2. Move to Heaven 

This drama was inspired by the non-fiction essay “Things Left Behind” by Kim Sae Byul. He had mentioned before in an interview that he cleaned the house of a man in his 70s who died alone and was only found many weeks later. It was in the form of different and was only found many weeks later. It was in the form of different characters but an exact setting was featured in one of the episode. 

3. Signal 

The top-rating K-Drama Signal stars Lee Je Hoon and Kim Hye Soo. The crimes shown in the series were derived from real cases in South Korea. This includes the Park Chorong Bitnari kidnapping case and also the Hwaseong serial murders that took place in Gyeonggi province. 

4. Reply 1988 

The series of K-Drama was loved by many viewers. One of the characters from the story was inspired by a real person. Taek played by Park Bo Gum was actually inspired by a real-life Baduk player, Lee Chang Ho which won lots of local and international Baduk tournaments. 

5. Crash Landing on You

While I am watching 2 currently airing shows (My Sweet Mobster & Serendipity's Embrace) and 2 completed dramas (The Crowned Clown & A Shop for Killers), there's still a lull in new shows (especially romcoms) until after the Olympics.

HIS PLAN WAS SHIT YOUR HONOR (i hope they explode)

[vindicated-truth]

Signal is going to have a new season after NINE years. That’s nearly a decade in between.

What does it mean about the future of Kdramas that only had one season, with this tentative hope of the very real possibility of more now 🥹

lee je-hoon playing a character that's younger than me... but then again dude looks exactly the same as he did 9 years ago

Propaganda:

The Signal characters: Hae-young is in the future and can communicate with Jae-han through a walkie talkie, while Jae-han is in the past. Soo-young works with both of them. All three are connected and have an amazing bond, an iconic trio separated but connected through timelines.

So Paramount+ added the kdrama Signal (2016) for US viewers. If you haven't seen it yet, I really recommend it. It has timetraveling crime solving with some of my favorite kactors, including Kim Hye Soo and Lee Je Hoon. 2016 was a really good year for dramas imo.
