4 Criminally Underrated K-dramas To Stream: ‘Mask Girl,’ ‘Connect,’ More!
With brand new works every month, the Hallyu scene certainly has undiscovered gems that are being overlooked by fans, receiving little to no traction compared to others.
If you don't have a new drama to watch this week, then here are four amazing suggestions from the criminally underrated category that you might want to check out.
From Nana's "Mask Girl" to Jung Hae In's "Connect," here are the K-dramas you should watch this week.
'The Third Charm'
Esom and Seo Kang Joon's 2018 rom-com drama "The Third Charm" certainly didn't receive a massive reception during its debut.
However, it's one of the best works of the two actors where they played a long-time couple with opposing personalities who met by chance on a group blind date in their 20s.
The series didn't only showcase Esom and Seo Kang Joon's chemistry but also decorated prime time with their realistic stories about life, romance and dreams. Check it out now on Viu.
'The Law Cafe'
"A Korean Odyssey" stars Lee Se Young and Lee Seung Gi reunited in 2022 in the legal romance drama "The Law Cafe" to fans' delight.
The two transformed into attorneys who possess hot heads and hilarious personalities. Lee Se Young became a lawyer who sells coffee in a shop owned by her ex-lover Lee Seung Gi.

Although the two are two of the most sought-after actors of their generation, "The Law Cafe" failed to attract viewers. During its broadcast, the series recorded fairly average results.
However, "The Law Cafe" has a lot to offer as it is informative about the law, and is also jam-packed with romance, comedy and angst elements. Check it out on Viu.
'Mask Girl'
Nana and Go Hyun Jung's off-beat drama "Mask Girl" is among the newest releases on Netflix this year.
The two gave life to the eccentric office worker who spices up her life as a cam girl at night. When a mysterious man disappears, she becomes the prime suspect in a murder case.
"Mask Girl" is a work filled with twists and turns, and its linear narration is among its best features that Netflix and K-drama fans should check out at least once in their lives.
'Connect'
Earlier this 2023, Jung Hae In returned with the thriller series "Connect" where he transformed into Ha Dong Soo.
He is an immortal human whose eyes get stolen by a gang of organ harvesters. In order to protect its future victims, he begins to hunt down the serial killer.
It's Jung Hae In's drama that is very much different from most of his works, and it's certainly worth watching. Catch "Connect" on Disney+ now.
