Must Watch Korean Dramas in 2021
Holidays are fast approaching and what better way to spend your holidays by binge watching on Korean drama or series. I find these dramas super interesting and they’re in my to watch list but I don’t have the luxury of time as of the moment so I’m thinking, why not share it to you guys.
1.Now,We Are Breaking Up (Ongoing)
Although fashion designers ultimately wish to make their own classics that will last forever, they must also keep up with the trends that continue changing periodically. Isn’t love exactly the same? People meet and date numerous others to find the one everlasting love. But no destiny nor love lasts forever. Excuses such as “We weren’t meant to be,” or “Our time together is up,” always lead to one break up after another. Maybe this perhaps is just the way of life itself. Fashion designer Ha Young Eun is a cold-hearted realist with great beauty and a successful career. To her, men are nothing but a form of stimulation. Unlike her past when she used to be passionate about love, she now determines never to be so again. However, Yoon Jae Guk, a renowned fashion photographer who is very straightforward and honest about love, appears in front of Young Eun. This story is about how Young Eun and Jae Guk affect each other’s definition of love. Everyone has their own definition. Jae Guk, Young Eun, and her friends show how they each define love with their own different stories.
