2020 might not be our year but thanks to these new Korean Dramas, we found an escape from
the reality we all didn’t see coming.
Some of you might think this topic is familiar. Well, you’re right! We have a previous video
on the same topic and if you haven’t watched it yet, we’ll leave the link in the description
below. Now let’s dive right in and check out twelve of this year’s greatest dramas
that South Korea has gifted us.
First on our list is a drama that will exercise your brain. Memorist will put viewers through
a constant mind game and pique your curiosity. The twists in this drama are well-thought-out
and makes for an excellent mystery crime drama. Join two highly skilled professionals combining
their talents to solve a murder case. Our male lead has a unique ability to read a person’s
memory just by being in contact with them. His supernatural power definitely helps him
become a famous detective. Entering his life is a senior superintendent who doesn’t need
special powers to excel in her work. So while the pandemic surely has people feeling like

Earning a spot on our list is a show about an adorable chestnut-haired man. The life
of a student unexpectedly takes a sharp turn that will change everything. Trying to get
back on his feet and get vengeance on those who wronged him, our male lead will open his
own pub. Helping him create a successful business is his staff that consists of different personalities.
Who’s wishing that they can be part of the DanBam squad? We are! Itaewon Class will show viewers that
diversity is not a hindrance. Revenge plots may seem repetitive sometimes
but Itaewon Class stands out because it deals with the issues of today and has a strong love triangle
that may have the citizens of DramaLand choosing sides.
A student who excels in his studies keeps himself busy outside of class, and no, it
isn’t because he has extracurricular activities at school. Instead, our model student gets
involved in crimes in order to pay for his tuition. Not something you would expect him
to do, but desperate times have brought him to this situation.
Extracurricular has gotten rid of the overly cute and cliché high school scenes and brings
forth a dark and sinister high school drama story.
Next on our list is a drama based on a popular webtoon, Mystic Pop-Up Bar. If you think the
pop-up bar in this drama looks suspicious, you are definitely right. Inside this bar
is a very old woman who appears like a normal young person, and her manager. Joining them
is an innocent part time worker with a special ability that will help the bar owner. Together,
they solve the problems of their customers through their dreams.
Yook Sung Jae worked on a drama before he entered the military, and that drama was Mystic
Pop-Up Bar. This K-pop idol showed us how talented he was through his excellent acting
in this show. Mystic Pop-Up Bar is a fantasy-comedy drama filled with the different stories of
the lead characters and customers that make viewers emotional.
A chance to go back in time is offered to ten people
to go back in time 1 year. So life changes for the better for a detective
but after seven years, he discovers mysterious things about the group of people he travelled
back in time with. 365: Repeat the Year is a mystery drama that
will surely capture the interest of its viewers. A lot can happen and change in one year. Another
reason to watch this drama is the excellent acting the actors serve us. Viewers will love
the chemistry and connection the characters have.
Stranger is up for another season. In the second season of this drama, we’ll be watching
the prosecutor’s office come face to face with the police. Discretionary power over
investigations is what the prosecutors want, but the police want to be independent of the
prosecutor’s office and gain complete investigative authority. With this ongoing problem, let’s
all watch how this drama will unfold. Here’s a mystery thriller drama that is
worth binge-watching. Of course, you have to watch Season 1 first to truly appreciate
the second season. With an amazing cast that brings the story to life, here’s a drama
that brings our watching experience to a whole new level with its well written plot. Now
go and experience the suspense in every episode of Stranger 2.
Dr. Romantic is back with the iconic white suits of doctors. Trying to run a hospital, a chief surgeon finds himself meeting two people who remind him of his former students.

surgeries, will join the surgeon in his work. With this unlikely group of people, what will
happen to this hospital? Not all second seasons are great but Dr. Romantic
surely delivered us a story that captured our hearts. With the right balance of drama

these two achieve a successful business? Be sure to watch to find out!
In Season 1, rumors of the King’s illness spread, and we also find out that there is
a mysterious plague going on. Now in Season 2, the crown prince and everybody are still
on their feet trying to survive the zombies, but now things are getting more intense. The
crown prince will face twice as many challenges, the physician will look for a cure, and the
kingdom’s queen will cause even greater twists in this drama.
