Life in your 20s is… something. If you’re not feeling hopeful, philosophical, disheartened, and motivated all in the span of a day – well, you’re not doing your 20s right.
Do you ever feel like nobody gets you? Do you feel like isolating yourself? Sometimes comforting can come in the form of a wholesome series that changes your perspective on a random Tuesday night.
Here are some K-Dramas that will make you feel warm and gooey, and are a must watch for everyone in their 20s:
1. Twinkling Watermelon
Another drama about time travel? Here’s why this one is different: it balances just the right amount of angst and fuzzy feels in its 16-episode run.
Each character is lovable yet full of depth, every subplot is relatable yet thought-provoking, and overall the series captures the very essence of youth – intense relationships, the love for music, and meaningful friendships. It’s perfect to binge on anyone for in their 20s!
Side note: if you’re an OST fan, you don’t want to miss this one!
Watch on Viky.
2. Hometown Cha Cha Cha
If picturesque views and aesthetic shots are healing to your soul, Hometown Cha Cha Cha is exactly the vibe you’re looking for.
While the story explores the purposeful themes of navigating love, loss, and grief, the cinematic captures of a little seaside town appeal to everyone who loves romanticizing their life. It is the literal perfect summer watch!
Another side note: it will only fuel your desire to visit South Korea and live out your K-Drama fantasies!

3. Thirty-Nine
This one sounds a little misleading. Yes, this is a drama about three women approaching their 40s… but it tells you a lot about life. Especially in your 20s.
The message holds true for people within any age bracket – that life will always throw you curveballs, but as long as you’ve got your crew to back you up, everything will be okay.
With poignant themes like death and ageing, the plot reminds young people about the significance of female friendships that almost always end up being more fulfilling than romantic relationships.
