It is just the beginning of 2025, and the K-drama industry has already come up with so many streaming, trendy, and most-loved dramas. We are seeing that the K-drama industry once again gives us dramas like 2016 and 2024 at the very beginning of the year. However, most of the upcoming dramas are yet to come. But we K-drama fans have already given our hearts to those K-dramas in March ’25. So here we are with our beloved March K-dramas.
1. When Life Gives You Tangerine

A Netflix drama full of love, childhood, adulthood, and slice of life. We can see Oh Ae-sun [IU] (our “Moon Lovers” Hae-soo) and Yang Gwan-sik [Park Bogum] (“Reply 1988” Choi Taek) as the main leads. Gwan-sik loves Ae-sun more than anything in the world. She means everything to him. We see how Gwan-sik sacrifices his athletic career and Ae-sun doesn’t go to college for their love.

K-pop idol Hwang Min-hyun’s latest tvN K-drama, Study Group, is packed with action, thriller, comedy, emotion, and strong storytelling—all balanced at once. Yoon Ga-min (Hwang Min-hyun) is our main lead, who desperately wants to be a good student but can’t make it happen despite all his hard work. But he’s a total rockstar when it comes to action moves, fighting skills, and physical strength.
As he fails to get good grades and no one accepts him into their study group, he leaves his school and joins Yusung Technical High School, which is filled with fights, bullying, and illegal activities. Hoping for good results and a proper study group, he finds his childhood home tutor, Lee Han-kyung in Yusung Technical High. With her help, Yoon Ga-min forms a study group with 4 other members. Later, we see amazing action scenes from the group as they fight against the bad crowd to bring students back into academic life and create a fight and illegal activities-free school.

3. Melo Movie
Genre: Romance, Melodrama, Entertainment Industry
Starring: Choi Woo-Shik, Park Bo-young
Episodes: 10
As the name suggests, Melo Movie is a melodramatic romantic drama. Choi Woo-shik plays Ko Gyeom (Our Beloved Summer‘s Choi Woong), and Park Bo-young plays Kim Moo-bi (Strong Girl Bong-soon‘s Do Bong-soon) as the main lead. Ko Gyeom wants to be an actor, and Kim Moo-bi, who hates the film world, falls in love with him. But as soon as they fall in love, Ko Gyeom disappears due to his brother’s extreme accident without telling Moo-bi.
After 5 years, Ko Gyeom suddenly returns as a film critic to Director Moo-bi’s film meet-up. Moo-bi is understandably hesitant to allow Gyeom back into her life. But Gyeom breaks Moo-bi’s emotional walls, and the two lovebirds begin to understand each other and fall in love again.
Meanwhile, our second leads Hong Si-jun and Son Ju-a have been in a relationship since school. They broke up on the same day our main leads fell in love. Later, Ju-a goes back to Si-jun to ask him for help writing a song for her film script. They meet again, but initially, the second leads don’t patch up. Don’t forget to watch this amazing romance on Netflix.
4. Newtopia
Genre: Thriller, Zombie, Comedy
Starring: Jisoo (BLACKPINK), Park Jeong-min
Episodes: 8
Here comes another drama by our famous K-pop queen, Newtopia. It’s a thriller, comedy, and zombie drama starring Kang Young-joo (Jisoo) and Lee Jae-yoon (Park Jeong-min). Zombie with comedy—sounds weird, right? But yes, Newtopia makes it possible.
Engineer Young-joo and Soldier Jae-yoon are the leads. At the beginning of the drama, Jisoo breaks up with Jae-yoon because of their uncertain future. Later, she regrets it and goes back to his boyfriend’s building to patch things up. At the top of the building is a military office, and below is a hotel. As she tries to reach him, the zombie outbreak begins.
The zombie scenes are intense and brutal, and we don’t know where or how the outbreak started in the drama. Both are stuck in their situation—Young-joo fights zombies to reach her boyfriend, and Jae-yoon and his fellow soldiers try to escape the building when he hears she’s coming. What happens next? Were they able to reach each other safely? Stay tuned. We’ll talk more about this drama soon.

My Dearest Nemesis is an ongoing television series with leads Baek Su-jeong (True Beauty‘s Moon Ga-young) and Ban Joo-yeon (Choi Hyun-wook).
Su-jeong and Joo-yeon met in an online game during their teenage years. Our female lead fell in love with Joo-yeon without even seeing him. A few days later, the game members had a meet-up. Su-jeong waited to see her first love, but when the male lead arrived, her dreams were crushed—he was still a school student and had hidden his true identity while playing. But here our male lead was a Chaebol (A chaebol is a large industrial South Korean conglomerate run and controlled by an individual or family. )
Sixteen years later, Su-jeong works as a team leader at a company which is owned by Joo-yeon’s family, where Joo-yeon is now the director. At first, they don’t recognize each other. But later, they find out who they really are—and our female lead once again falls for her first love. Here we can feel that First love never dies in the drama.
