The charming voice star and guitarist of "The Crown", a K-pop leading group, Sa Gye (Ha Yoo Joon), is forced to enroll in Hanju University, somewhere completely unfamiliar to him. Struggling to adjust, fate leads him to Kim Bom (Park Ji Hu), a gifted star from the band "Tusagye", who dreamed of going to an Ivy League university, but followed music after her mother passed away. As they become closer, Sa Gye's love for music sparks again, and he forms a mysterious band. But then a strong rival shows up, Seo Tae Yang (Lee Seung Hyub), a guitarist who’s also a medical student. Now, the three start an exciting new music journey!






4) Nine puzzles



E Na's beloved uncle was murdered ten years ago; he was like a father to her, but to her surprise, she faced suspension, not sympathy, from the lead investigator, Han Saem (Son Suk Ku).

5) Tastefully Yours



Han Beom Woo (Kang Ha Neul) is the son of a big food company and owns a fancy restaurant in Seoul, but he doesn’t care about how the food tastes. Mo Yeon Joo (Go Min Si) loves cooking and runs a small secret restaurant in the countryside. They meet, work together, and fall in love while running a small restaurant in Miraek, Jeonju.


Some viewers described this drama as one of the funniest K-dramas in a while!






On the other hand, other viewers had another point of view! They think that Tastefully Yours started strong but now has too many annoying scenes, making it feel overwhelming, like too much spice that causes nausea.


Fan reaction:


“Honestly, I was so sure this show was gonna be one of my favs this year... but oh well. The second half? Totally wasted potential.”

—@KdramaRealist on X #TastefullyYoursFinale


Means that if you’re in it for a strong start and good vibes, it might still be worth it. Just… don’t expect the second half to deliver.


Another fan commented:

“Started like a masterpiece, ended like a mess. I had high hopes, but the second half threw it all away.”

—@DramaDropQueen on X #TastefullyYours


Another drama with a classic case of “great first date, terrible breakup.”


So, if you're looking for a consistent rom-com ride, this one might leave you hanging!




May 2025 is now behind us, but the K-dramas it gave us are still making a strong impact.

With so many new series released last month, it was nearly impossible to watch them all, and even harder to know which ones truly stood out. That’s why we’re here! to help you choose the dramas that are really worth your time.


From powerful thrillers to emotional love stories, May brought a wide range of shows that entertained, surprised, and sometimes even challenged us. We’ve selected the most remarkable ones...the dramas that left a lasting impression.
