Popular Korean Dramas

I am trying to learn Korean as I'm not completely fluent but I would like to be! So I've started watching a lot of Korean dramas lately and I have seen an improvement in my speaking since two months ago. YAY!

The characters are funny and endearing in which you become attached to each story!
