11 Korean dramas from 2014, with verified filming locations, episode guides, and where-to-watch info.
2014 was defined by one show above all: My Love from the Star, the fantasy rom-com about a 400-year-old alien and a temperamental actress, which became a genuine cultural phenomenon across Asia and helped fuel a wave of Korean-drama tourism to Seoul. The same year gave us Pinocchio, a journalism drama pairing Park Shin-hye and Lee Jong-suk, and Misaeng: Incomplete Life, a workplace drama so precisely observed about Korean corporate life that it's still cited as one of the genre's finest achievements. It's Okay, That's Love also broke ground that year for its honest handling of mental illness. Together, these shows marked a turning point where K-dramas started blending genre entertainment with more serious social commentary.
