1. The Moonlight You Left Behind

Starring: Lee Do-hyun & Kim Tae-ri

This sad, slow-burning romance is about a man who cannot move on and a woman who refuses to be a memory. With poetic dialogue and breathtaking cinematography, this drama is one of the most talked-about emotional rollercoasters of the year.

2. Flame of My Youth

Starring: Park Bo-gum & Roh Yoon-seo

Think Reply 1988 meets Our Beloved Summer, but more melodramatic. A story about first love, timed perfectly with the seasons of youth and falling apart—only to wonder, "What if we met now instead?"

3. Letters to My Future Love

Starring: Im Si-wan & Shin Ye-eun

A romance through letters that transcends time. Two souls connect and fall in love without laying eyes on each other—until fate puts them in the same timeline. It's heartbreaking and healing at the same time.

4. Love Practice

Starring: Song Kang & Go Youn-jung

A neurodivergent lead attempting to learn how to "do" dating meets another person who never quite got it right either. This surprisingly heartwarming drama is about communication, vulnerability, and second chances at navigating love.

5. Do You Even Know You Loved Me?

Starring: Nam Joo-hyuk & Jo Bo-ah

A tale of missed timing, regret, and that one person you just cannot stop bumping into—until you finally realize why. This one hurts, but in the best way possible.

6. Soundtrack of Us

Starring: Lee Jae-wook & Kim Se-jeong

A music producer and a broken-hearted songwriter collide in the most unexpected way. Their songs, laughter, and trauma tell a love story that unfolds as a series of songs—each episode a bittersweet mixtape.

7. Love Reset

Starring: Cha Eun-woo & Lee Yoo-mi

Ever wished you could restart your love life? This sci-fi romance asks what if you erase memories of an ex… only to fall for them all over again. It's quirky, existential, and painfully romantic.

8. This Love Isn't a Game

Starring: Ahn Hyo-seop & Park Ju-hyun

Two pro gamers are caught up in a fake dating scandal—only the sparks are very real. Diabolically amusing misunderstandings and sincere emotional development make this enemies-to-lovers drama so irresistibly compelling.

9. Call Me After Midnight

Starring: Kim Woo-bin & Kim Ji-won

An anonymous call becomes the lifeline for two lonely people who pour their hearts out about everything—except their real names. It's mystical, soulful, and all about the voice that ends up feeling like home.

10. How to Be Loved

Starring: Ryu Jun-yeol & Kim Hye-yoon

Not everyone learns how to give or get love while growing up. This quietly potent drama tracks emotional abandonment, trust formation, and healing that occurs when somebody eventually notices you.

11. When You Were Mine

Starring: Woo Do-hwan & Lee Da-in

A couple breaks up after college, thinking it's for the best. Years later, they're pulled into a work project that forces them to confront every emotion they've buried. Second-chance romance? More like third and fourth—but it's worth it.

12. Your Side of the Story

Starring: Kim Min-jae & Moon Ga-young

Told in alternating points of view, this drama explores how two people can remember the same love story in very different ways. It's an adult, honest exploration of relationships, and why being "right" isn't always going to make you a winner in love.
