KDrama Recommendations for an almost beginner

rakhulwen · Sep 5th 2022

Hello everyone! I recently started getting into KDrama after Watching Squid Game, and I've been wondering which ones can be considered the "must watch" for a newcomer. I have already watched: Squid Game Kingdom (both seasons) Touch Your Heart Sky Castle Light on Me Mr Heart Color Rush.

I've also started Goblin and At a distance, spring is green, and I already have a few others in my waiting list (like Happiness, Crash Landing on You, Tale of the Nine Tailed and Let me Be your knight). I'm mainly looking for romance dramas but I'm up for anything really if you tell me it's good. (Also, off topic but if anyone also follows jdramas and has recommendations let me know!)

Thanks in advance!

A bit funny you got into to kdramas after watching Squid Game, but are searching romance dramas.... :)

It's hard to pick, some good ones already mentioned but could add:

Start Up

The "Reply" shows (1997,1994 and 1988)

And the one I'm watching right now: "My Libereration Notes". Maybe not so much about romance but more "slice off life " and young adulthood. Maybe someone think it's a bit "slow", but an amazing good drama in my opinion.

Jdramas:

Last Friends. (a bit old 2008, but good)
