2022 is the year we bring out our comfiest clothes and spend some quality time with our partners. With the pandemic disrupting most couples’ date night plans, it’s time to stay back at home, make some hot chocolate and go on a K-drama marathon. Every K-Drama loyalist knows, once you get on the Hallyu wave, it’s almost impossible to get off. This is the perfect time to introduce your special someone to the land of addictive shows and even a little bit of Aegyo (a way of talking and behaving in a cute, almost cringe manner).

Romantic K-Dramas

For all the couples who have a special place in their hearts for Rom-Com movies, this list is going to want you to finish it all in one go. With many heart-warming moments and even a few tear-jerking scenes, here is a must-watch list of iconic romantic K-dramas that are a must-watch for your date night in.

Crash Landing On You

The show that got a lot of people hooked on K-dramas, Crash Landing On You was the Boys Over Flowers of 2020. When a successful South Korean heiress gets into a paragliding accident and ends up in North Korea, in the arms of a handsome soldier, sparks are bound to fly. Starring Son Ye Jin and Hyun Bin, the soldier protects and hides the heiress while actively looking for a way to get her back home but soon finds himself falling deeply in love. The show is incomplete without the North Korean soldier troup who form a unique friendship with Son Ye Jin. A drama all about love, heartbreak, and fate, this show was one of the biggest grossing shows of 2020, creating a whole new Hallyu wave. One of the main reasons why their chemistry stood out was because behind the scenes they were falling in love for real. In this show of forbidden love, you feel emotions you’ve never felt before. Along with a stellar supporting cast, Crash Landing On You is the ultimate drama to start with.
