There’s nothing like curling up with a good K-drama after a long week. You know that feeling—when you finally get to kick back, throw on your comfiest clothes, grab some snacks, and let yourself sink into a story that’s full of love, laughter, and just the right amount of drama. If your weekend plans involve staying in, I’ve got you covered.
From heart-fluttering romances to healing slice-of-life stories (and even a little time-travel magic), 2025 is blessing us with an incredible lineup of new dramas. And trust me, these shows aren’t just fillers—they’re the kind of series you’ll want to binge, obsess over, and maybe even rewatch.
So grab your remote, because here are five new romantic Korean dramas that will make your weekend unforgettable.
Law and the City
If you thought legal dramas were always heavy and serious, Law and the City will surprise you in the best way possible. This one blends courtroom tension with romance, friendship, and a lot of heart. Think of it as Suits meets Friends, but make it K-drama.
The story follows five lawyers navigating not only their careers but also their messy, lovable personal lives. And of course, there’s romance—because what’s a K-drama without a little love story to keep us hooked?
Some couples to look out for:
Ahn Ju Hyeong (Lee Jong Suk) and Kang Hui Ji (Moon Ga Young)—a pairing that practically radiates chemistry.
Bae Mun Jeong (Ryu Hye Young) and Kim Ji Seok (Yoon Kyung Sang)—another couple whose relationship will have you rooting for them.
What I love most is how light and refreshing the storytelling feels compared to other legal dramas that can sometimes get too dark. It’s entertaining without being overwhelming, making it perfect for weekend viewing.
📺 You can catch Law and the City on Disney+.
The Nice Guy
Okay, let’s talk about this gem. The Nice Guy is currently airing, and wow—it’s already stirring up so many emotions. The setup is irresistible: Park Seok Chul (Lee Dong Wook) comes from a family of gangsters, but don’t expect him to be cold and ruthless. He’s actually the sweetest, most soft-hearted grandson of the clan’s third generation.
And then there’s Kang Mi Young (Lee Sung Kyung), his first love, who dreams of becoming a singer. Their romance feels tender yet complicated, especially with Seok Chul’s background constantly threatening their happiness.
But here’s where it gets even better. This isn’t just about love—it’s also got action-packed scenes that give the drama an extra punch. So one moment you’re swooning, and the next you’re gripping your seat during a tense fight sequence. It’s the kind of show that keeps you on your toes.
Honestly, I can already picture fans shipping this couple hard. And with Lee Dong Wook and Lee Sung Kyung’s visuals? It’s impossible not to.
📺 The Nice Guy is streaming on Disney+.
My Lovely Journey
If your weekend mood leans more toward something healing and comforting, My Lovely Journey is exactly the drama for you. It’s romantic, yes, but it also feels like a warm cup of tea for the soul.
The story follows Kang Yeo Rum (Gong Seung Yeon), a former idol who’s now working as a travel reporter. She gets sent on a journey that ends up becoming more than just work—it’s a path of self-discovery. Through her travels, she starts reflecting on what success and happiness really mean.
Of course, this wouldn’t be a K-drama without some romance sprinkled in. Yeo Rum reconnects with her first love, Cha Si Wan (Kang Dong Ho), while also sharing subtle, bittersweet moments with her colleague Lee Yeon Seok (Kim Jae Young), who secretly harbors feelings for her.
The triangle is beautifully written, with emotions that feel real rather than forced. You’ll find yourself asking, “Should she choose love from the past, or something new and unexpected?”
This one is perfect if you want to laugh, cry a little, and maybe even reflect on your own life choices.

Love Take Two
Ah, here’s a drama that tugs right at the heartstrings. Love Take Two explores not just romance but also family, making it one of the warmest series on this list.
The story centers on Lee Ji An (Yum Jung Ah), a single mother raising her daughter Lee Hyo Ri (Choi Yoon Ji), who’s studying medicine. Ji An is strict and controlling, but it’s all rooted in love—Hyo Ri is her pride and joy.
But life takes a turn when Ji An’s first love, Ryu Jeong Seok (Park Hae Joon), re-enters the picture. He’s also a single parent, raising his son Ryu Bo Heon (Kim Min Kyu). Their reunion stirs up old feelings while also creating new challenges as they juggle parenting, romance, and the past that never quite let them go.
The beauty of Love Take Two is how it balances mature themes with heartfelt moments. It’s about second chances, both in love and in life. And honestly, don’t we all secretly root for stories that remind us it’s never too late to start again?

Bon Appetit Your Majesty
Now, let’s end on a fun one. Bon Appetit, Your Majesty is the kind of drama that makes you laugh, swoon, and maybe even get a little hungry. Yes, you read that right—food plays a big role here.
The story follows Yeon Ji Young (Im Yoon Ah), a modern-day aspiring Michelin chef who suddenly finds herself 500 years in the past. Yep, it’s a time-travel romance! Stuck in a completely different era, she ends up crossing paths with King Lee Heon (Lee Chae Min), a so-called tyrant who also happens to be a food lover with very picky tastes.
Can you imagine? A modern chef trying to survive in a royal palace where political schemes and kitchen drama collide. It’s hilarious, a little chaotic, and super romantic all at once. Ji Young has to cook for the king, blending modern techniques with traditional royal cuisine. And along the way, she might just win his heart too.
This drama doesn’t just give us romance—it also gives us comedy, palace intrigue, and mouthwatering food scenes that will make you want to pause and raid your fridge.
📺 Bon Appetit, Your Majesty is available on Netflix.
