Starting with Kingdom and Love Alarm in 2019, Netflix has released dozens of original K-dramas, many of which are among the best Korean shows of recent years. There are plenty of K-dramas available on Netflix, and not all of them are streaming originals. For example, Queen of Tears, one of the most popular K-dramas of 2024, was broadcast in South Korea and streamed in several countries on Netflix. That said, while licensed titles still make for a significant portion of Netflix’s K-drama catalog, the streamer is releasing more original Korean content every year.
