Just six months into the year and our ranking of the best 2025 K-dramas to date could compete with the full annual rankings for many other years.
It has been a strong and diverse few months for K-dramas, and thankfully there appears to be much more to look forward to in the coming months as well.
Below are our picks of the 10 best K-dramas so far this year.
10. The Haunted Palace
Lead cast: Bona, Yook Sung-jae
Final Nielsen rating: 11 per cent
In this breezy and entertaining period mystery drama, a reluctant shaman and a seemingly malevolent dragon spirit in human form join forces as supernatural sleuths around the grounds of the royal palace.
They face off with several colourful spirits, battling with them while trying to get to the bottom of the events that turned them into grudge spirits in the first place.
