Most UNIQUE & ORIGINAL K-Drama Plots!
UPDATE: Added 'It's Okay to Not Be Okay' and 'Flower of Evil' to list for their fresh storylines.
----------------------------
I've so much appreciation for Korean dramas with a 'one-of-a-kind /unique' concept to their storyline. Fresh script writing, ORIGINAL, intriguing and ABSOLUTELY BINGE-WORTHY!!
None of the usual cliché plots or common love triangles (or in some cases quadruple), evil mother-in-law, girl in poverty needing saving from a prince charming (aka chaebol or CEO), or dramas so slow paced it feels like a slow death.
Some of my favourites listed may be adaptations from webtoons or novels.
Comment below and share what other original k-dramas you reckon should be added to this list.
