Best Korean Web Dramas Of 2017

Posted on by

Greetings Dramatics! It’s your favorite Drama Queen back again with some web dramas that have been fan favorites in 2017. In case you are new to K-Dramas, a web drama is a drama that is viewed on the internet, hence the name web drama. Usually these dramas are have a few episodes with the watch time being anywhere between 8-15 minutes per episode. These dramas oftentimes cast K-Pop idols which highlights their acting skills. Web dramas are great if you are in between dramas, waiting for a new drama to start, or if you want to watch something quick. Some viewers don’t enjoy web dramas as much because the plot can often feel rushed, and the drama really doesn’t give the characters and story a chance to develop fully because of the length. Web dramas are not that popular so I wanted to highlight a few that I think deserve a watch. Without further adieu, here are some of the Best Web Dramas Of 2017!
