Despite its moniker, the term "K-drama" just refers to scripted television programming from South Korea and is not necessarily isolated to the country's weepy melodramas. There are countless comedy K-dramas that are genuinely hilarious, with a sense of humor that goes across cultures and language barriers. Indeed, some recent Korean romantic comedies and workplace sitcoms are among the best K-dramas of all time. An increasing number of Korean comedies are available to international audiences as the broader genre finds enormous success around the world.
Whether it's screwball workplace comedies or mismatched love stories where the laughs are just as potent as the romantic chemistry, there is a comedy K-drama for everyone. The nuances of South Korean culture obviously inform the context and gags, but the slapstick pratfalls and comical reactions are universal in their delivery. At the end of the day, funny is funny, and K-dramas are a testament to...

There are several incredible K-drama actors, and many of them have never acted in projects together. This is despite the fact that some actor pairings feel as though they would be perfect choices for any k-drama, fitting all sorts of different genres, covering everything from comedy to crime drama. Many of them have been the subject of perfect k-drama casting before, and with these co-stars they could be again.
Choosing co-stars for any show requires striking a delicate balance, finding what works about an actor's performance and amplifying that quality. It is this sort of chemistry and hard work that has resulted in some of the best k-dramas of all time. More great k-dramas could be made with these actor pairings, and hopefully viewers will have the opportunity to see them share the screen in the future.

As someone who has been a fan of K-dramas for many years, there are several actors I never get tired of watching. From boisterous romantic comedies to tragic thrillers, these actors have delivered outstanding performances in some of the best K-dramas of all time, improving their filmographies with every new release. Their commitment to their roles brings a vibrant addition to each new project, and I'm always excited to see what new characters these actors will take on next.
Netflix K-dramas such as Squid Game and The Glory have helped the K-drama genre to rise in popularity. I believe that actors have played a big part in this, as their delivery can often make or break a show. The K-drama genre is also incredibly diverse, and actors often have to stay on top of their game and push themselves to deliver the next best thing. While there are many who do this with great success,...

Nam Joo-Hyuk is definitely the internet boyfriend we deserve! Though fans are missing him dearly while he serves his mandatory service in the Korean military (as all able-bodied Korean men must by age 28), they're relying on his his dreamy roles in hit K-dramas like "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-Joo," "Start-Up," and "The Light in Your Eyes" to keep his face fresh in their minds.
Nam took his dreamboat status to a whole new level through his 2022 role as Yi-Jin on Netflix's romance-drama "Twenty-Five Twenty-One." Whether it's his undeniable chemistry with Kim Tae-ri's Na Hee-Do, the way he blushes adorably in the aspiring fencer's presence, his sad eyes whenever they're forced to part ways, or simply his million-dollar smile, Nam is all fans can think about ever since the show aired. And naturally, fans are wondering about the Korean heartthrob's relationship status. Is he still on the market?...
