Sci-Fi / Fantasy

I thought My Love from Another Star had fantastic plot.  Basically an alien (Kim Soo Hyun) falls to earth in the Joseon Era.  He’s stranded there, so he learns the culture and centuries later, he is a psychology teacher at a College. It just so happens that there’s a movie star (Jun Ji Hyun) Who needs to take his class for experience in her role.  They meet each other in other ways, as well. - u/elynwen

One of my favorites, My Love From Another Star, is a classic like Coffee Prince and a fun rom com with a supernatural element. It’s one of the only dramas I’ve ever rewatched, I loved it so much! - u/sierra-like-the-mist

My love from another star - you either laugh at the female lead's self importance or turn off the drama. Shin Sung Rock is marvellous as usual. Lots of laughs. - u/the-other-otter

alien

The Master's Sun is about a girl who can ghosts and a chaebol guy who's sort of her 'shelter' from the ghost since when she touches him, the ghosts disappear. - u/simjaang

The Master's Sun -  every ghost case gives a personal development for either the female or the male lead. Unfortunately second to last episode has something annoying, I think the drama was extended, but the ending is fine.  - u/the-other-otter

It's a classic in the ghost genre! - u/Turquoise-Turmoil

Master's Sun - It is horror so there are a few jump scares, but they toned it down after the first 2 episodes. Sort of like ghost whisperer, where the female lead can see ghosts and tries to help them. The ghost dog gets me every time.  - u/gentleindifferences

I watched Master's Sun and enjoyed it a lot even though at first I nearly dropped it. But now I consider it one of the best dramas in that genre.  - u/sadhopelessloner

ghost seeing human, ghosts

I hear your voice - fantasy/crime - a guy who can hear people's thoughts is set to protect the lawyer who saved his life by testifying in court from the person who murdered his father and is about to be released from prison. - u/Turquoise-Turmoil

I Hear Your Voice - Telepathy is a curse, but aids a man sworn to protect his savior.  - unknown

I Hear Your Voice - NO WORDS CAN EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS DRAMA. - u/ultseulgi

I hear your voice - Very well written plot. Each character undergoes great individual growth. And the different relations between the characters feel real and meaningful thanks to having been well managed and executed (both by the writer and the actors). Lovely otp,  even though all the supporting cast grows dear by the end of the show. - u/skyle2002

telepathy

This is a historical fusion. This drama is based on events recorded in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty. Some believe it was a UFO. Others think it was a comet. The supernatural and paranormal possibilities are explored in the drama.

This is a monster-of-the-week type drama. Similar to the X-Files AND Doctor Who. - u/life-finds-a-way

I ended up watching Joseon X-Files 3 times, it was that good. - unknown

multiple supernatural elements - ghost, aliens, etc

Arang and the Magistrate - Arang is a Ghost and she doesn’t know why.  Being the strong female lead that she is, Arang demands that the Jade emperor (Heavenly Monarch) give her time to find out how she died in order to ascend to Heaven.  The Jade emperor gives her 3 moons of time - if she can’t figure it out by then, she’s doomed to hell.

Amazing series.  Arang played by Shin Min Ah, and the Magistrate by Lee Jun Ki fresh out of the military.  He does all of his own impressive stunts.  Can’t recommend it enough. - u/elynwen

Arang and the Magistrate Cute ghosts, scary ghosts and funny shamans. It is low production cost, but the story and the acting makes up for it. The best of Lee Joon Ki.  - u/the-other-otter

a really underrated fantasy sageuk in my opinion.  - u/stone_soup

ghost seeing human, ghost, gods, shaman

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho is about a contract relationship between a young man and a gumiho (nine tailed fox), it's cute,  fun and funny most of the time, and the leads have excellent chemistry. - u/sianiam

My Girlfriend is a Gumiho Cute, innocent girl with superpowers meets boy who can pay for meat.  - u/the-other-otter

this one is the best romantic comedy drama i have seen yet with a developed plot line as well. just adorable - will bring you lots of laughter and tears. - u/czhao97

