You might think watching Korean dramas and movies is a dying art form, but in actuality, there are still many great shows worth catching up on. In the ever-changing world of entertainment, it’s important to have a variety of options when it comes to entertainment. From K-drama series like The King 2 Hearts and Winter Sonata to highly anticipated blockbusters like A New Leaf and The Return of Superman, there are a number of fantastic TV shows that you should keep an eye on this year. Here is our list of the best korean dramas you should watch this year.
“The Return of Superman” (2019)
If you’re a die-hard fan of Korean cinema, you’re going to love “The Return of Superman.” The official film adaptation of the wildly popular web-drama, “The Return of Superman” is set to hit TV screens this January. But first, there’s the matter of resolving the cliffhanger from last year: Will villainous Clark Kent die or find a way to come back to life? The return of Superman movie news, you say? We’re already here for it.
“A Bittersweet Ending” (2019)
Dates and shows change, but endings remain the same in television: they’re always bittersweet. That’s why we love “A Bittersweet Ending,” the penultimate episode of “Winter Sonata,” which beautifully navigates the emotional spectrum from happiness to heartbreak. Amidst all the destruction and loss, the characters make one final effort to reach out and love on, finding solace in each other’s arms. We’re so ready for this series to be over!
“The Day the Sky Stood Still” (2019)
Yes, we’re officially taking “The Day the Sky Stood Still” off the list because it’s over. But it’s still our pick for the best korean drama of all time so there’s that. The original 1951 movie that inspired this series is still hugely relevant today, and the creators at JTBC have done an amazing job of adapting the source material for television. This “Day the Sky Stood Still” is nothing short of classic.
“60 Days in the Woods” (2019)
If you’re looking for a heartwarming, real-life drama about families, “60 Days in the Woods” is for you. The K-drama about a South Korean family going through a challenging period in their lives revolves around three generations of the Seol family — the patriarch, his two sons, and their families. Showing how generations can differ, the younger Seol members are shown to be more open-minded than their elders.
“The King 2 Hearts” (2019)
If you’re a die-hard fan of Korean dramas, you’re going to love “The King 2 Hearts.” The sequel to the 2016 hit TV drama “The King” is set to air on January 9, 2019. The first part of a highly anticipated K-drama series, it’s the story of a former soldier turned government official who falls for a woman working for the same agency that tracks him down. But is she actually his client?
“How to Be a Gentleman” (2019)
The K-drama “How to Be a Gentleman” is for the ladies. The story of a rich socialite who leaves his fortune to his butler, the show is also a period historical drama set in the 1920s, when rich people were suspected of having “slavery by another name.” The butler is expected to stay on duty 24/7 and never argue with the owner. Sounds like a job for the
