The King’s Affection / 연모 (2021)

Set in the Joseon Dynasty, this series was one of the most shocking watches last year because before you could get frustrated and leave the Korean drama mid-watch, the historical series takes a sharp 180 and takes such an interesting turn that you wouldn’t be able to stop watching it after that.

Following Park Eun-bin’s Lee Hwi who has to live the life of her twin brother to hide a terrible secret, the series is filled with the passions of a secret love story hidden away from the public’s eye as well as the interesting twists and turns Hwi’s own life takes as she tries not to end up murdered. This one will keep you reeling long after it’s over.

Tomorrow / 내일 (2022)

Still ongoing, Tomorrow has an interesting storyline that will intrigue people who are tired of romantic comedies. Although the comedy angle is still there, the drama deals with extremely heavy themes that will keep you feeling conflicted.

The story follows Choi Jun-woong who ends up in Jumadeung after landing in a coma following an accident. There, he starts working with the Risk Management Team with two other Grim Reapers to stop suicide cases. The plot is extremely shocking but the individual stories and how they stitch the core characters and their lives together make it a very interesting watch.