Shin Min Ah, Lee Sung Gi, gumiho, what's not to like!  - u/agehaya

gumiho (nine tailed fox)

49 Days is my absolute fave! It’s about this woman who  “dies” (her body goes into a coma) a couple of days before her wedding and in order to come back she needs to get 3 people to cry for her. She has 49 days to accomplish her task, and she has to inhabit another body (stranger) to do it. This is more fantasy than comedy but it does has it light moments.  - u/seashell0322

body swap, grim reaper

Super shy kitchen hand is possessed by a man crazy ghost.

Why you should watch: Enjoyable rom-com with excellent cast and great chemistry between the leads. - u/sianiam

Oh My Ghostess - mousy kitchen worker adores cocky chef, but needs the help of an eager virgin ghost to win his attention. - unknown

Oh My Ghostess - This is a fantasy rom-com. The FL gets possessed by a "virgin" ghost and ends up seducing the ML. It's a hilarious and cute drama but also has a mystery aspect to it. You'll be surprised to see Shin Hye-Sun in her early days and I loved the rapport between the main trio. The main leads had great chemistry and you're in for a treat with this drama. - u/Fatooz

ghost seeing human, ghosts, shaman

Woman with superhuman strength becomes a bodyguard to a CEO, meanwhile a case of serial kidnappings occur, can she use her powers for good without getting caught/losing them?

Why you should watch: Watch one episode and you will be hooked, this drama is an adorable cute-fest. The dual story lines don’t work for everyone but I found the darkness balanced out the fluff perfectly well. - u/sianiam

super strength

Romance between a mermaid and a man over two lifetimes

Why you should watch: Jun Ji Hyun is hilarious in this drama. If you liked My Love From Another Star or Chicago Typewriter you will probably enjoy this as it shares (different) elements with both of these (also great sci-fi/fantasy) dramas. While not a perfect drama it is an enjoyable watch. - u/sianiam

Legend of the Blue Sea - like Love from another star also has Jun Ji Hyun as female lead: the worlds cutest and funniest mermaid. Also contains the sassiest maid, the best friends, but a boring villain. You can skip the historic part without really missing much, just remember "parallell".  - u/the-other-otter

Legend of the Blue Sea - This is another fantasy/sci-fi drama where the FL is a mermaid and falls for the ML who is a con man. This drama is a literal fish-out-of-water comedy romance. The main leads are both goofballs and have great comic timing. I also loved the underrated and wholesome friendships between the three guys who lived together and the FL's two "weird" friends. It's a full package of a drama. - u/Fatooz

mermaids, reincarnation

W: Two Worlds - Once there was a very popular webtoon. Suddenly, the author was missing! His daughter decided to find him only to be pulled inside the Webtoon! Watch how the daughter deals with her life being inside and outside of the Webtoon. - u/Thundergod250

W is all about that metaphysics, featuring a romance across two universes. A young doctor finds herself traveling between reality and comic book world created by her father.  - u/matthewofthemany

W -Two Worlds - The FL gets pulled in a WebToon by the ML and ends up saving him. This is a fantasy romantic thriller. The main leads had sparks flying ever since their first meeting. It has a unique concept and the first half is solid in terms of writing. The second half gets a bit messy and might not be everyone's cup of tea but it's an entertaining watch. - u/Fatooz

parallel worlds

Goblin is about Dokkaebi and Reapers and Ghosts trying to live relatively normal lives and a human girl who gets caught up in it all. Similar to Being Human, but with all that added Korean flair.  - u/matthewofthemany

Goblin - Grim Reapers, Ghosts, a 900+ year old Dokkaebi, all interacting with one human girl. Weirdly it's their interactions with the very mundane things that makes this show hilarious.  - u/UkEuropeEarth

dokkaebi, grim reaper, goblin, gods, reincarnation, etc

Let's Fight Ghost - A boy who could see ghost was bullied by the otherworldly beings that he could see. When he grew up, he decided to fight the ghosts that are trying to scare him and be an exorcist. But things went south as soon as he found a girl who is a ghost but needed his help. - u/Thundergod250

