If you’re looking to expand your Netflix queue, consider a foray into K-dramas. After all, Korean content has been dominating the entertainment industry recently — not to mention the beauty space — from K-pop septet BTStopping the charts to films like Minari and Parasitebagging Academy Awards. Whether you’re already a fan or new to the genre, Netflix offers a wide range of K-drama titles to suit whatever you’re in the mood for — be it action, horror, comedy, or romance, the cornerstone of K-drama.
Enter: this list of 17 of the best K-dramas to stream on Netflix right now. From an anti-hero mafia lawyer doing good by being bad (Vincenzo) to a Netflix Original zombie period drama set in the 1600s (Kingdom), there’s a lot to choose from. This list also includes titles featuring some of the most-followed actors and idols in South Korea today, including Lee Min-ho in the classic Boys Over Flowers, Park Seo-joon in Itaewon Class, and Bae Suzy from K-pop’s Miss A in Start-Up. Of course, the list is sprinkled with romance options, including high-school set stories for a mega-dose of escapism and first-love butterflies.
There’s much to love about K-dramas: the innovative meet-cutes, the subtlety and slow build of romance, and the endless fashion and K-beauty inspiration. Plus, with titles set against the backdrop of Seoul’s vibrant sights, viewers can do some vicarious traveling. Here are 17 Korean dramas streaming on Netflix. To paraphrase Parasite director Bong Joon-ho at the 2020 Golden Globes, don’t let subtitles get in the way.
