Makjang Drama Recommendations

I have been watching Korean dramas since 2019, and have always preferred your standard 16 episode dramas with just a single (Hospital Playlist being the exception), 12 episodes were even better! 

But recently I have began to venture into long running family/ makjang dramas and have come to the conclusion that I really enjoy them! I find them to be more meaning full and have the slow burn romance element that I enjoy very much.  

Listed below are some of the family dramas that I have enjoyed so far and would like to recommend in case you enjoy such a genre as well :) 

PS* Definitely not the end of this list, will edit as I watch and complete more dramas.  Also open to recommendations :)
