With the coronavirus pandemic, while we are socially distant, we can make most of our time indoors by binging some great K-dramas on Netflix.

As the quarantines and lockdowns stretch some more, you may feel like you have already seen everything on Netflix and scrambling to figure out what to do during self-isolation. Voila! you’ve got K-dramas on your Netflix!

Never fear: Netflix is home to more good shows and gripping characters as long as you are willing to try something different. There are still plenty of shows that maybe you haven’t seen yet. 

Lately, movies and TV shows from South Korea have become incredibly popular all over the world, just like K-pop music. Korean pop culture is still totally taking over the world even when we can’t understand their language. Luckily, subtitles are the way to go! 

By now, you are all familiar with K-dramas, especially after Parasite’s epic win at Oscars this year. Since then, Korean television dramas like Crash Landing on You, Memories of Alhambra has become quite popular! Not all Korean Netflix originals and series are dramatic, some are romantic, suspenseful, and some even are zombie dramas. The best part, you can watch Korean television drama on Netflix!

And now, even KTO is promoting South Korea through the eyes of Netflix!

The Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) has released a promotional video titled “Explore Korea,” made in collaboration with Netflix, using a compilation of clips of Korea shown in films and dramas on the global online streaming platform. The clip shows off the traditional clothing and palaces of the Joseon Dynasty via “Kingdom”, while scenes from “Streetfood: Asia” feature the Korean culinary arts!

Netflix has even added “Explore Korea” as a new search category to make the original contents featured in the clip accessible to its users!

We have pulled out some of the most entertaining and binge-worthy K-dramas on Netflix. Whatever sort of show you are seeking, there’s sure to be something that you find entertaining.

Five things you must get ready before getting down for a binge-watching session of K-dramas

  • Popcorn or snacks are a must! Don’t forget your favorite drink! To make it more K-inspired, you can choose Korean snacks and drinks to accompany your Netflix session. 
  • Tissue paper for tears! Some K-dramas are real tear-jerkers. 
  • Blankets just in case we binge-watch till dawn!
  • Obviously, the lights need to be dimmed to create a better atmosphere. 
  • Make sure you catch the hotspots of Seoul from your couch during the drama!
