If you want to take a break from heavy and long-term commitment series then these short K-dramas are perfect for you!
Getting addicted to K-dramas means having to watch more than 16 to 21 episodes with a duration of 70-80 minutes each. While this can feel overwhelming at the beginning, you eventually get used to it and it feels like the new normal. But binge-watching K-dramas definitely does consist of many sleepless nights which can really get exhausting sometimes. Thankfully, on such days when you want to watch a K-drama but not for too long, these short K-dramas come to the rescue!
Be it lesser episodes or a shorter run time, watching these short K-dramas definitely wouldn’t be as tiring. You can cozy up in your bed and easily finish these in a day or even in a couple of hours. While the essence of K-dramas lies in the fact that they usually contain those staple 16 episodes, with changing times, makers too have adapted to the idea of a limited series or keeping the episodes short. Even though they're not your typical K-drama it still doesn't lose that magical feeling that you're looking for!
