  3 Korean Dramas Recommendations



As someone who has been watching Korean dramas avidly for a little less than a decade, I decided to rally up all my favorite series. Korean dramas tap into a cliche that we all love watching and debating. Whether it is a stereotypical high school romance or a business model romance, dramas give us clarity and a certainty about our modern day living. How it is not always a clear path to a happy ending. 


With that being said, these are my favorite top 3 recommended korean dramas to keep you in the light with new perspectives and new ideas that inform us about the trials and tribulations of being human. 




1. Romance is a Bonus Book



Not all marriages work out. This is what happens to our main protagonist who is hurled by the whirlwinds of a divorcee. Romance is a Bonus Book is set within the Gyeroo Publishing company. Kang Dani, the main female character, is a divorced and single mother who strives  to re-enter the workforce. Her long time friend Cha Eun-ho is a successful author and chief editor at the book publishing company. Through their friendship we see a blooming and budding romance through our two main characters within the publishing workplace environment full of lovely book references and poems.  



2. Love Alarm 

Love Alarm is a take on modern technology on how love can be found through this application called Love Alarm. This app allows users to find out the truth on who has their heart set on them within a 10-meter radius. This story follows our protagonist Kim Jojo who copes through her school year with the use of this newfound app and a love triangle that ensues. 



3. Crash Landing On You 


This is as far as we can see a Netflix original get political, as our protagonist lands into North Korea Territory. After a paragliding accident a South Korean heiress ends up in North Korea, where she meets an army colonel who agrees to help her hide. Through the adventure of trying to escape and adjust into a new country, Yoon Se-ri eventually finds her way in falling in love with the captain in the Korean’s Peoples Army.
