Great k-drama adaptations to watch.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With the rising popularity of K-dramas, many adaptations from U.S. shows exist that are just as good, if not better, than the original. Korean media has gained more fans in recent years, meaning a surge in the number of TV shows produced. Some K-dramas have used beloved US media as source material or inspiration. By incorporating known stories, K-dramas can draw in a larger audience.

Additionally, the 18 Again pays more attention to the cinematographic elements, using a different color palette and style of editing. The shots flow beautifully from one to the next. The visuals are further improved when paired with the soundtrack and score. 18 Again's use of music guides the show's tone and the audience's expectations. Unsurprisingly, the K-drama released a two-part album with entirely original music from the series.

Additionally, the characters in Designated Survivor: 60 Days are grounded in realism, showing human limitations and emotions. Their emotional expression is controlled, but they feel just as deeply—a characteristic of Korean culture. The main characters also feel like real people with nuances and personalities. This is paired with great acting by both established and newer actors. Lastly, by putting a time limit—60 days—and an episode limit, the drama is forced to tighten the storyline.

4 Little Women The K-drama Little Women is a loose adaptation of the US movie of the same name, giving the classic story a fresh spin. Oh In-joo, Oh In-kyung, and Oh In-Hye are sisters who grew up in poverty and share a deep emotional bond, with each possessing the personality of a March sister. Both versions of Little Women make commentary on wealth, social class, and power differentials. This is where the similarities end.
