본문
There are thousands of K-Dramas out there and more being made every single day. As much as we may desperately want to, we can’t watch every drama ever made, and often you could feel depressed at the rather low number of K-Dramas you’ve completed. We get it.
So, if you’re busy and only have a couple of hours of free time, absolutely cannot convince yourself to start a 25 episode drama, just want something to watch, or want to increase the overall number of dramas you’ve watched, this is the list for you! Let’s test your bingeing abilities.
