As the monotony in life set in and my routine rotated between classes, assignments and presentations, I looked for an escape from this tedious routine, I bumped into the world of Korean Dramas and there was no turning back. I would binge watch various series and honestly kdramas have become a part of my life since then.
It has been 5 years since I started watching kdramas and I still re-watch some of my favourite kdramas from time to time. As an avid kdrama watcher, I believe kdrama helps to deal with the stress in life, it makes you escape the monotony of life and offers a pleasant view of life. What I mostly like about kdramas is that the concepts are pretty unique and there is always a moral of the story. There are various genres that kdramas have to offer such as: Rom-Com, medical, mystery, thriller, crime, investigation, friendship, fantasy, supernatural, horror, slice of life, scientific, suspense and many more.
Over these 5 years, I was amazed by how each and every kdrama had a different and unique concept
and how every drama was unique in their own way.
Today I am going to talk about five of my favourite kdramas with unique storylines.
