The first on the list is Extracurricular. The show currently has one season with ten episodes. It is available in both Korean and English languages on Netflix.

It is a story of a boy who gets abandoned by his parents. He eventually ends up living a dual life of a student and mastermind of an illegal prostitution business.

The story gets intense as its moves to its seasonal ending. In many ways, there can be a comparison with the all-time mega-hit series Breaking Bad. I have already written an article that discusses these factors.

AI Plays God: Science Fiction That Might Become Reality (Book 1)

Will Artificial Intelligence annihilate us? Will it need a weapon? Or will it be a weapon in itself? What kind of perception shall it hold about God and the intelligence of human beings? Will it accept our belief in God as its God, exploit it, or declare itself a God? Will quantum computing, mathematical algorithms and big data make AI a new God? Or will it accept the human as its creator and God?

Usually, AI learns from past data, predicts the future, and acts accordingly.

What do you think AI will do in the future after analysing our historical data? What exactly have we been doing all this time? Do you know most of our actions are getting documented and analysed, as simple as our shopping, touring and browsing habits?

Even the good and evil deeds of human ancestors in the past. These historical and current data are widely available on the internet, and most are accessible to everyone, even to AI.

Will it not analyse all this information if it can?

The analysis of humans destroying the ‘only’ world with wars, hate, civil rights violations, and crime to satisfy their ego and greed, and human’s intolerance towards other human being and their beliefs, what will AI do?

Find out in this exciting and thrilling science fiction.


2. My Name

GenreCrime, Action, Noir, and Thriller

It is a story of a girl whose father got murdered by an unknown assailant in front of her eyes. In search of her father’s murderer, she joins hands with a mafia kingpin, who later instructs her to join the police force.

The show is full of twists, turns, suspense, thrills, and martial arts action. If you like kung-fu and karate type of series and movies, then do watch this.

It is undoubtedly a must-watch.


3. Protect The Boss

GenreRomance, Comedy, and Action

If you’re a fan of Korean dramas, you might want to check out this hidden gem that may have slipped under your radar. It’s a light-hearted romantic comedy with 18 episodes that aired from August to September 2011, and it’s an absolute must-watch.

The show revolves around Cha Ji-heon, a young and immature tycoon’s son who is deemed incompetent of succeeding his father as the chairman of the company. His ex-girlfriend Seo Na-yoon gets involved with his cousin, Cha Mu-won, who also works in the same company.

Mu-won hires a hilariously aggressive, short-tempered, and clumsy but ambitious secretary for Ji-heon, leading to an action-packed comic love quadrilateral.

While the show isn’t available on Netflix, it can be found on YouTube with the channel name SBS World. It’s worth noting that the show is only available in Korean with English subtitles.

Don’t let the language barrier deter you from watching this fantastic drama – it’s still considered one of the best Korean dramas of all time and definitely worth the watch.


4. Descendants of the Sun

GenreRomance, Melodrama, and Action

The show was a mega-hit in South Korea. It was the most popular show of the year and received many awards.

It aired in 2016 with sixteen episodes and three special episodes and is currently available on Netflix.

The story revolves around a South Korean Army special forces officer, Capt Yoo Si-jin, who falls in love with a Doctor, Kang Mo-yeon. They find themselves in the middle of a war-torn country.

The show is in the Korean language but has English subtitles.


5. Vagabond

GenreSpy, Crime, Action, Thriller, Romance

This brilliant show got the highest viewership in its timeslot. Originally it was telecasted on SBS Network but is now available on Netflix.

The show is about a man who is in pursuit of the killers of his orphaned 12-year-old nephew. He was one of the passengers out of 211 who got killed on flight B357 that crashed. The crash deliberated for business and political gains by influentials.

The chain of events opens pandora’s box. Just like onion skins, one by one new higher level of conspiracy gets revealed.

Again the only drawback with the series is that it’s only in the Korean language. However, the English subtitles solve the problem.
