Must Watch Kdramas on Netflix

A list of relatable #kdrama #netflix #series that teach us about life and love.

Surely at least one of the three Kdramas I am about to mention belongs to a trending and Netflix's top10 in the Philippines list; if not, it's probably a series you're already familiar with.

If you're in your mid-20s to early 30s, the selected Kdramas are specifically relevant for us. While all the narratives have a romantic umbrella or feature love as an underlying theme, each discusses other life aspects and demonstrates that Love (in the form of loving another; in something of great importance to the self; as a virtue) comes to purpose, complex (and life-changing) decisions, compromise, and compassion.

Here's a list of relatable Kdramas I've described as "that story were..." and some accompanying questions which you might find yourself contemplating as you watch through each series, indicated in Notes.

1. That story where you're set to accomplish a dream, already mapped out your plans and established your life's purpose but are constantly faced with unforeseen situations. Your principles, too, are challenged, and tough decisions seem necessary to solve present problems---even if it means affecting that long-term goal. *oof*

Notes:

1. What is your lifelong dream?

2. What are non-negotiable or principles you try to live by?

3. What does it mean to be a good and ethical person? How do you balance this with ambition?

2. That story where you think you've had it all figured out by the time you turn 30/at 30; realize you don't know everything there is to know about your life, career, and relationships; see that circumstances keep changing no matter how secure, and stable you think you are and are continuously discovering, also remembering, parts of yourself along the way. *oof*

Notes:

1. Are you happy (or at least satisfied) with your career now? Are there some things from your past self you'd like to revisit? (e.g hobbies & dreams)

2. How should dating and courtship be?

3. What does marriage mean for you? Do you think you're ready for marriage?

-----

3. That story where you've been dedicated to your duty and life's work for a while now but find yourself in a blossoming relationship. You'll have to learn how to balance priorities with that new love/like, out of your comforts. At some point in this story, you'll choose between the two. *oof*

Notes:

1. What are your current life priorities?

2. If you had to choose: (romantic) love or career/duty?

3. What are qualities you need/ have to develop for your relationship to work out? Apart from having that love/interest/like, of course.

P.S. Also recommend the soundtracks of each series on Spotify! They're comforting to listen to whilst working from home. My favorite OSTs from Itaewon Class. hehe #fighting #saranghae #oppa