A sister show to Let's Eat and Drinking Solo featuring 2PM's Taecyeon. Taecyeon plays an exorcist who befriends the ghost of a young girl.  - u/matthewofthemany

 Let's Fight, Ghost!  - cute ghostbuster guy meets cute ghost student who's up for ghostbusting, and they are very, very cute together, plus stellar comic performances from secondary characters. - unknown

ghost seeing human, ghosts, shaman

Yoo So Joon is the successful CEO of a real estate company who has the ability to time travel when he takes the subway. Going back and forth in time, he sees his future self living a life of torment and unhappiness. To try to offset his doomed future, he decides to marry Song Ma Rin, a cheery photographer, even though he does not love her. Can Ma Rin help So Joon change his unhappy future?  - u/thabz2281

It's a time-travel drama that will probably mess up your head a little but the romance is great and it's beautifully shot.  - u/zazzizaz

Tomorrow with You -- a Time Traveler who uses the subway (to go the future and to return) finds out when he and a woman will die, then does all he can to manipulate the future to avoid that.  A wild ride, but not too confusing.  Slow burn romance.  - u/LcLou02

time travel

Each episode is in two parts very very connected to each other, one part taking place in 2017 detailing the mystery surrounding an alien and the second part in 2037 in a city where emotions are regulated. With intriguing ethical questions and twists everywhere, I've been looking for this more concept based sci-fi in Korean drama.  - u/migster99

time travel, brotherhood, aliens and an extremely engaging Yeo Gin Joo  - u/deviantrockstar

Circle. It's a sci-fi show that follows the story of two brothers, an alien, and a scientist. When the boys were young, them and their dad see an alien appear out of nowhere in the form of a girl. The dad ends up bringing her into the family. One day, the dad and the alien leave, never to be seen again. The boys grow up and we see one of them go to college while the other one is still obsessed with the ideas of aliens. When the alien obsessed brother goes missing, his brother resolves to find him and solve the mystery of what really happened. It's unique in that each half of the episode takes place in a different timeline. One is in the present day, one is in the future. Super interesting and refreshing K-Drama genre - u/whatthefudgeamidoing

alien

Hwayugi (Korean Odyssey) - a loose adaptation of Journey to the West. Human woman gets tasked with preventing the end of the world, all whilst demons and ghosts keep trying to eat her. There's also quite a complicated romance, but if you can get over the manipulation it's fairly sweet.  - u/UkEuropeEarth

Hwayugi - humans getting mixed up with immortals. There us a lot of chemistry in the cast and the dialogue gives a lot to chuckle at.  - u/SomedaySomedayToday

ghost seeing human, ghosts, deities, demons, zombies, etc

Pinocchio. What if you could never, ever lie? Who would you become? And what would you do when faced with a corrupt, lying world?  - unknown

condition that does not exist in reality

a detective trying to find his missing daughter has to depend on a good-guy clone to outfox his high strung and psychotic bad-guy clone.  - u/deviantrockstar

clones

Queen In Hyun's man, Joseon guy keeps being transported into the present thanks to a talisman. I particularly liked this one because he is very smart and doesn't spend ages being amazed by the present, instead he works out how he can change the past to his advantage with the information he can get from the future.  - u/GSV_Zero_Gravitas

It's very good! There's a lot of back and forth of "will they? won't they?" towards the end, which is great if you're the sort of person who likes to be put through the emotional wringer. Also <3 Yoo In-na  - u/OlderThanGif

