Korean dramas have taken over the global scene. Most of us has watched a kdrama or two. You may have joined the craze of the Squid Game or you may have been a kdrama tita who have been a fan for so long.

I love watching kdrama. I’ve been watching since I was 12 and I’m not a teenager anymore.

Here are some of the kdramas that I have watched that you may love or you may have watched too. This list is a recommendation or maybe a list for you to reminisce the past kdramas you have enjoyed and loved.

These kdramas in the list will surely give you warmth.

1. Hospital Playlist

The title speaks for itself. It is a medical drama. But it is not your typical Korean medical drama that focuses on the medical side itself. Hospital playlist focuses on the life of the doctors, nurses, other hospital staff, patients and their families. It does not focus on the thrill of complicated surgeries, rare diseases and out of the world skilled surgeons. It gives the spotlight on what happens behind the scenes. The difficulties of resident doctors, the challenges of every professional – those that you may not know. Yes, it helps us see that everyone has their own battles. This drama will help us be kinder to others and to ourselves

It is my favorite kdrama because it just warms your heart watching everyone overcome their struggles. It teaches us that no matter how hard the day is, we can see a light at the end of it.

2. Run On

This Korean drama may not have trended like all the other kdramas. But, this is a worth the watch. A hidden gem, you may say. A track and field athlete and a translator cross paths and they gradually change themselves for the better. One is someone who always puts others first before himself. He lost his career as a national athlete by saving a bullied teammate. But, he slowly learns to love himself when he met the translator. And the translator, on the other hand is someone who have always been alone and independent. But, when the athlete came into her life, she opens up herself gradually.

This is just a simple kdrama with interesting characters. It is worthwhile watching their character developments. Run on have its fair share of comedic relief too. The side couple will surely make you hooked too.

3. Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha

This kdrama only ended recently. This is just a simple lovestory in a seaside town. This showcases the beauty of the town and the beauty of its people. Another drama that teaches us about life and other struggles.

A dentist opens up a dental clinic in a seaside town where most residents are old people. She meets a man that does all kinds of job. They have a love and hate relationship at first but as they know each other, they become much closer. They helped each other become better persons.

A love story in a seaside town of a couple with so much chemistry. Surely, you will not t be bored.

4. School 2018

Unlike the former School 2016, this did not become that much popular in the community. But there were a group that hyped this up. And surely, it deserved the hype. As the title says, it is set in school with the students as its main characters.

If you’re a student like me, you will most likely relate to the main characters. The heavy burden of deciding your future at a young age is a silent struggle but all of us face. Family problems, financial problems and conflicts with friends makes us hard to dream and pursue our dream. Watch how the characters push themselves and get inspired

5. Our Beloved Summer

This is an on-going kdrama and worth the everyday wait. This is a shameless promotion. I hope you try to watch this rom-com kind of kdrama.

And that ends the list. Hope you try something here.
