10 College Romance K-Dramas That Are a Must-Watch Even in 2024
There's something special about college romance.
It's a little bit naive, extremely raw, confusing, and exciting, but already has a level of wariness that school romance doesn't — and sometimes we want to feel something like that through the characters portrayed on the screen.
These K-Dramas capture this unique feeling of college love perfectly:
While teen romance stays one of the most popular genres because first love is a great trope that apparently wasn't explored enough, college romance is a thing that offers an extra layer of responsibilities, experience (or highlighted lack thereof), existential dread, and the weight of societal expectations that makes these stories more vivid and relatable to the older audience.
The combinations of the characters, their dynamics, and the development of their relationship can be much more diverse, too.
Trying to deal with love while simultaneously making your first steps in adult life is a hard challenge, and this mix already promises to be entertaining.
The characters have to tackle different problems at once, set their priorities straight, make some heavy choices, and some of them — in the name of love. But more than that, love serves as one of the stepping stones in the personal growth journey.
