Here are some movies to warm up those cold November nights.

Who said South Korean movies and shows could only be almost sterile romantic comedies or some zombie-related fantasy? Apparently, the industry is full of projects that will make your heart beat faster, and if you only know Love and Leashes, we are here to introduce you to nine more steamy K-dramas.

1. Love and Leashes

Well, let's start with the most popular K-drama. Although the show is relatively new, it has gained a reputation as one of the hottest series on South Korean television. The fans of 50 Shades of Grey will love it because it also explores the world of BDSM.

It focuses on the pleasure that partners can achieve in a relationship based on a contract, but also on partnership, boundaries and mutual respect.

2. You Raise Me Up

An example of a show that proves that even a silly comedy can be hot and spicy. The show began with the main character's awkward discovery that his urologist was actually his first love when he came to her for help with his erectile dysfunction.

This cringe-worthy reunion, however, brought the ex-lovers back into each other's lives and in a slow burn way, they give their past another chance, which brings us lots of hot kissing scenes and intimacy, mixed with some real emotion and hilarious jokes.

3. Hit The Spot

Hit The Spot is a sort of South Korean version of Sex Education, but with its own twists and turns. However, the basic idea is almost the same: two friends open their own erotic consulting service to help those who are unsure of what kind of pleasure they can have when discovering everything about their bodies.

The show is considered somewhat revolutionary because it features a lot of graphic sex scenes and even more hot discussions about the subject and related topics, such as sex toys and masturbation.

4. Somebody

The fans claim that simply tagging this K-drama as “steamy” will even be an understatement, and frankly, after we watched the series we kind of agree with that. The show focuses around this super talented app developer, Kim-sum, who lives with Asperger syndrome. “Somebody” is the name of the app she created, but one day it becomes involved in a series of murders.

Kim-sum tracks down the killer and... starts a sexual affair with him. This movie is definitely not suitable for an evening family watch as it contains a lot of full nudity and realistic lovemaking. So put your kids to bed before you watch it.

5. Eve

Tale as old as time... when the enemy becomes the lover. The show tells the story of Lee La-el, who decided to take revenge for the murder of her father. She tracked down the man responsible and decided to seduce him in order to blackmail him and make the married man's life a nightmare. Instead, after beginning a passionate fake affair, they develop real feelings for each other, jeopardizing La-el's original revenge plan.

6. What's Wrong With Secretary Kim?

The premise of this K-drama is also not that unusual, as it includes the famous love in the workplace trope. However, the angle of the story is quite different. When the boss of a large corporation finds out that his loyal secretary is about to leave her job, he becomes this exaggerated version of a best boyfriend and starts the process of making her stay by giving her all kinds of gifts and throwing parties in her name.

We won't spill the tea and tell you if it worked, but we can assure you that you're definitely getting some hot stuff in the series.

7. Another Miss Oh

This is a story of betrayal mixed with revenge. After Park Do-kyung was left at the altar by his fiancée Oh Hae-young, he had a very miserable year. When he accidentally finds out that a woman with the same name is getting married, he does everything in his power to ruin the wedding, even if it means putting an innocent man in jail.

After sharing almost the same experience, they begin to grow closer and fall in love. But the story is not that simple...

8. My Name

My Name revolves around Ji-woo, the daughter of a gangster whose life was taken right before her eyes. After that, she became obsessed with the idea of revenge, so she trains hard to become the best fighter and goes undercover with the police to find out the truth about her father. In the forces, she met Pil-do who became her partner and later her lover. Their intimate scenes are something out of this reality.

9. A Witch’s Romance

A South Korean drama that brilliantly tackles the controversial issue of older women dating younger men. The series focuses on the romance between 39-year-old Ban Ji-yeon, who thought her life was over and there was nothing to cheer her up, until she met 25-year-old Yoon Dong-ha. Despite their age difference, they both share similar tragedies from their past that eventually bring them together.

10. The World Of The Married

The show revolves around successful psychiatrist Ji Sun-woo and her family, which seems to be perfect at first glance. However, her world is shattered when she finds out that her husband cheated on her with another woman, and Sun-woo was the only one who was unaware of it. There are a lot of steamy scenes in the show, but they are mixed with many heartbreaking moments.