Queen In-Hyun's Man - A man from the Joseon period ends up time travelling to the modern world and meets the FL who is an actress playing the part of Queen In-Hyun, the person whom the ML is trying to save in the past. It's a cute sci-fi romance wherein the main couple is goals. The plot moves at a fast pace and the time travelling rules are pretty simple. It's an easy watch and just a very wholesome drama. It does get a bit boring in the Joseon parts but it's still entertaining. - u/Fatooz

time travel

I'm Not a Robot - Young woman pretends to be a robot when an android modeled after her malfunctions. Comedy of errors.  - u/fdunhio

I'm Not a Robot - This is a sci-fi-ish rom-com. The ML wants an android robot and the robot ends up getting swapped with the FL. I know it sounds rubbish but it's actually such an easy watch. It makes you cry, laugh at all the ridiculousness and also makes you smile at all the swoon worthy scenes. A lovely watch when you want to just enjoy a cute drama without using your brain cells.  - u/Fatooz

I'm not a robot - ML is a lonely rich man with a health condition that doesn't let him be in close contact with other humans. He orders a robot which looks really life-like, but behind-the-scenes, the robot malfunctions right before it needs to be sent to the ML. Enters FL to replace the robot which was modelled after her to buy some time for the robots' creators to fix the robot. This drama explores loneliness in a really touching and humorous way.  - u/AddictedReader99

androids/robots

Lovely Horribly - An aspiring screen writer and an established actor who were born the same day start working together on the same drama after it turns out that she has been writing about things that happen to him before they happen. But they have an even deeper connection. When one has good luck, the other has bad luck, and there are some ghosts who have an interest in each of them.  -  u/fdunhio

ghosts

Possessed (2019) - Woman who can see ghosts helps police detective against the ghost of a serial killer who has begun to possess the living.  - u/fdunhio

ghost seeing human, ghosts

Big - body/soul switcharoo and falling in love. A lot of people are not a fan of this one. But if you’re going in expecting it to be cutesy and an easy watch, then you’ll enjoy it. And I mean you can’t go wrong with Gong Yoo. - u/PhoRealYo

body swap

The plot is so well thought out. To me, it’s a classic, right up there with Signal. - u/millyforest

Nine Times Time Travel might suit your taste. It's a suspense drama about time-travelling. But it's not your usual time-travel drama. I know that there's been hype for these for a few years now but this one is like one of the pioneers in this genre, so the plot revolves around time-travelling rather than just using it as one of the plot devices. It also has fast-paced romance, just how you like it. I recommend it if you want to see a truly gripping show that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I mean, it's been years since I've seen it and it stays as one of my favorites.  - u/peachfriday

time travel

Secret Garden - The good ol' body swap drama. It is about a snob chaebol who ends up getting switched with a stubborn stunt woman with a very sweet center.  - u/Kordiana

Secret Garden is a classic and one of my all-time favorite dramas. It’s more of a sweet, rich guy/poor girl romance, with a bit of supernatural fun thrown in.  - u/sierra-like-the-mist

Secret Garden - Another fantasy drama wherein the ML is an absolute jerk to the FL but the FL can't help but fall for him. It's yet another one of those rich ML poor FL dramas but with a fantasy twist. The best part about the drama is the body swap between the main leads. The acting of both the actors during the body swap was on point and hilarious, especially Hyun Bin. It's a funny drama if you ignore the problematic parts and enjoy without taking it too seriously.  - u/Fatooz

body swap

Are You Human, Too? - A chaebol gets involved in a car accident and ends in a coma. His stand-in takes immediately over, letting the world believe he's fine. His female bodyguard seems to believe the same. However, the truth is much more complicated and suddenly before our eyes the most unlikely romance unfolds, between a woman and a robot. And yes, we do get a happy ending!  - u/imerremi

