The fact is, we’re all stuck at home (seriously, stay at home). And whilst in our minds we might dream of starting and finishing Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall trilogy, or even re-reading all the Game of Thrones books, the reality is that we will all end up on Netflix.
After hours of looking at screens and the faces of our colleagues and friends on video calls, the inevitable will happen, and we will spend the evening winding down looking at yet another screen. So. You’ve watched ‘Love Is Blind’, you’ve even gone back and watched all the UK series of ‘Love Island’ from start to finish. You’ve watched every single tolerable romcom there is (including the Netflix originals), and you are starting to despair that you might actually have reached the end of the internet. You haven’t. In fact, you haven’t even gotten to the best part of it yet.
Enter: K dramas. Specifically, South Korean dramas. If you have the superhuman ability to multitask (read subtitles and watch the screen at the same time – really not difficult at all), if you love TV shows with high-drama, excessive drinking, impossibly beautiful people and titles that make absolutely no sense, then K dramas are here for you.
They are the single greatest addition Netflix has ever made to their streaming service, and there are over fifty of them, ready and waiting just for you. But in case you feel sceptical, or even overwhelmed by the sheer volume and length (episodes range from an hour to and hour and half each, and between 16-24 episodes per season, though there’s usually on one per drama) of them, I’m here to tell you about the best K dramas on Netflix to watch right now, tried and tested by yours truly. You’re welcome.
