Here are four examples of famous, or soon-to-be famous dramas. Check out if your favorite is included. (Read also: Five fresh Korean dramas to obsess over) Cheese in the Trap ( 2016 ) Though it ended on a rather unsatisfying note, the 16-episode Cheese in the Trap is one of the most talked about adaptations of the year. It was adapted from a webtoon of the same name by author Sunkki and tells the story of Yoo Jung (Park Hae Jin), a handsome college senior who seemed perfect but actually has a darker side, and Hong Seol (Kim Go Eun), a smart girl who can see through him. Knowing that Seol knows about him, Yoo Jung becomes interested in her and asks her out, which then leads to the two discovering each other a little closer. Misaeng ( 2014 ) Based on a webtoon of the same name by Yoon Tae Ho, the 20-episode Misaeng went far outside the Korean drama clichés and gripped the nation’s interest as it focuses solely on the stressful realities of the Korean working class, without any love storylines. Jang Geu Rae (Im Si Wan) is an adult who is having a hard time finding a job as he only has a high school diploma. Although he finally gets accepted as an intern at a multinational company, he struggles along the way due to being regarded as incompetent.