Are You Human Too?  is soo bingeable and he's the most adorable, flirty robot ever.  Seo Kang Joon's facial movements and inflections are so impressively slight, indicating which role he's playing. - u/pvtshame

androids/robots

Possessed (2009) - Girl starts to see ghosts after her sister is murdered, and her sister's ghost is out for revenge. - u/fdunhio

ghost seeing human, ghosts

I started watching it and I'm absolutely hooked. It's an occult drama where the main character, basically feels like his dreams can never come true and is poor, sells his soul to the devil to become everything he ever wanted. However, it's only for 10 years. Then, he has to give up soul and his new lifestyle but instead makes a new deal with the devil to buy more time. Starring Jung Kyung-ho and Park Sung-woong from Life on Mars.  - u/whatthefudgeamidoing

devil, deities, soul-selling

Bride of the Century - Seriously an underrated Kdrama. One of my favorites. It's fast-pace and has lots of interesting twists. It's Rom-com with a dash of mystery and ghost.  - u/nomm01

ghost

Faith: A bodyguard from Goryeo travels in time and kidnaps a sassy modern-day surgeon to save his dying king. It's got swoon-worthy leads and a sweet romance plot along with lots of political turmoil, sword fighting and court intrigue. It isn't the most well-balanced show in terms of plot development and execution, but it has it's moments that make it worth a watch when you have nothing else on your plate.  - u/surreal_strawberry

I really liked Faith. It might just be because I like almost any show with timetravel but who knows  - u/minlegacy

time travel

Rooftop Prince A prince from forn days ends up with three servants in the rooftop flat of a modern day Seoul employee, trying to understand what is really a toilet.  The most hilarious swindling ever. The saddest villains.   No superpowers apart from the timetravel.  - u/the-other-otter

time travel

Chicago Typewriter -  Chicago Typewriter is an awesome drama that takes place in two time periods (modern and Japanese Occupation), has a ghost, reincarnation, humour, sadness, and a good OST. - u/LcLou02

ghost

Signal - In this incredible sci-fi crime thriller, an old two-way radio connects a present-day squad leader and police profiler with a detective in the past. Together, the 3 solve cold cases to change the past (and consequently, the present and future). You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be fed up but this is an absolute MUST WATCH for every kdrama viewer.  - u/teddygi

Tunnel - Cop from 80s time travels to 2017 and the serial murderer he was chasing back then starts up murdering again. Strong story, strong bromance, strong parent-child relationships, a little romance (primarily our hero intensely missing the wife he left in the 80s). Lots of funny moments without skimping on the suspense and thriller aspects.  - u/renicrat

Live Up To Your Name: A traditional doctor travels through time to present day and becomes entangled with a feisty modern-day doctor who is somewhat dismissive of his acupuncture abilities. However, as times goes on, they began to recognize in each the qualities that make both of them good doctors. Filled with hijinks and cute pigs, this drama is a must watch for the comedy.  - u/myweithisway

Go Back Couple - A man and a wife divorced for being unable to cope with their daily problems. Suddenly, they were sent back in time when they were still in school and never even met. Will these two fix their fate? Or will they change it to something that they couldn't do many years before? - u/Thundergod250

While You Were Sleeping - This is a story of a woman who could see a portion of a future, most likely their deaths. She could ignore it or do something to prevent it as it is possible that it could be changed. But what if the death that she saw is hers? Another thing is... what if she's not the only one who could see them? How can she stop her death along with other people who could see the future? - u/Thundergod250

While You Were Sleeping - There is enough mystery to keep us guessing, beginning with mysterious dreams by the heroine that always come true.  Two other characters come into play, and begin to have their own mysterious dreams.  The cast is fantastic (Lee Jong Suk, Suzy, Jung Hae In).  - u/elynwen

Memories of the Alhambra - Videogaming incorporated into real life. Suspense and hard to stop binging, but you don't really get proper explanation of how things happened.  - u/the-other-otter

He's a psychometric - It's easier to solve crimes with some supernatural powers. Who destroyed the main characters childhood? When to forgive, or not? - u/the-other-otter

He is psychometric: ML can see people's and thing's past by touching them. Only person he can't read is his older brother who is a detective. Drama has detective storyline, and a bromance to die for. - u/AddictedReader99

psychometry

Feel good to die - Hilarious timetravel where the same day is lived again and again. About shitty bosses and how to make it possible to stand up to them. And romance. - u/the-other-otter

