One K-drama hero in this new batch literally cannot live without his love interest – his artificial heart only charges when she’s nearby.
It has been a heavy few months for anyone following Korean dramas, and Kuwait’s large K-drama fan community, many of them streaming on Netflix or Viu the same week episodes drop in Seoul, has had plenty to keep up with. Between a chaebol murder suspect, a vigilante surgeon and a couple questioning ten years together, there is a lot happening on screen right now.
- Five K-dramas are currently driving the online buzz: Make Me Tingle, Love in Disguise, Doctor X, Take Charge of My Heart and A Love Other Than Yours.

She is investigating him. He may be lying about what he did. The romance and the mystery run on the same question: can she trust what she feels, or is she falling for someone guilty? Seol In-ah’s undercover look reportedly went viral before the first episode even aired.
Doctor X: revenge, served in an operating theatre
Kim Ji-won, who made audiences cry in Queen of Tears, now plays a freelance surgeon making corrupt executives pay instead. Her character, Gye Su-jeong, is sent by a doctor temp agency to Guseo University Hospital, where a group of power-hungry physicians nicknamed the
