When we initially found out that Disney+ will be available in the Philippines, we were ecstatic. Because you know what this means? We have more options for us to watch! Aside from the animated movies that will make our inner child happy, Disney+ also has a roster of Korean shows that we have been dying to stream. So, we've rounded up a list of the top ones we have our eyes on and we're sharing it with you.
Here are 15 Korean dramas on Disney+ that you need to watch:
1. The Golden Spoon
Based on a popular webtoon of the same name, The Golden Spoon is a fantasy drama where high school student Lee Seung Cheon (played by BTOB's Yook Sung Jae) is so fed up with his life. Coming from a poor family, he desperately wants to escape poverty. Seung Cheon was given the chance of a lifetime when he meets an old woman who offers him a gold spoon which he can use to change his circumstances. We heard the acting by the cast is stellar and Korean netizens have been talking about wanting to see Yook Sung Jae in a psychopath role after seeing his performance in The Golden Spoon!
2. Big Mouth
Talkative lawyer Park Chang Ho (played by Lee Jong Suk) has a reputation for being all talk which gained him the nickname "Big Mouth." He is married to a beautiful and loyal nurse, Go Mi Ho (played by Girls' Generation's Yoona). When Chang Ho becomes a suspect in a murder case involving a swindler named Big Mouse, Mi Ho does everything to help clear her husband's name. This is Lee Jong Suk's comeback drama after his military service which means Big Mouth is definitely a must-watch!
3. Snowdrop
Set in 1987 during a time when South Korea was under a dictatorial government, the drama's story revolves around Lee Soo Ho (played by Jung Hae In), a mysterious graduate student, and Eun Yeong Ro (played by BLACKPINK's Jisoo), a female university student who helped Soo Ho hide in her dorm room after finding him covered in blood. They developed a romantic relationship, but Soo Ho's true identity complicates the situation. We're so curious how a Jung Hae In and Ji Soo pairing will be! BLINKs (BLACKPINK's fandom) shouldn't miss this!
4. The Zone: Survival Mission
A new reality show has caught our eye! Starring no less than Yoo Jae Suk, Lee Kwang Soo, and Girls' Generation's Yuri as regular members, this show is sure to be fun. They have also invited special guests to the mix which makes it even more exciting. In this show, the members represent all of mankind and go into a disaster-simulated space called The Zone. They have to survive the challenges for four hours. Look forward to guestings by actor Lee Yi Kyung and BTOB's Peniel! And, of course, Yoo Hee Yeol, as AI U, the narrator of the show.
5. Outrun
Outrun is a spin-off of the super popular long-running reality show, Running Man. Starring Kim Jong Kook, HaHa, Jee Seok Jin, Song Ji Hyo, and Yang Se Chan, the show went viral on Twitter when it invited members of different K-pop boy groups (Pentagon, SF9, VERIVERY, Golden Child, ONF, and many more) for their second episode. As expected from a Running Man spin-off, Outrun has crazy competitions and games which would be a hilarious treat for viewers! Shippers of the Song Ji Hyo and Kim Jong Kook couple would also be delighted to see more sweet interactions between the two.
6. Another! Miss Oh

When he found out that she will be marrying a businessman named Han Tae Jin (played by Lee Jae Yoon), he seeks to get revenge by making Tae Jin's company bankrupt. However, Tae Jin's fiancée is apparently just another woman named Oh Hae Young (played by Seo Hyun Jin) who just happened to have the same name as his ex-girlfriend. Another!
