Now Korean dramas are increasingly popular with Indonesian netizens, not only newly released ones, but also old dramas that are still a favorite. You can see it from Korean movie watching apps like on Viu, Viki to Netflix. 

One of the activities loved by many people today is Korean drama. Moreover, since there are recommendations to stay at home, most people have enough free time to watch the various series starring Song Hye Kyo, Lee Min Ho, etc. In fact, not a few people have run out of watch lists while the new drama they are waiting for has not yet been released.

Well, if you feel that way, there's nothing wrong with watching old Korean dramas that came out a decade or two ago. These dramas are no less interesting than the dramas that are currently being discussed even though they have been released for a long time.

Korean foods to pair with your next K-drama

 

If there’s anything you can expect from a K-Drama, it’s a good food scene. Lavish spreads pop across the screen in plenty, whether it’s to welcome the neighbour back from a vacation or to mollycoddle the soon-to-be son-in-law. The steady presence of Korean food on screen may make you crave it off screen. So, here’s a guide on Korean food to pair with your next K-drama:

 

Boys over Flowers on Netflix 
Bibim Naengmyeon

 

 

This classic high-school love triangle has more masala packed than our desi Student of the Year 1 & 2 combined. The story revolves around two boys competing in a match of ice hockey to prove their mettle to their coy crush. Despite the cliché rich-guy-falls-for-average-girl storyline, it’s worth a watch. But not without some bibim naengmyeon, a long, chewy, handmade buckwheat ramen served in a spicy broth. It pairs well with the hot and spicy looks of international heartthrob Lee Min Ho.

Spoiler Alert: In a reverse macho twist, the heroine dives into a swimming pool to save one of the two heroes. Watch more to find out which one!

10 K-Drama Bad Boys With A Heart Of Gold

 

K-drama bad boys are not always the characters we get drawn to the most, but when they are able to show empathy, compassion, and true desire to love someone, we can’t help but soften up to their character. The bad boy is a trope that is pretty common in K-dramas, but here are a few who have left a lasting impression.

 

Goo Jun Pyo – “Boys Over Flowers”

In “Boys Over Flowers,” Goo Jun Pyo (Lee Min Ho) has got all the characteristics needed to be a chaebol. He’s good-looking, charming, popular, has a lot of friends, and is pretty arrogant. So it’s no wonder when Geum Jan Di (Ku Hye Sun) transfers to his school that he treats her horribly. He bullies her, which in turn, makes his fellow classmates bully her too. It takes a destined event and transformation for Jun Pyo to realize that his hate for her may not actually be hate, but genuine feelings of love.

 

 

The infamous Goo Jun Pyo and his inability to let anyone into his life is a character we are all familiar with. He’s got such a tough exterior, and despite being given everything he’s ever needed, he finds it very difficult to open up his heart to anyone. When Jan Di comes into his life, he doesn’t like her at first because she is so different from him, but once he realizes that these differences are what he is attracted to, he can’t help but give all of himself to her. His reformation is drastic as he vows to love her completely and finds it impossible to even be away from her.

Plus, with titles set against the backdrop of Seoul’s vibrant sights, viewers can do some vicarious traveling. Here are 17 Korean dramas streaming on Netflix. To paraphrase Parasite director Bong Joon-ho at the 2020 Golden Globes, don’t let subtitles get in the way.

 

Boys Over Flowers

The series that cemented Lee Min-ho’s status as a K-drama lead, the 2009 classic Boys Over Flowers is a high-school set romance following F4, a group of privileged boys at an elite school who, yes, named their pack. But bullying from their leader (Lee) has no effect on newcomer Geum Jan-di (Ku Hye-sun), and when she stands up to him, he (surprise, surprise) falls in love. Will he change his mean ways? Will she return his affection? Who named them F4? So many questions. A remake of the Taiwanese megahit Meteor Garden (2001), the series became an instant hit in South Korea.
