Hi,

I’m wanting to try to introduce a friend of mine to kdramas (/Asian drama generally).


She tends to be a fan of thriller/detective/mystery type stuff but I mostly watch rom coms so I don’t really know what to recommend.....


Any ideas?

For Chinese:
Day and Night, Burning Ice, Original Sin, Medical Examiner dr Qin, When a Snail falls in love

 For Korean:
Stranger, Life on Mars, Tunnel or  Signal, The Guest

It might be easier to introduce her through movies first

Eerie: Invisible Face, Long Goodbye - are great mini-series that well to begin with

Parasite - Cannes 2019 winner

Thanks guys - we’re going with Tunnel as it was the first one we found on Netflix :D up to episode 4, so far so good!
