Beginning KDrama

Jenii Chan Author

I've been watching JDramas but would like to try some KDrama. I've seen a couple KMovies but no dramas. I don't really know where to start. I don't want anything recent or still running though. I mostly like manga adaptions, romance, school, comedy and family stories. Any romances involving older women (30+) would be great too.

Any ideas?

Thanks! :)

Bolded ones are my personal favourites.

  • Healer (romance/comedy/action/mystery) - strong plot with comedy elements and really heartwarming romance, good chemistry
  • Shopping King Louie (romance/comedy) - overall a very sweet and fluffy rom-com
  • Suspicious Partner (romance/comedy/law/crime) - a funny and sweet romcom, strong chemistry
  • Hello Monster - (romance/mystery/detective/crime) - romance with an older female lead, strong crime plot
  • Rooftop Prince (romance/comedy/time travel/historical/mystery) - really funny rom-com, made me laugh a lot
  • Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (romance/comedy/crime) - really strong chemistry, adorable main couple
  • Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (romance/comedy/slice of life/school)

Additional dramas with older female lead:

  • Witch's Romance
  • High School King of Savvy
  • Secret Love Affair
  • Another Miss Oh
  • Empress Ki
  • Personal Taste
  • Faith
  • I Hear Your Voice

Boys over flowers was my first k-drama and I think it's a good drama to begin with :)

I think these ones are a good start, they are all very easy to watch and some of them are within my favorite ones. 

  • Healer (romance)
  • The liar and his lover (this one is a manga adapatation, it has a brigther vibe compared to the jmovie)
  • The Master's sun (romance)
  • The Greatest love (romance)
  • Kill Me Heal Me (romance)
  • Weightlifting fairy (romance, college)
  • Flower boy next door (this one is adapted from a webtoon which is similar to a manga)
  • Oh my ghostess (romance)
  • Fight for my way (romance)
