1. Our Winter Secret

Starring: Rowoon & Kim So-hyun

A shy boy and a girl trying to wipe away her past become entangled in each other's life during Seoul's winter. "Our Winter Secret" doesn't hurry the love. It develops with every glance, every quiet moment. It's a tale of trust, forgiveness, and loving someone who is learning how to love themself.

2. Love at Second Sight

Starring: Lee Do-hyun & Park Gyu-young

When a car crash leaves him with visions of a future in which they're married — but acquaintances in the real world — this melodrama examines destiny, timing, and lost chances. It's a downer but an optimistic one, and the lead couple's chemistry is lively.

3. When the Stars Fell

Starring: Cha Eun-woo & Kim Ji-won

This romance-fantasy mixes stardust with heartache when an astronomer develops feelings for a woman who exists only during meteor showers. It sounds magical — and it is — but the emotional hook is loving someone despite knowing you have little time left.

4. The Art of Breaking Up

Starring: Jung Hae-in & Jo Bo-ah

Spelled out backwards, from where love dies to where love is born, this drama is real, hip, and acutely truthful. You already know how it's going to end, but you still fall for it — just like with actual love.

5. A Letter You'll Never Read

Cast: Seo Kang-joon & Lee Sung-kyung

A writer keeps writing anonymous letters to a radio host who unknowingly reads them on the air. As the emotional stakes rise, the listeners fall for both the words and the weight they carry. Prepare to sob — and write letters you never send.

6. Somewhere Only We Know

Starring: Song Kang & Roh Jeong-eui

Two lone people see each other every Sunday at the same coffee shop, never exchanging names but stories. It's soft, sentimental, and so quietly told that you'll wish Sundays would never get over.

7. Crash of My Heart

Starring: Kim Seon-ho & Shin Min-ah

A reunion between former lovers in a shock that involves a prosecutor and a scandal-ridden news anchor welcomes us to a story of redemption that's passionate and so moving. Their pain surrounds us, yet so does their love.

8. Moonlight Records

Hwang Min-hyun & Chae Soo-bin

A midnight-only vinyl store is the convergence of two broken hearts. Indie charm and a bloody good soundtrack make this drama for every night owl who's ever comforted themselves with love and music at odd times of the night.

9. The Love We Lost

Cast: Park Seo-joon & Han Hyo-joo

A post-breakup romance wherein two people try to navigate the world after ending their relationship. It's adult, it pains, and it's real — a drama where it knows some times, love does not always mean staying… but growing rather.

10. See You in Spring

Casts: Ahn Bo-hyun & Jung So-min

This romance tracks a dying man who creates a list of strangers to help — until he falls in love with one. A weeper with a big heart, it's about goodness, meaning, and falling in love when you don't have time.

11. Love, Rewritten

Starring: Im Si-wan & Kim Da-mi

A novelist who can relive experiences in his past must choose between fixing regret or preserving the love that he fell into. It's twisty and emotional, with a new take on love and destiny.

12. A Day Without You

Starring: Yoo Seung-ho & Go Min-si

A woman wakes up in a world in which her lover never existed — and she is the only one who remembers. A melancholic fantasy that descends deep into despair, memory, and the pain of release. It will stay with you.
