What is Korean Drama/K-Drama?

To put it quite simply, they are shows produced in Korea. Although often center on the theme of romance, Korean Drama can also cover a wide range of genres, including comedy, thriller, mystery, horror, fantasy, action, and more.

Some shows touch on social issues and life concepts, such as mental health, bullying, and discrimination along with very heartfelt and emotional moments concerning family, friendship, love, sacrifice, duty, and honor.

That is why Korean Hollywood/Korean Hallyuwood is 1 of the 4 Hollywoods in the world alongside American Hollywood, Egyptian Hollywood, and Indian Bollywood.

Here are some sample shows: Officer Black Belt (Theme: martial art and duty), My Name (Theme: family and sacrifice), See You in My 19th Life (Theme: friendship and love), Trauma Code (Theme: medical and duty), Alchemy of Souls (Theme: love and duty), Celebrity (Theme: fame and social-politics), and Night light (Theme: family and career).
