It’s a common phrase among drama fans: the drama you didn’t know you needed. It usually signifies a story that snuck up on you in some way. Either you weren’t anticipating it at all, or you weren’t anticipating how — and how deeply — it would grab you.
To me, it’s all a part of the K-drama magic, because as we mentioned last week, sometimes the dramas you are excited about aren’t the ones you wind up watching. Sometimes another story finds you instead… as if on purpose.
What’s your current “drama you didn’t know you needed”? Or, what’s a drama that once signified that for you in the past? What made it strike a nerve or capture your heart?
