Ever wondered if certain dramas aired today, they’d gain even more popularity and be even more fun to watch? Here are ten beloved K-dramas that would be fantastic to see a remake in 2024:

1. “Boys Over Flowers”: Known for introducing many international viewers to K-dramas, “Boys Over Flowers” definitely deserves a 2024 update. With hi-teen romance dramas trending, a modern rendition would be great. After saving a student's life, Geum Jan Di attends the most prestigious high school in the country, but she soon becomes the target of bullying by the four most popular boys in school.



2. “Winter Sonata”: Jun Sang transfers to a small town high school and finds a connection with his schoolmate Yoojin, blossoming into a beautiful romance until a tragedy tears them apart. Given its enduring popularity and iconic status, a 2024 version with stunning new scenery would be a treat.



3. “Stairway to Heaven”: This early 2000s drama is a heart-wrenching love story between two childhood friends separated and reunited years later. As Jung Suh tries to rekindle their love, she finds herself gradually losing her eyesight. A 2024 rendition would capture its emotional depth for a new audience.



4. “My Name is Kim Sam Soon”: Seeing 2024 Hyun Bin and Kim Sun Ah together again would be delightful. Their chemistry was perfect in this series, and a reboot would be refreshing. Kim Sam Soon, a mid-thirty-year-old patissier, finds romance with her boss, making for an engaging story.



5. “Full House”: Given the global spread of K-dramas, it's surprising we haven't seen a new rendition of “Full House.” This love story between an aspiring screenwriter and a top star actor, forced to live together, is ripe for a modern update.



6. “Rooftop Prince”: This drama flips the time jump trope, with the Crown Prince and his companions finding themselves in modern-day Korea. Watching them navigate 300 years into the future would be intriguing in a 2024 setting.



7. “Highkick Through the Roof”: This sitcom, a staple series, showcased rising stars and relatable everyday adventures. Since it last aired in 2011, a 2024 version would be a much-needed update, bringing new humor and stories.



8. “Princess Hours”: A modern twist on the classic royal fairytale, “Princess Hours” tells the story of a high school girl engaged to the Crown Prince. A 2024 version would add more luxury and chaos, making it a must-watch.



9. “Flower Boy Ramyun Shop”: This drama follows a high school teacher who accidentally flirts with one of her students, leading to a series of hilarious and romantic encounters. A 2024 update would be refreshing, especially with its strong-hearted lead, Eun Bi.



10. “Who Are You: School 2015”: Given the immense popularity of “Who Are You: School 2015” and its subsequent seasons, a “School 2024” series would capture the unique challenges and experiences of Gen Z teens, making it a captivating watch.
