These Top Korean Dramas About Love Are the Reason We Believe in Soulmates!

There is something to the manner Korean dramas recount romance, and it is not timing or chemistry alone. It's fate. It's about two people so implausibly meant to be together that time itself, death itself, or even destiny itself can't separate them from one another. These are the kinds of stories that make you think that soulmates exist — not because they are ideal, but because they keep finding each other again and again, in every life, in every heartbreak, in every moment of stillness that whispers with a voice that says, "You were always mine." Below are 12 Korean dramas that don't just show love — they prove that soulmates exist.

1. Goblin (Guardian: The Lonely and Great God) (2016–2017)

What's more soulmate-conditioned than a eternal goblin searching for his bride for 900 years? Gong Yoo and Kim Go-eun's doomed love story is rich with magic, sorrow, resurrection, and poetic longing. Each moment is fated — and when it ends, you're sure of forever.

2. Crash Landing on You (2019–2020)

When South Korean heiress Seol-jang crashes unintentionally in North Korea, the furthest thing on her mind is finding her soulmate. Nevertheless, Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin's on-screen chemistry disregards political borders and boundaries. Theirs is one of an unbeatable destiny — like two hearts destined for one another even before they were conceived, resisting even seemingly insurmountable events.

3. Hotel Del Luna (2019)

Spectral love between mortals and spirits? Yes. IU's ghost hotel owner and Yeo Jin-goo's flesh manager conjure up a love that tastes so old, so otherworldly. It is one of torturous pain and the slow tick of centuries — a love that unfolds over ages and lingers like a haunting melody in your own skeleton.

4. Twenty-Five Twenty-One (2022)

This melodrama isn't about eternally loving — it's about your soulmate, the one you come to know in the most important stage of your life. Kim Tae-ri and Nam Joo-hyuk's story is heart-wrenchingly honest. Soulmates aren't individuals you arrive at — they're sometimes people who shape you.

5. A Time Called You (2023)

Time travel, fate, and a love that spans decades — this drama screams soulmate energy. When timelines become entangled and identities become confused, one thing is certain: love that won't perish. Jeon Yeo-been and Ahn Hyo-seop's love is unforgettable and heartbreakingly meant to be.

6. My Love from the Star (2013–2014)

What do you get when an extraterrestrial who is 400 years old falls in love with a present-day actress? You have one of K-drama's greatest on-screen couples. Jun Ji-hyun and Kim Soo-hyun share a love so immense that it defies time, space, and logic — because when you and your soulmate are meant to be, the universe itself bends towards you.

7. The King: Eternal Monarch (2020)

Parallel universes. Alternate timelines. A king who jumps between dimensions to meet the woman he's dreamed of. Lee Min-ho and Kim Go-eun take destiny to new heights in this sweeping sci-fi romance that shows there's no such thing as true love trapped in reality.

8. Doom at Your Service (2021)

He's destruction personified. She's dying and has nothing to lose. Their romance is on a slow burn, agonizing, and drenched in fate. Park Min-young and Song Chang-ki make what could have been an weep fest love story a real emotionally charged one about two troubled souls comforting each other.

9. You Are My Spring (2021)

Not all soulmates meet each other under sunshine. Some meet each other in the dark — in trauma, in pain, in fear. This drama is about healing and love between two people who never expected to deserve it. Their connection is fragile but real — a gentle, balmy kind of fate.

10. Angel's Last Mission: Love (2019)

A ballerina with a lost will to live. An angelic messenger who has descended to seek her love. What if, though, that love… is him? Shin Hye-sun and Kim Myung-soo cast their magic spell in this fantasy romance on the brink of tragedy and softness. It's soulmate feels with wings and fate.

11. While You Were Sleeping (2017)
