There are two types of people in the world: people who watch K-Dramas… and people who haven’t started yet.
If you’re new to K-Dramas, welcome! Prepare for emotional damage, swoon-worthy love stories, gorgeous costumes, and the sudden urge to stay up until 2 a.m. watching “just one more episode.”
To kick off your Romantic Comedy Starter Pack, these four series deliver exactly what you want: unforgettable chemistry, dramatic declarations of love, and heroes that be heroing (aka falling hard for the heroine and doing everything to protect her).
Let’s begin.

“MY LOVE FROM THE STAR”
A Romance That’s Literally Out of This World
Imagine living on Earth for 400 years and trying very hard not to get emotionally attached to humans.
Now imagine falling for the most dramatic, chaotic, self-absorbed actress in Seoul while a serial killer is on the loose.
That’s the ridiculous setup of “My Love from the Star”, where an alien who’s been quietly blending in for centuries finds his perfectly organized life completely wrecked by a loud, glamorous neighbor who refuses to mind her own business and has a hard time staying alive.
And we love it.
This drama has a slow-burn hate-to-love romance that quickly became one of the most iconic couples in K-drama history. If you only watch one fantasy romance, start here.
“SHE WAS PRETTY”
The Glow-Up Rom-Com You Didn’t Know You Needed
We’ve all wondered what would happen if we ran into our childhood crush years later. In “She Was Pretty”, the answer is: chaos.
Once a beautiful and popular girl, our heroine grows up convinced she’s lost her sparkle. Meanwhile, the shy, lovingly chubby boy she once adored has turned into a handsome magazine editor with absolutely no idea she’s standing right in front of him.
Cue mistaken identities, workplace antics, and two extremely lovable leads. If you enjoy romantic comedies where everyone is slightly messy but very lovable, this one is pure comfort TV.
“YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL”
A Classic Chaotic K-Drama Romance
In the heyday of identity-switching K-Dramas, “You’re Beautiful” was right up there battling it out at the top.
In this drama, a kindhearted young woman, training to be a nun, pretends to be her twin brother so he can debut in a wildly popular idol band. Sounds simple enough—until she has to live in a house full of very attractive male celebrities who slowly start realizing something isn’t quite adding up.
This drama is a K-Drama classic for a reason. Fair warning: you may develop strong opinions about which band member deserved her heart.
Check out these dramas this spring break and stay tuned for Part 2 of our Romantic Comedy K-Drama Starter Pack!
