My Favorite K-Dramas: N–Z

This is Part 2B of my ongoing K-Drama master list.

Part 2A covered titles from A through M. This installment continues with N through Z and includes many of my favorite recent dramas, historical epics, political thrillers, fantasy adventures, and romantic comedies.

As with Part 2A, these rankings reflect my personal tastes and are intended as a guide rather than a definitive ranking. Your mileage may vary.

A Note on Titles

Many Korean dramas are known internationally by several different English titles. I have used the title most commonly found on Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Viki, and other major English-language streaming services whenever possible.
