5 K-Dramas so comforting and cosy, you'll cancel all plans for a marathon: Summer Strike to Business Proposal

You know those days when all you want is a warm blanket, snacks within reach, and a show that just gets you? These five K-dramas are exactly that kind of comfort. From the quiet charm of Summer Strike or the chaos of Business Proposal, each one delivers the kind of feel-good vibes that make you want to put your phone on silent and sink into your sofa. Expect slow-burn romance, heartfelt moments, and just enough drama to keep things spicy, without ruining your chill. Warning: you might cancel plans, ignore texts, and emerge emotionally refreshed. Totally worth it.

 Fresh, fun and so quirky, Business Proposal  is like a comfort dessert. Starring Ahn Hyo-Seop and Kim Seojong, the story follows a CEO (of course), who is set up on a blind date by his grandfather. The ‘date’ panics and sets up her best friend, and you can guess where things go from there. It’s one of the most endearing romantic comedies in the K-Drama kingdom, with chaos, romance, mush and some cheesiness that will somehow make you blush and not cringe.

Perfect for a staycation stay-in day, too.

Okay, if you need some really serious downtime away from the world, where you contemplate all your life choices, then well, My Liberation Notes is a good choice. Starring Kim Ji-won, the series is a rather profound look at oneself and the outside world, where people find the courage to voice the thoughts swirling inside. It’s slow paced, and maybe, that’s what most of us need.

Ready for a quiet, calming romance without much drama? Well, Lee Jong-suk is ready to serve, in one of his rare outings as romcom hero. Watch him as he finally admits his love for his childhood best friend, who also happens to work with him in the same book publishing company. Enjoy the throes and woes of publishing, with dashes of romance.

If Im Si-wan broke your heart in Squid Game, it is time to heal it with Summer Strike, where he plays an introvert and becomes a close, calming solace to Lee Yeo-reum, who wants to starts a life in a new town, after series of rather catastrophic circumstances.  It’s a moving tale of love and friendship, and the determination to find peace in the freedom we choose.

 If you’re craving a chaotic, lighthearted watch that’s pure fun, Hyeri has you covered in My Roommate is a Gumiho. She ends up roommates with Jang Ki-yong’s Shin Woo-yeo—who, yes, is literally a nine-tailed fox. Watch their messy love story unfold through plenty of slips and falls, moments where time literally stops, and hilariously botched memory erasures.
