K-dramas have been gaining global popularity lately with the help of various OTT services, such as Netflix. Korean dramas did appeal to the global audience even a few years back, but with easier access, K-drama has been able to spread to a broader market of viewers.
Unlike American series, which long for multiple seasons, K-dramas boast fast story development, and the series usually end with just one season. Thanks to this, viewers are offered an endless list of dramas with various stories and different genres that they can watch. At times, it might be difficult to navigate through the long list of dramas, and recommendations would often help shorten the list.
So, K-netizens listed some of the must-see dramas that international viewers should watch. So here is the list of K-dramas recommended by K-netizens.
Signal (2016)
Stranger (2017)
Life on Mars (2018)
Mr. Sunshine (2018)
My Country: The New Age (2019)
