Christmas is over sadly, but it is now 2022, a new year filled with excitement and anticipation. Moreover, another holiday is coming up soon, Chinese New Year! What would you do during that one-week-long holiday if you don’t need to visit relatives? Well, you could go binge-watch some K-dramas. Then what are some good K-dramas that you can watch during the holiday?
1. Strong Woman Do Bong Soon
This is a Kdrama regarding a woman called Bong Soon, which has superhuman strength that is hereditary and passed down only to the women in the family. This show is about the difficulties she goes through, including dealing with a kidnapper, losing her powers, and finding love. The actress acting out Bong Soon is Park Bo-young, who is a famous and fabulous actress that can evoke strong emotions within the audience as well as entrance people with her cute looks and personality.
2. Hotel Del Luna
Do you know who IU is? She is an amazing singer and an actress who is acting out the female lead Jang Manwol in this show. She is the owner of Guest House of the Moon, which is a hotel for ghosts, and occasionally some humans too. She is chained between the land of the living and the land of the dead by the Moon Tree, and can only leave after the tree blossoms. But due to the pain and resentment in her heart, the tree hasn’t bloomed for 1,300 years. But when Gu Chanseong, the male lead, appears, everything changes. It is a scary love story, so if you want a little bit of romance with a few thrills too, this is the perfect K-drama for you.
3. True Beauty
Do you know who Cha Eunwoo is? Yep, another amazing singer and actor. He acts as the male lead for this K-drama, which focuses on school life, music, celebrity fame, as well as romance. It all revolves around the female lead Jugyeong, who was “ugly” but due to make-up, became the prettiest girl in the school. To find out the different drama that happens along with a love triangle, watch this Kdrama!
4. Weight-lifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo
This Kdrama is about a female weightlifter called Bok Joo, and a male lead called Joon-Hyung who is a swimmer with numerous false start disqualifications. This Kdrama is full of comedy as well as love, which would make you die of laughter as well as a smile from the cuteness of the romance too.
5. My Love From The Star
This Kdrama is one of the most famous K-dramas out of them all. It was the first Kdrama a lot of people ever watched and boosted the ratings of K-dramas as a whole too. If you still didn’t watch it, what are you doing? Go watch it now! There will be no spoilers, so you can love and enjoy the whole show!
Finally, through my introductions of these K-dramas, I hope that you will find one that you like, and even if you don’t, there are way more other K-dramas that are really interesting too. Hope that you will have fun during the upcoming holidays, as well as taking a look at these recommendations!
