6 Newer Web Dramas To Add To Your Watch List
Web dramas are the best of both worlds. You get the giddy romance storyline between two very good looking main leads, and you also get the no commitment factor as the episodes tend to be much shorter than a standard K-drama. If the series is already completed, you might even manage to watch the entire series in a few hours! Here are six newer web dramas that are worth checking out.
1. “Bad Girlfriend”
Yang Ji Soo (Byeon Seo Yun) works at an advertising company, and she is dating her boss. What the boss doesn’t know is that Ji Soo is also dating another young man who works at a coffee shop. Low and behold, the young man gets a contract job at Ji Soo’s company. She tries to juggle dating the two guys without them finding out.
This series is interesting in that it is very unpredictable. Until the very end, viewers will not be able to anticipate what will happen, which makes for an exciting watch. The male suitors are really the highlight of the series, and you see how much they’re willing to do for Ji Soo. You’ll love all the romantic confessions and eye-candy, but there should definitely be a warning that the message and story are not what you would expect!

Lee Soo Rin (Kang Min Ah) is a former idol trainee who talks her best friend Min Si Woo (Hwi Young) into attending an idol audition. Soo Rin and Luis end up crossing paths, and the two form a hostile relationship that leads to some deep feelings.
“Miracle” is an enjoyable watch that will relax you after a long and stressful day. It’s got all the cliche tropes with the addition of some adorable idols that make it thoroughly entertaining. The romance and love triangle that form will have you giddy throughout, not to mention the soundtrack will totally draw you into their world!

While working at the cafe, Go Bi hears the stories of various customers.
A healing series at its core, “Would You Like a Cup of Coffee” provides the perfect blanket of warmth to soothe your soul.

Lee Jung Shin, Lee Jung Sic, and VIINI (Kwon Hyun Bin) play the three bartenders who help Jun Dal get her business back into shape in time for summer.
This refreshing and warm web drama is a series that is perfect to watch any time of year. Although it is set in the sunny and hot setting of Jeju Island, the series provides some feel-good emotions that are nice to watch during any season.

Ban Sook (Bae In Hyuk) is a goblin who is told that he needs to kiss a human 10 times in order to become human. His willingness to become human is so great that he decides to take on this task. As he goes on this journey, he meets Oh Yeon Ah (Jeon Hye Won), a strong-willed girl who takes it upon herself to help Ban Sook achieve this goal of kissing 10 humans.
If you can handle the amount of heat of seeing Bae In Hyuk kiss multiple girls throughout this short series, this web drama is a definite must watch. It’s an easy watch where you do not have to think much, but it will keep you totally hooked. The evolving romance between Ban Sook and Yeon Ah is also a delight to watch, giving a lot of butterflies and emotions. You’ll love seeing these two figure their feelings out for each other!

Another Bae In Hyuk web drama, “XX” will hit all the right chords. It’s mysterious, scandalous, and there is a sizzling love story between Dan Hee and Nana that you will be rooting for. The vibe and the way the series is filmed are very artsy, and the storyline has a good flow despite the frequent flash backs.
