However, with the growing madness of Korean culture, we have an explored few stories from Korea too. All K-dramas do include a story base where long time friends turn into a couple.
Here are 5 best Korean love stories we cannot get over

Shung Shi-won and Yoon Yoon-jae start of as friends when they were young. Yoon-jae always had a secret crush on Shi-won but always kept it within. But afterwards, Shi-won finds out about Yoon-jae’s crush and the feelings are mutual. The loving chemistry makes this a must-watch.

Fight for My Way

Lastly, our favourite is this textbook ‘friends turn into lovers’ drama. Ko Dong-man and Choi Ae-ra is a mix of reality and an extravagant world. The story shifts timelines and gets more interesting as episodes pass. The love story shows the role of separate aspirations and how they end up living happily ever after.
