For the past few years, the Korean wave has gone way beyond simply entertaining audiences with its movies and television shows. With the massive influence on food, music, beauty, and especially fashion, K-dramas have pretty much become a global phenomenon for their kind of presentation.
Popular Movie Analyst cum Business Transformation Expert Hirav Shah says, “The viewing for K-dramas on Netflix in India increased more than 600% in 2021 over 2020. We love their soppy soaps and gentle romances, their thrillers and intense cinema, their music, and even their food. The K way of life has the middle and upper-class of our country in thrall; a ‘we love everything about South Korea’ movement led primarily by its small screen entertainment industry that has found the unlikeliest loyalists here.”
If you are a die-hard K-dramas, Hirav Shah brings you a list of five K-dramas you probably missed.
