It is here, and it is official. K-dramas have finally broken through the pop culture glass ceiling and are dominating the world of television. Well, that is actually not entirely accurate since K-dramas have been dominating streaming services too. Netflix alone has begun producing and streaming original K-dramas to cater to the rapidly growing audience for the genre. And why wouldn't they? K-dramas bring something very mush original to the audience.

Previously, you only had the option of reading services like Wattpad if you wanted your fill of sappy, predictable romantic comedies. K-dramas took that a step further, and lo and behold, you can now actually watch your fill of melodramas and cliché plotlines. More and more new shows emerge every day, and we understand that it could be difficult to navigate your way through the genre, especially if you are new to it. From Hyun Bin's Crash Landing On You to Bae Suzy's Start-Up, Binge-Worthy Korean Dramas You Shouldn't Miss.

We have curated a list of 7 K-Dramas that you will most likely end up binge-watching, not that we blame you. So check out the list and get ready for a complete K-Drama experience!

Sci-Fi and monarchy, but throw in some romance too. Have we piqued your curiosity yet?
