With the advent of streaming platforms and their global circulation, there has been a triggered hunger for more content—diverse content that is worthy. We have seen many wings of content from across the world flourish due to OTT platforms, which previously were termed niche and assumed to have a very limited audience. But with streaming providing access to every remote user to watch content from as far as the end of the world, the dynamic changed overnight and the same niche content became a part of pop culture with big investors ready to invest. Korean drama shows, popularly known as K-Dramas, found the mileage they deserved and suddenly the whole world was talking about and invested in the world of these shows.
We have now discovered genres in Korean dramas, including crime thrillers, fantasy shows, fictional content, zombie dramas, dystopias, and much more that are yet to be explored. But one genre that K-dramas have always aced is the feel-good kind of shows. There is a certain warmth in how many of these K-dramas unfold, mostly set in fictional beautiful towns where these stories are brilliantly made and very finely executed. With the OTTplay Premium subscription, we discovered a platform called Playflix and realized that it is a treasure trove of Korean content. So, we decided to dig more and find some good recommendations for you.
As we explore Playflix, here are titles on the platform that you should be watching. These shows are mostly about life and everything that comes with it.
