At the tale end of 2021 I started watching what are commonly known as K Dramas or Korean Dramas. I quickly fell in love with not only the male actors but the stories and the female actors were also amazing.
So I decided to share with you all the Kdramas I have watched during the year 2022. This list is in order of how I watched them. For each one I have included the blurb, a few of the actors and how many episodes. I will say I did watch them with English Subtitles (my korean is not that good).
Now I will warn you now most of these are romances. What can I say? I love a good romance.
