AKP STAFF

There are excellent and exceptional Korean drama series that display excellent storylines and plots, gaining popularity and support from domestic viewers and even international fans. Because of the extreme demand, some of these dramas are distributed through streaming platforms for more fans to have access.

A good list.

It would have been even better if for each of the original shows the country of origin was added.
