Next update end of May 2026.

Can this be love translated is still best series this year but the competition is hotting up, with some of the contenders in their early stages of broadcast.

Just getting started with Drama? Check out our best ever series.

So many are available every month and the best ones are excellent entertainment to rival any Hollywood release or series, however a bad one can put you off for life.

Nearly 6 months into the year and over 30 releases in the UK. Can this love be translated still holds its slot as number 1.

Filing for Love poised to take top spot?

  1. Can this love be translated? English Dubbing Available. (CDR) A man and woman, both damaged in their own way find love, then break up, find love, then break up and …… Quirky and original. See feature
  2. Filing For Love – (RomCom)Unexpected entry. Funny, romantic and really good episode stories. Available on VIKI Now available to binge watch – or re-watch in full.
  3. My Royal Nemesis – Exceptional chemistry between leads.
  4. Postively yours. (Romance) One night stand produces a pregnancy that brings two opposites together. Engaging. Recommended.
  5. To My Beloved Thief.- plenty of interesting characters, great leads and a wow plot. It was truly watchable and would have been great for binge-watching but with weekly release episodes this was not possible. Not memorable enough to make top 3 but maybe with a rewatch.
  6. Spring Fever (Comedy) English dubbing available. Unlikely romance between a school-teacher and a man who has had to care for his nephew since his school days. See Feature
  7. Perfect Crown – Unbeatable casting and original story. The politics took over a bit too much where a more humorous and entertaining story angle would have elevated it. Disappointing, though not down to the cast. Storyline was way off base. Still worth watching for the beauty.
  8. Legend of the Kitchen Soldier – Based on highly original webtoon.
  9. Phantom Lawyer – (Comedy/fantasy/mystery)
  10. Made in Korea (Thriller) Action/thriller. Season 2 on the way.
  11. Sold out on You – Likeable cast and very entertaining.However, not enough standout scenes to make it emeorable
  12. Bloodhounds 2 – (Action drama) Not as good as the first series in some respects but has many things to recommend it.
  13. The Wonderfools – (comedy actin)casting gold. Takes a couple of epsiodes to get going but then takes off.
  14. Idoli (Drama romance) Last episode was unneeded and only detracted.
  15. Undercover Miss Hong (Comedy) Older woman has to pretend to be 20 and go back to work for a case she is investigating.
  16. Our Universe (CDR) Cute baby
  17. Pro Bono (Comedy) Disgraced judge takes on cases with pro bono group and uses his bizarre methods to win cases and restore himself.
  18. The Judge Returns (Thriller/drama) A judge is murdered and returns to his life 10 years previously giving him the chance to put things right. Takes off in episode 3.
  19. The Practical Guide to Love (Romantic Comedy) High hopes for this but sadly wastes its cast
  20. The Art of Sarah (Dramatic thriller) English dubbing available Review
  21. No tail to tell. (Comedy/romance) 9 tailed creature does not want to become human but after a wish goes wrong finds herself relying on those she has always despised, humans.
  22. We are all trying here – difficult to get into but may be worth persevering. Early in its run.

The Art of Sarah – Lee Jun-hyuk

Also this year: Honour, Bloody flower, Pearl in Red, Yumi’s cells S3, Gold Land, The Scarecrow, Climax, If wishes could kill.
