If cultivating a new love life isn’t in your plans, perhaps you can find a new love in romantic dramas by checking out these popular romantic K-Dramas.

Descendants Of The Sun 

This top-rated drama follows the lives of a surgeon and special forces officer. Kang Moyeon (Song Hyekyo) is sent to the fictional war-torn country Urk after refusing the romantic advances of a hospital chairman.

Mr. Queen

This 2020 gender-bending historical drama stars Shin Hyesun as Kim Soyong, a queen from the Joseon era. All is not what it seems with this queen. In reality, she is Jang Bonghwan (Choi Jinhyuk), a chef for the top politicians in the present day’s Blue House.

Heartstrings

Heartstrings is the oldest drama on this list, but that doesn’t mean you should pass it by. The drama follows Lee Shin (Jung Yonghwa) and his band The Stupid. He only cares for music and doesn’t wish to do anything that isn’t music-related, but all of that changes when he meets Lee Kyuwon (Park Shinhye). She’s a fellow university student majoring in traditional Korean music who is trying to live up to her grandfather’s expectations of being a prodigy. One day, Kyuwon goes to a concert put on by The Stupid with her friends, where she sees Lee Shin perform and is instantly attracted to him. This drama featured a few A-list actors at the beginning of their career, so if watching for the storyline doesn’t seem interesting, check it out to see how much your favorite actors have grown.
