We often hear from our students that their motivation or goal to learn Korean is to be able to “watch Korean dramas without subtitles!”

We asked those of you who study Korean on Cafetalk to fill out a survey and tell us about your favorite Korean drama or movie, and what Korean drama or movie you would recommend from a student's point of view!
If you're also interested in Korean dramas and movies, please come and take a look to see if your favorite drama is included in the list!