Hotel del Luna - Pretty drama about the ghost of the day, some romance, but the manuscript could have been more developed. Same writers wrote Master's Sun, which is similar but better, although less pretty.  - u/the-other-otter

Hotel Del Luna - Story follows the entry of ML who's human into a hotel for ghosts as a manager. The hotel helps ghost guests move past their grudges and unfulfilled wishes. FL is very dramatic, and the interactions between ML and FL are fun to watch.  - u/AddictedReader99

Gods Gift: 14 Days - The last episode received some (IMO well deserved) flack but give it a chance because it's a really good drama. Avoid reading reviews with spoilers at all costs.  - u/deviantrockstar

time travel

I really liked Moon Embracing The Sun. It has a bit of supernatural (shamans and magic). Without spoilers: a forbidden love across the time between the King and a shaman.  - u/KoalaAgassi

Moon Embracing the Sun - my first historical drama that helped me get interested in Korean historical dramas. I’d rewatch it over and over again (I’ve watched it 3 times) and it’s funny too!  - u/ArtByVante

Moon Embracing the Sun was a lovely historical fantasy. I really enjoyed it. - u/ThisFatGirlRuns

Operation Proposal- A man regrets that he never confessed his love to his childhood friend, but can't remedy it because she is now married. He gets the chance to go back in time to fix his mistakes so they could have a chance at having a relationship.  - u/silverbluefox

Operation Proposal - Male protagonist pretty obsessed with female protagonist. He travels through time to fix his mistakes. Good rom com.  - u/baitaozi

Familiar Wife - A salary man, trying to survive in a seemingly demanding office job. In private a fan of online games and a pushover.

A deeply unhappy wife  unable to communicate with her husband. A dedicated house wife and a loving mother of two resenting her husband and demanding to "get her life back".

Who wouldn't accept an oportunity to escape this kind of life when all it takes is a 500 Won coin and passing through a unconspicious tallgate?

He regrets as soon he has passed the gate and entered the alternate reality. There's no turning back...the gate is gone. After initial regrets he settles for his new life. Hey, he's no longer unhappily married with children but to a love of his life and gets to live in a dream marriage! Or so it seems.

He ends up getting divorced anyway. His new wife is not as nice as she seemed when they met as young. After finally standing up for himself to the princess on a pea he gets confronted with divorce papers. That's where it hits him: "Now that this life has gone sour, too... could I have done something differently?".

The trick is his wife is still present in his new life but has retained no memory of their previous life together and he's continuously being confronted with his feelings. At some point both search for the tallgate together in a futile attempt to go back to their past relationship. They manage to enter year 2018 but as singles. He's hesitant to start a relationship again and it takes a bus accident and him nearly losing his wife for him to realise he wants it anyway. After having done all the possible soul searching in the world and having grown as a human being and a husband he feels confident.

This time it will work.

With support from family and friends, it should be a different story this time, shouldn't it? - u/imerremi

Star of the Universe - This is a short fantasy rom-com where the FL who is a grim reaper gets to become a human for sometime to fulfill her wishes while she stays with the ML who is an idol and whom she is a huge fan of. It's a cute drama that you can enjoy when you don't have much time on your hands. The chemistry between the main leads was adorable although they aren't the best of the actors. But if you're an EXO fan then this is a must watch.  - u/Fatooz

grim reaper

Where Stars Land - Han Yeo Reum is the newest member of the Passagers Service Team at Incheon International Airport. She's a bit clumsy but she cares for her work and her colleagues. She meets Lee Soo Yeon, who is one year her senior. Soo Yeon is a perfectionist at heart... But is hiding a secret. When these two polar opposites begin to clash heads, will any good come of it? Will an unlikely understanding between the two be enough to calm the waters enough for a romance to begin?  - u/Lonely_Note7

