A Beginner's Guide To Korean Dramas

Here are some things to know if you want to get into Korean Dramas! Warning: they're incredibly addictive.

Watch at least the first few episodes before making up your mind about the show.

Usually the first episode is either really weird or just not very good. It’s mostly just setting up the show. So make it past that, and you will enjoy it so much more!

Reading subtitles may take a little getting used to.

While watching KDramas you can go from laughter to crying in .4 seconds flat.

There may even be a bromance

...that is enough to cause you to sob uncontrollably on the floor for 3+ hours at a time.

There's almost always a second male lead who's perfect but doesn't get the girl.

I added this one because this is so common in Korean Dramas that often your heart will break along with the second male lead's.

So now you want to watch KDramas and you don't know how. Well you are in luck!

There are a good amount available on Netflix! And if you don’t have Netflix, I recommend making a free account on either DramaFever or Viki! (Both sites work similar to how Hulu works.)
