Korean Dramas!

By RuzlatPublished 9 months ago 3 min read

Let's be real—true love in real life is messy, confusing, and most often, disappointing. But Korean dramas? They give us the types of love stories we wish we had. The type that leaves you breathless, makes you sob, and makes your heart feel something again. If you've been waiting for a love story that feels like fate, like poetry, like the world around them came to a halt—these shows are exactly what you've been waiting for.

Here are 12 unforgettable Korean dramas where love is larger than life itself.

1. Crash Landing on You

A drop from the heavens becomes the start of a transcendent love. Yoon Se-ri and Captain Ri Jeong-hyeok transcend political boundaries and emotional barriers to reach each other. Their story isn't just one of ill-fated love—it's one of choosing each other despite the world telling them they can't.

2. Goblin (Guardian: The Lonely and Great God)

Kim Shin waited centuries for centuries to come to meet the individual who has the ability to break his curse of immortality. Ji Eun-tak is that individual—and their romance? Epic, eternal, heartbreakingly beautiful. Few dramas have executed the idea of "fated love" as beautifully heartbreakingly as this series.

3. It's Okay to Not Be Okay

This drama rewrites romance. Moon Gang-tae and Ko Moon-young both have a deep emotional scar, but it's not about attraction, it's about healing, learning, and forgiving. At times, love won't save you—it teaches you how to save yourself.

4. Twenty-Five Twenty-One

Love in your young years is not the same. Na Hee-do and Baek Yi-jin's heart-wrenching romance retains that fleeting, all-consumed type of love—the one that changes you irreparably, even if it doesn't last. It is not just a romance; it is a memory that you will never want to let go of.

5. My Love From the Star

He’s an alien. She’s a superstar. And somehow, they’re perfect for each other. This drama brings humor, sci-fi, and swoon-worthy moments into a story that proves love can quite literally be out of this world. Do Min-joon and Cheon Song-yi’s chemistry is unforgettable.

6. Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo

If epic, historical, soul-crushing romance is your thing—prepare your heart. Go Ha-jin wakes up in the Goryeo era and falls for the enigmatic Wang So. Their love is passionate, painful, and beautifully doomed. You’ll cry. A lot. And you’ll thank them for it.

7. When the Camellia Blooms

Dong-baek is a single mother who just wants to live in peace—until Hwang Yong-sik crashes in like a storm, wanting to love her fiercely and openly. This is a warm, real, and hopeful drama. It proves that love does not have to crash in loudly to be powerful.

8. Extraordinary Attorney Woo

Woo Young-woo is no ordinary heroine, and Lee Jun-ho does not fall in love in the conventional manner. Their love story is kind, empathetic, and extremely emotional. To watch them fall in love is to be reminded that love need not be loud to be revolutionary.

9. Reply 1988

This isn't one love story—it's twelve. Reply 1988 encapsulates the sensation of coming of age with friends, family, and unspoken crushes that develop into something greater. It's nostalgia, heartbreak, and warmth packaged into one unforgettable experience.

10. Hotel Del Luna

Jang Man-wol is the queen of grudges and beautiful fashion. Goo Chan-sung is the man courageous enough to love her despite it all. Their ghost romance walks on the brink of life and death—and wonderfully, it feels more real than anything else on TV.

11. Something in the Rain

Slow, soft, and painful truth. This noona romance between Yoon Jin-ah and Seo Joon-hee is all about the stuff that makes real love difficult—and impossible to resist. It's complicated. It's tender. And it feels like it can belong to you tomorrow.

12. Youth of May

This is a romance that is tender, radiant, and in the end, heartbreaking. It occurs during a period of political unrest, and Hee-tae and Myung-hee's love blossoms in the midst of the upheaval. It's the kind of tale that makes you enjoy every second—because you know it simply cannot go on forever.
