K-drama romances come in all types, but there’s nothing better than a story about first love. Korean dramas range from intense political thrillers to wholesome slice-of-life stories, but romantic K-dramas are by far the most popular sub-genre. Thanks to the familiar tropes, easy-to-follow plots, and heartwarming happy endings, K-drama romances help titles reach global audiences, earning well-deserved and widespread acclaim.

Out of the most iconic K-drama couples of all time, however, many swoonworthy romances trace back to first love. Whether it’s a simple and sweet tale of young lovers or a creative subversion of the cliché, K-dramas about first love can be wildly different and offer unique hooks to set them apart. Of course, every first love has its charms.