My Absolute Boyfriend - A human-size box containing some large shipment arrives suddenly at a certain address. A wrong one. Person living on the premises opens the box and we're confronted with a view of a robot. A very friendly robot that imprints himself on the very first woman he opens his eyes, just like he's supposed to. He's namely a "boyfriend" and like the title suggests even an absolute one. However, the story ends tragically due to serious malfunctioning issues of the robot. - u/imerremi

Black - A policeman develops feelings for a certain woman that foresees death of people moments before it actually happens. A Grim Reaper that goes by name 444 enters his body and has to act accordingly, however not without  being affected by the remnant feelings and memories of the said body. Black alternates between laughter, romance and workings of a Grim Reaper gone policeman on search of his runaway partner whom he has to escort to the other side. The ending is on the bitter-sweet side which might leave some disappointed.  - u/imerremi

ghost seeing human, ghosts, grim reapers

The King: Eternal Monarch -This is a sci-fi romance thriller. To be honest, this drama is not for everyone. It's pretty different from your usual KDramas and gives more of western sci-fi drama vibes. It's difficult to get into but it's one of those dramas that becomes better after the first 6 episodes. So you need to be patient with it. There were many iconic moments in this drama. It's kind of a package, sometimes it'll give you an epic feel, sometimes a matured romance, sometimes great action and most of the times lots and lots of material for thinking. It has great cinematography and soundtrack. It's far from perfect but it's still a entertaining watch. The main leads had great chemistry and the bromance between the two MLs was amazing too. - u/Fatooz

Parallel worlds

365: Repeat the Year - This is a sci-fi drama without romance. It's about how a group of people go under a "reset" which is basically time travelling a year back so that they can try and save themselves however after this "reset" they become part of a "game", a game of their lives! Both the ML and FL team up to find out how they can save everyone while they face the consequences of the "reset" It's a drama that keeps you on the edge of your seat and makes you keep watching the next episode. It's also just 12 episodes which makes it an easy watch.  - u/Fatooz

Time travel

Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo - The FL ends up time travelling to the Goryeo dynasty era and ends up getting involved in the lives of the princes. As she does this she ends up changing history without anyone remembering her in the history books. It's a fun watch in the first half and a sob fest in the second half. If you like the 'bad boy turns good after meeting the good girl' trope then you will enjoy this for sure. Also it has an ensemble cast so there's quite some eye candy making it easier to watch. Top this all with a solid soundtrack. - u/Fatooz

Time travel

Mr. Queen - The soul of a guy running away from the cops gets inside the Queen who is also running away from something and chaos ensues. The acting done by the FL of this drama was just outstanding and it's a hilarious watch. The palace politics don't get you bored, and in fact they keep you entertained. The chemistry between the ML and FL was lovely and it's just one heck of an entertaining drama.  - u/Fatooz

Mr. Queen - FL is actually a man from the 21st century who's soul has been sent to the body of a queen from the past after a close brush with death. Story is about all his antics as the queen and unraveling the mysteries of the Queen's life.  - u/AddictedReader99

Body Swap

Mystic Pop-Up Bar - This is another fantasy drama which is super wholesome and warm. It's just 12 episodes and might give you Hotel Del Luna vibes but I personally loved it a lot more than HDL. The FL is badass yet manages to portray so many emotions. The main trio is absolute goals and I loved their bonding. Every episode teaches you a new lesson and it may even make you value your family a lot more. - u/Fatooz

Mystic Pop-Up Bar - A prickly woman serving an afterlife punishment meets a man with special abilities that can help her fulfill her missions. With the woman's supervisor, the trio work to complete the woman's missions before her deadline, and discover some realizations along the way. This was both quirky and heartwarming, and overall a very fun drama to watch! - u/craftsycandymonster

Scripting Your Destiny - A short fantasy romance drama that gives you Goblin vibes. It references so many of the iconic dramas out there. It's funny, cute at some points and good for a side watch when you're bored. It's not the best of the drama but it's an easy watch. - u/Fatooz

