If you’re not familiar with K-dramas, you’re missing out on an awful lot. K-dramas have swept the international streaming landscape by storm with their penchant for engaging romance and versatility. Originally, more famous for its romance genre selection, K-dramas have managed to branch out into genres like action, horror, adventure, fantasy, historical drama, medical drama, and the paranormal as well.
Things like the movie Parasite coming to the big screen are a great example of how the international scene is suddenly realizing the amazing things going on in South Korean film and entertainment. The amount of new K-dramas (and even K-drama Netflix Originals) increasingly pouring into the Netflix queue is proof that it’s now K-drama’s time to shine.

It features Song Jong Ho in the story of a film producer’s recently revived love life. Although single mother and film producer No Ae Jung has been alone for fourteen years, she suddenly finds herself bombarded with four possible suitors.
Each man has his own appeal and No Ae Jung finds herself torn. If any at all, which man will she choose?
Hospital Playlist
Hospital Playlist is a Netflix original. Many Korean doctor dramas have done well and there’s no reason this one shouldn’t do the same. It promotes itself as a slice of life: the story of five doctors who have been best buds since 1999. Having a profession that puts them in the face of life and death on the daily basis really solidifies the bonds between these doctor friends.

Sisyphus: The Myth
Not a lot has been announced about this drama. Even the synopsis has yet to be released.
