Remember when international fans had to resort to BitTorrent to watch Korean dramas? (Ah, the Struggle) That's definitely not the case anymore, as access to Korean Dramas has definitely expanded with an extremely strong presence globally. A platform that has helped this strength in presence is none other than Netflix.

Netflix now has its own category and puts up big budgets for K-dramas, and we are able to stream a plethora of our favorite Korean dramas straight from the streaming app. With K-Dramas becoming bigger and bigger globally, Netflix has been recently releasing a lot of Netflix Originals, which means they are not necessarily being streamed on television but are exclusively on Netflix.

This shift in the paradigm was a challenge for Korea, as most K-dramas are usually aired on television twice a week, instead of the entire season or the entire series being released at once, like Netflix. However, that was an unnecessary fear as Netflix Original K-Dramas have been absolutely killing it! By exploring new genres and having fewer restrictions, Korean entertainment has been able to expand even further into themes and genres that Korean Dramas aired on television could have never even imagined before.

Today, we are going to take a look at some K-Dramas that are "MUST-WATCH" and binge-worthy. Even if you don't want to binge-watch, you will most likely see yourself awake at 5 A.M. trying to finish up the last episode of one of the dramas on this list. So grab your popcorn, and let's check out some binge-worthy K-Dramas on the most popular television streaming site!
