Nowadays, tvN has been producing good quality and content dramas that have surprised us - or at least those of us who don't watch tvN dramas often. But let me recommend you some of the best tVN dramas to watch.
#1 Signal (2016)
This drama ended with a rating of 12.54%, making it one of the highest-rated Korean dramas in cable television history. This mysterious drama allows the characters to communicate with the past using a walkie talkie. As a result, it helps the characters solve cases that were past the statute of limitations, A.K.A. cold cases. In a way, it takes the leads back to 1989 even though they're currently living in the year 2015. To avoid mini heart attacks, don't watch it at night.
Starring: Le Je Hoon, Kim Hye Soo, and Jo Jin Woong.
#2 Let's Fight Ghost (2016)
It is your typical romantic drama with a little bit of a twist because the main guy in the story can see ghosts and can even fight with them. The other unique thing about this drama is that the main girl for this drama is a ghost, and she helps him fight with the bad ghosts in order to stop them from harming innocent people. Unexpectedly, they fall in love with each other and their cute love story begins. Besides the chemistry between the main characters, expect to see a very good looking veterinarian with a secret and a bromance between Kang Ki Young and Lee David.
Starring: Ok Taecyeon [2PM], Kim So Hyun, and Kwon Yul.
#3 Reply 1997 (2012)
This drama revolves around the lives of six friends living in Busan. The story line might confuse you a bit at first, but it's just showing their lives when they were 18 year old high schoolers during 1997, as well as their 33-year old present selves. They just talk about it in one night during their reunion. So if you haven't watched this yet, don't read any spoilers and enjoy the show.
Starring: Jeong Eunji [APink], Seo In Guk, and Hoya [Infinite].
#4 Drinking Solo (2016)
It's a slice of life based around the teachers, students, and staff of a private institution that helps them prepare for the civil exam based in Noryangjin. You will see the struggles of each student who are very determined to pass the civil examination. Let me tell you though, the exam isn't easy based on their experiences in this drama. Besides that, this drama can also make you hungry. In every single episode, they show such delicious food. I literally drooled one time because I was watching this on an empty stomach. Lessons learned: Never watch this drama with an empty stomach.
Starring: Park Ha Na, Ha Seokjin, Hwang Woo Seul Hye, Min Jin Woong, Gong Myung [5urprise], Jung Chaeyeon [DIA], and Key [Shinee].
#5 Oh My Ghost/Oh My Ghostess (2015)
A Rom-Com drama that can make you laugh, and also maybe squeal because of Park Bo Young's cuteness that simply overflows in this drama. This drama is about a ghost possessing the bodies of the living and one of them happened to be Bo Young's character. From then on, her life changes and the perspective of people towards her also changes.
Starring: Park Bo Young, Jo Jung Suk, Kim Seul Gi, and Lim Ju Hwan.
#6 Ex-Girlfriend Club (2015)

#7 Queen In Hyun's Man (2012)
This drama is somewhat similiar to Moon Lover: Scarlet Heart Ryeo because it also has the time travel element, although this time, it's the opposite. A nobleman from Joseon Dynasty travels to the year 2012 and crosses path with an unsuccessful actress until she lands her big break - she becomes a cast member for a drama called Queen In Hyun.
Starring: Ji Hyun Woo and Yoo In Na.
