accidentally landed on the northern side of the border. Is it dangerous? Sure. But it’s also hilarious, totally un-serious, utterly adorable, and incredibly well-made.
Romance is a Bonus Book
After a complicated childhood together, lifelong friends Kang Dan-i and Cha Eun-ho try to remain in each others’ adult lives. It gets complicated though when Kang Dan-i hides just how poor her life has become as she secretly tries to work for Cha Eun-ho since he became successful in the publishing world. This one’s perfect if you love books and enjoy a slow-burn friends-to-lovers storyline.
See You In My 19th Life
Ban Ji-eum has been reincarnating over and over for nearly a thousand years, but it isn’t until her 18th life that she’s found someone special. When that life is cut drastically short, she dedicates her 19th life to finding him again. This is for those of you who like a little fantasy with your romance.