The Uncanny Counter - This is a fantasy drama where 4 people who are "counters" team together to look for evil spirits and send them to hell. It features great friendships and is mostly wholesome. The first half was solid, although the second half gets a bit messy and goes off track but it ends smoothly. it is a dark drama but it keeps you on the edge of your seat for the most part. - u/Fatooz

The Uncanny Counter - Follows a boy named So Mun who is recruited into the business of demon hunting with a group of humans with special powers called Counters. Together they clean the streets of demons who have left the afterlife without permission, with the help of their 'heavenly helpers'. But soon they find out that a human doesn't need to be possessed by a demon to be evil.  - u/Lonely_Note7

Afterlife, Evil Spirits, etc

Memorist - ML can read people's memories by touch, uses that to solve cases, and is a popular detective because of these reasons. Also cannot control his temper because of the vile thoughts he reads from criminals. FL is a highly capable police superintendent with a doctorate in criminal psychology. Both of them end up working on a case together to catch a criminal who seems formidable. - u/AddictedReader99

A Piece of Your Mind - ML tries to get over the death of his childhood love by making a duplicate of that person's mind using their voice. FL came to know that person because of ML. This is a calm story showing the transition from being hung over a past love to falling in love again. Cannot recommend this one enough.  - u/AddictedReader99

I Hate You Juliet - ML gains the ability to read FL's mind. It starts off by him getting annoyed whenever it happens, and transitions to him understanding her and falling in love with her. This is an extremely fluff and cute high school romance with a little scifi to spice it up. - u/AddictedReader99

ARTHDAL CHRONICLES!! It is so underrated but probably the best fantasy drama I have ever watched (kdrama or not)

Arthdal Chronicles (staring Song Joong Ki and Kim Ji Won) is a historical/ fantasy drama set in the bronze age in an ancient kingdom called Arthdal. It is so unique because I've never seen a historical drama set in this time period and the plot and worldbuilding are absolutely incredible. As an avid reader, I rarely see worldbuilding in shows or movies that compare to a good fantasy novel, but this show has worldbuilding comparable to a Brandon Sanderson book (and that is saying something). The cast is top notch, the setting and cinematography are beautiful, and the OST (Poem of Destiny by Ailee) is literally the most beautifully intense and unique drama OST out there. I 10000/10 recommend this show to EVERYONE! - u/ConfidentRead3

Multiple parts

Missing: The Other Side - The leads here can see a village filled with missing dead people, and they try to help these people leave the village by finding their missing bodies. This drama has the perfect balance of mystery and heartwarming scenes. It wasn't promoted as a comedy, but it was hilarious at times, thus it was a super enjoyable watch.  - u/ConstructionExact

The Beauty Inside - The fantasy here is more subtle, where the FL experiences a change in her appearance for one week every month. It's actually a rom com, so there were many hilarious moments. The leads has fantastic chemistry, so many of the scenes here was also really sweet, including those of the second couple. This drama also had a super easy-going (and thus easy to watch) chaebol family, where everyone was super sweet, despite their being a little friction between the ML and his sister. - u/ConstructionExact

18 Again - Here, the ML gets transformed into his younger form and decides to live his life proper again, away from his wife and kids. But he soon finds himself getting worried and involved with his own family, but this time as a third party. This drama was super well-done, in the sense that it was able to convey heartfelt messages about parenthood and love. - u/ConstructionExact

My Roommate is a Gumiho - A fantasy rom-com where the ML is a 700 year old Gumiho. It's also a cohabitation drama where the ML and FL end up living together for some reasons. It's a good balance between cute and mature and the chemistry between the leads was great. It's one of those dramas where you can't hate/dislike any character and everyone is wholesome.  - u/Fatooz

Sell Your Haunted House - A very fun ghost show about a real estate agent who performs exorcisims and a con man who teams up with her.  No romance between the leads, which was actually kind of surprising, but they do develop a pretty great friendship. It's not a groundbreaking drama, but it is solidly entertaining and worth a watch. - u/Silly_Merricat
