I am looking for some interesting kdrama shows

So i usually have some problems with k dramas but i recommend Arthdal Chronicles, W: Two Worlds, Empress Ki, Law School, Stranger.
Again, i haven't watched that much.

Someone will probably recommend Squid Game to you but i didn't see it.

Ooh; I have lots. But it depends what kind of thing you like. My tastes are not necessarily everyone else's. I am really particular with the ones I say I like a lot - they have to be really good - but that's still 'really good' to me. I'll start with a list, and then edit it when you tell me.

All the ones I watch are on Rakuten Viki, and available in Australia. There are others available in the Northern hemisphere/Americas-Asia that I can't see, and on other platforms. So my recommendations are limited to these. (Some of what's on R. Viki are also elsewhere, and some I watched on Netflix, so you can get them there. However, Rakuten Viki is a pretty good choice for K-Dramas, as it's cheaper than Netflix - about 1/3 the price - and has some shows you can't get on N.)

This year's good ones:
- From Now on, Showtime! Much better than it sounds (they usually are - titles for K-Dramas are weird, aren't they?)
- Shooting Stars
- Ghost Doctor

A few other good ones:
- I Am Not a Robot
- My Secret Terrius
- Touch Your Heart
- Bossam: Steal the Fate

If you like a good intense drama, try:
- W: Two Worlds
- While You Were Sleeping

I have only watched two k-dramas. One is Squid Game and other is Crash Landing On You. Both of which, I will recommend.

Yeah, those are both good. Very different. Squid Game takes a strong stomach to handle the brutality though I think it is done to make a point and not simply for cheap thrills. Crash Landing is a pretty fluffy rom-com with lots of fish-out-of-water laughs and some interesting exploration of North vs South Korean societies.

If you're looking for SFF vein K-Dramas, Alchemy of Souls just finished its first season and is really good. It's a fantasy twist on Joseon-era dramas with elemental magic and the titular soul alchemy that lets users take over another's body. Mr. Queen is also really good though the SFF element is mostly the set up of time-travel and body swap (a present-day chef is transported back in time and into the body of the Queen -- hijinks and romance ensue).

I also loved Crash Landing On You! Another favorite is Flower of Evil. Both are recommended only if you enjoy love stories.

Not sure if you only want SFF. Our favorite K Drama overall is Heirs. Le Min-Ho and Park Shin-Hye. There is a lot of longing and staring. :)

I'd love to recommend Casa de Papel Korea.

My wife says you must watch “Strong Girl Bongsoon” and “Suspicious Partner”.

She’s a bit of a K-Drama fan.
