These 5 slow-burn romantic Korean dramas will surely melt you
Korean romantic dramas appeal to us because of the way they build up the love factor over episodes. Of course, some K-dramas are relatively quicker with their stories, but the ones that deal with slow-burn romances actually can melt any heart. That's because when the story finally concludes, the end feels worth it! Here are five romantic K-dramas you can watch on OTT.
