For those who are interested in Korean mythology, then My Roommate Is a Gumiho is a great mix of fantasy and romance. For reference, a “gumiho” is a nine-tailed fox that often appears in Korean folktales and legends.

3. The Kidnapping Day

The Kidnapping Day is a K-drama that went under the radar among international K-drama fans. One reason could be because it is only available for streaming on Prime and barely received any promotion. However, it is a must-watch and is arguably one of the best K-dramas to be released in 2023.

The story follows Kim Myeong Jun (Yoon Kye Sang). His daughter is in desperate need of funds for an operation. Although it goes against his morals, Kim Myeong Jun accepts a job to kidnap 11-year-old Choi Ro Hee (Jeon Yu Na). As he attempts to fulfill his plan, he accidentally hits Choi Ro Hee with his car.

4. Death’s Game
