FYI, These Are All the Best K-Dramas to Have on Your Radar in 2023

If you haven't already been sucked into the Korean drama craze (ahem, Squid Game), first, what have you even been doing? And second, 2023 is as good a time as ever to get started, 'cause there are SO many good K-dramas to watch rn. Tbh, we don't know what sort of magic the best Korean drama shows possess, but there's nothing like a K-drama to put your emotions and fan-girling tendencies into overdrive. Basically, if you're looking for a good laugh, a good cry, a good scare, or a good dose of butterflies in your stomach, then a Korean-language drama will probably give you your fix.

While there are libraries full of essential K-dramas from years past that deserve your attention, the past few years have brought some really good new options that belong to the canon. From silly romantic comedies to edge-of-your-seat thrillers, you'll definitely find something to your liking (and yes, they are absolutely worth the minimal effort it takes to read subtitles). In no particular order, here are some of the best Korean dramas that you can (and should!) stream right now, including popular K-dramas like Love Alarm, Sweet Home, and All of Us Are Dead.
