Between watching K-Drama with friends and watching K-Drama alone, which one is more interesting and which do you prefer?

I prefer to watch KDrama with friends because it’s more exciting than watching it alone. I mean, while watching KDrama with friends, especially Korean enthusiasts like you, the atmosphere becomes comfortable and relatable. At least you can throw your fits comfortably with no one rolling their eyes at you.

Although we all know you can’t watch all K-dramas with your friends because of the daily demands of life, here are 10 recent friendship-themed K-dramas we think you should definitely watch with your friends.

Twenty-five Twenty-one (2022)

Synopsis: Twenty-five Twenty-one follows the story of five friends who strive to pursue their dreams and navigate early adulthood in the bleak aftermath of the 1997 Asian financial crisis.

In this series, we watched friends go from hating one another to establishing unbreakable bonds and it was just perfect. If you want to experience what group friendship looks like, then this series is for you.

Thirty-nine (2022)

Synopsis: Thirty-nine is the age of three friends of over twenty years who have to come to terms with the terminal illness of one of them. The series starts with the funeral and the twelve episodes lead up to that point and the aftermath with flashbacks of the trio's first meeting and their interaction over the years.

This drama is quite emotional. Three adult friends are reduced to two when one of them dies and all that remains with them is their memories of each other. Rather than just childhood friendship, this series enlightens the advantages and struggles of adult friendship.

Racket Boys (2021)

Synopsis: A city kid is brought to the countryside because of his father's new coaching gig; reviving a ragtag middle school badminton team on the brink of extinction.

Racket Boys is a coming-of-age story. It shows how friendship can spring up on the way to achieving the same goal. Another noteworthy thing is how all the teenage actors gave each role their all.

Itaewon Class (2020)

Synopsis: A young bar owner must fight to hold his own against the corporation that destroyed his family. As he tries to build up his business, he finds himself surrounded by a strong group of friends. Together, they must face the betrayals and hardships that test their mettle.

The friendship in Itaewon Class is what I will call a special one. I mean even though they were not all Koreans and they started as co-workers, they still had each other's back always. One thing I learned in this drama is that friendship can break boundaries and help achieve goals that seem impossible, just like they did in this series. 

Welcome to Waikiki (2019)

Synopsis: With big dreams of financing their own film project, three struggling young men join forces in a guesthouse venture that is anything but profitable.

Welcome to Waikiki is a hilarious drama based on friendship. The story navigates their love life and the challenges in their career. Also, their friendship is tested when each of them achieves individual success. You want to watch this and see for yourself how this worked out. I promise you'll enjoy the ride.
