In the cold weather of the year-end holiday season, what’s better than watching Korean Dramas while sipping a cup of hot chocolate? For fans of the romance genre, this Christmas will certainly be the most suitable time to watch romantic Korean dramas. Let’s take a look at 6 heart-fluttering series you should immediately add to your Christmas watchlist! 

• Our Beloved Summer

If you are tired of adult love stories and looking for a youth rom-com, then you definitely should not miss Our Beloved Summer. The drama revolves around Kook Jeon Soo (Kim Da Mi) and Choi Woong (Choi Woo Sik), a couple who broke up a long time ago. However, fate arranges for them to reunite after the documentary they filmed 10 years ago in high school suddenly becomes popular. 

•  When The Weather Is Fine

Set in the winter in a quiet village, When The Weather Is Fine centers on the romance between young cellist Hae Won (Park Min Young) and local bookstore owner Eun Seob (Seo Kang Joon). The drama has a lighthearted and emotional storyline with no dramatic details, making the viewers feel comforted. The Weather Is Fine is like the dream of young people who are stuck in modern life with many worries and always look for something sweet to heal their souls.

• Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha

Needless to say, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, one of the best Korean dramas of 2021, is a must-watch if you haven’t checked it out. Set against the backdrop of a peaceful seaside village, Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha depicts the love-hate relationship between Du Sik (Kim Seon Ho) and Hye Jin (Shin Min Ah) with healing, sweet, romantic, funny and meaningful footage.

• Something In The Rain 

Something In The Rain has both the steamiest and sweetest scenes.  The drama portrays the “noona” romance between Joon Hee (Jung Hae In) and Jin Ah (Son Ye Jin). With a romantic winter setting, this emotional melodrama is a perfect option for a cozy Christmas night in. 

• Romance Is A Bonus Book

Romance Is A Bonus Book marks the on-screen collaboration between the most successful “fanboy” Lee Jong Suk and his senior Lee Na Young. Not only depicting a sweet “noona” romance, the drama also cleverly integrates the sad reality of discrimination in Korean society.  However, besides deep parts in the storyline, this couple still makes the audience’s hearts flutter with many cheesy scenes in their journey to escape “friendzone”. 

• Yumi’s Cells

Adapted from the famous webtoon of the same name, Yumi’s Cells depicts the daily life of ordinary office worker Yumi (Kim Go Eun) from the point of view of various brain cells in her head. Yumi’s Cells has attracted much attention for its unique plot. The first season of the drama also treats the audience to countless sweet and heartfelt moments of Yumi and her boyfriend Woong (Ahn Bo Hyun). 

Jo Jung Suk is officially back—and fans of Hospital Playlist couldn’t be more excited.

In the preview for episode 10 of Resident Playbook, aired by tvN on May 10, Jo Jung Suk’s character Lee Ik Jun is shown walking through a dimly lit hospital, saying, “It’s been so long since I came here.”

The short scene sparked immediate buzz online, especially when he’s seen holding hands with a woman—whose face is hidden. Many viewers are now asking: Is it Chae Song Hwa?

Although her identity isn’t revealed, fans are hopeful that the woman is Jeon Mi Do, who played Chae Song Hwa in Hospital Playlist.

Earlier announcements confirmed that both Jo Jung Suk and Jeon Mi Do would make appearances in Resident Playbook, fueling speculation that the beloved duo is finally reuniting on screen.

The teaser quickly became a hot topic, helping the drama maintain its upward momentum. Resident Playbook—a spin-off of the hit series Hospital Playlist—has been gaining strong viewership, with its latest episode setting new personal ratings records.

The show has consistently ranked No. 1 in its time slot across all channels, showing that fans are deeply invested in the lives and growth of the young doctors at the center of the story.

As the series continues to mix heartwarming guest appearances with its own emotional stories, viewers are now eagerly waiting for episode 10, airing May 11 at 9:20 PM KST, to see what’s next.

Will the “99s” finally reunite? Tune in to find out!
