Romantic-comedy drama every fan of Korean Drama should watch during lockdown
There were the days when ‘K’ serials meant Indian tear-jerkers or confusing family dramas with complicated ‘memory loss’ plots and endless twists of reincarnation. The new K-drama lovers don’t just stop at watching the dramas: they pick up the language, explore the food and immerse themselves in the culture — of Korea. Several fans on social media wrote on social media about Korean dramas. They loved it.
