The drama adaptation of this comic is called Strangers From Hell on Netflix. At only 10 episodes, it’s a short series that’s packed with thrills, scares, and plenty of creepiness that will have you hiding under your sheets. Besides the intriguing plot, credit should also be given to the cast for bringing their A game as they fully immersed themselves in their characters.

21. Clean With Passion For Now

Clean with Passion for Now is a romantic story where a man with germaphobia who runs a cleaning company, falls in love with a dirty girl (dirty like poor hygiene, not the other way) who is super bright and positive. This kdrama was pretty light and fun to watch.

22. The Tale Of Nokdu

24. True Beauty

True Beauty was a smash hit on streaming platforms when it debuted in 2020. The K-drama revolved around a young teenage girl who was always ridiculed for her appearance. When she gets the opportunity to switch schools, she decided to get a makeover.

Now bubbling with confidence, she becomes a popular beauty at school. The drama enthralled fans as it had a riveting love triangle between two former best friends who have feelings for the main character. The drama is based on a webtoon by Yaongyi. The creator expressed it was a dream come true to see her work be turned into a drama.

25. Cheese In The Trap

The drama started off on the same premise as the webtoon. But since it was filmed before the author completed the entire series, the ending differs from the webtoon.

And a drama is definitely incomplete without some drama involved, and Cheese In The Trap steps it up a notch by bringing that into real life. As mentioned, the webtoon series was incomplete before the drama went into production. The author openly expressed her displeasure at the fact that the crew only checked in with her on the finalised script right before shooting the ending.

However, much like most dramas that eventually reach a resolution, the director has personally apologised for their negligence and Soonkki has since accepted his apology.

26. Memorist

Here’s an action thriller comic for those who live for adrenaline. Dong Baek may look like a normal detective going around catching bad guys, but he actually possesses the ability of reading people’s memories.

Follow him as he puts his talent to good use by working together with Han Sun-mi, a gifted criminal profiler, to solve a series of murders. But the duo gets more than what they bargained when they discover secrets about themselves they wish they never knew.

27. My ID Is Gangnam Beauty

The drama adaptation spices things up a little by adding more characters, as well as scenes that weren’t in the webtoon.

Mi-rae’s personal thoughts were actually more expressive in the comic as compared to her reserved in the drama. But that’s understandable as a two-dimensional comic has to convey emotions via speech bubbles, while a live-action drama can express that through actions.

The original writer stated that she was very grateful that Im Soo-hyang took up the role, as plastic surgery is still a touchy subject despite its popularity.
