Here Are The 5 K-Dramas That Koreans Can't Get Enough Of
When it comes to their taste of K-dramas, Koreans have their own list to watch as they differ from international viewers. In the data gathered by DKDKTV, they asked Koreans what shows they can't get enough of (and we totally agree!).
Here are the five K-dramas that they tuned in every episode.
My Unfamiliar Family
tvN's "My Unfamiliar Family" follows the story of middle child Kim Eun Hee, her two other siblings, and older parents. As her family slowly begins to shatter due to secrets that have been hidden for a long time. Eventually, the secrets begin to pour out uncontrollably.
Each secret that has been kept is quite shocking, boiling down to a family member's birth, living in two houses, and the sexual identity of a spouse. Every episode gives unexpected twists, and as the drama comes to an end, they find support for their solitude with one another.
