What's Good On Netflix: Korean Drama Recommendations - Romcom Edition

A friend asked for a list of recommended Kdramas to watch, specifically romantic comedies. After years of refusing to join the Kdrama craze, she finally gave in when the pandemic hit, and the lockdown just went on forever. So she had a list of requirements: No fantasy and horror, and only those available on Netflix. She has a low tolerance for ghosts, but how can you not love Master’s Sun and Hotel Del Luna??? So I threw some that were part of her no-no’s, hoping she would muster the courage to overlook the semi-scary stuff and enjoy them as much as I did. 

I did not want the list to go to waste, so I decided to share it. I've since added some that I enjoyed that are not necessarily romcoms that are now available to watch that were not there when I initially created this list. 

This post will constantly be updated as more series are added to Netflix, so bookmark the page to keep posted. Prepare your snacks and drinks and enjoy binge-watching!🍿🥤
