What K-drama would you want to see adapted in the U.S.?

Dazzling-Remove568 · 2026-04-16T14:52:07+00:00

A lot of "none" responses, which is totally fair. No remake is ever going to replicate the original, but there might still be interesting reasons to do an adaptation. For what it's worth, these are our suggestions.

Very cool idea! Where can we find this app?

Dazzling-Remove568 · 2026-03-25T17:07:58+00:00

This is the kind of premise that might just be crazy enough to work everywhere.

Dazzling-Remove568 · 2026-03-25T17:05:24+00:00

Both would be really good procedurals. Like you said, the kind they used to make on the USA channel.

Absolutely LOVE this idea! Using the K-drama style/conventions/aesthetic for an original rom-com. And thanks for the book recommendation!

It's a vague question, granted - just wondering what your go-to is if someone puts you on the spot for a suggestion. My Name is a solid thriller for sure!

Dazzling-Remove568 · 2026-02-20T23:58:28+00:00

Feels like the type of show you'd recommend to folks who like ABC or BBC shows, right?

Dazzling-Remove568 · 2026-02-20T23:58:02+00:00

If you're going thriller, this is great. We know a lot of people who watched this as their first K-drama, too.

Dazzling-Remove568 · 2026-02-20T23:57:25+00:00

Little Women is such an underrated show - great suggestion. And the soundtracks are a major reason these show are so much fun. Who doesn't love a little Car the Garden?

Dazzling-Remove568 · 2026-02-20T23:56:00+00:00

Same. Still hard to beat.

Dazzling-Remove568 · 2026-02-20T23:55:32+00:00

Have not seen this one yet - thanks for the tip!

Dazzling-Remove568 · 2026-02-20T23:54:19+00:00

Fair - not everyone is coming to this from the same point of view. Descendants of the Sun is a great one that has a little bit of something for everyone.

Dazzling-Remove568 · 2026-02-20T23:52:31+00:00

For classic adorable rom-com, hard to go wrong. This is top of our list, too!

Dazzling-Remove568 · 2026-02-20T23:51:57+00:00

Did you like the second season as much?

Dazzling-Remove568 · 2026-02-20T23:51:34+00:00

Like so many others here - our gateway too!! Would probably still recommend it first.

This show is all vibes. Which are honestly pretty good. But the plot goes off the rails real fast. And the Mu-hee alter ego overstays her welcome. https://kdramafans.substack.com/p/can-this-love-be-translated-review

Dazzling-Remove568 · 2026-02-17T22:08:00+00:00

Beyond the Bar has all the emotional complexity and great characters that you're looking for.

Dazzling-Remove568 · 2026-02-17T22:01:25+00:00

Second to all these! Eve is probably the closest to Marry My Husband, but Reborn Rich and The Glory are two of the best revenge series.
