Sexy Korean Dramas 2022
Our Beloved Summer
- Genre: Romantic Comedy
- IMDB Rating: 8.9/10
- Starring: Woo-Sik Choi and Kim Da-Mi
Sexiness Meter – 7/10
This romantic comedy portrays the mixed feelings of a couple- Choi Ung (Choi Woo-Sik) and Kook Yeon-Su (Kim Da-Mi) who filmed a hit documentary ten years ago, when they were in high school, and how they broke up.
Fate brings them closer as they find themselves in front of the camera, yet again.
Choi Ung is a free-spirited and very naive man who wishes to have something for the first time in his life.
While Kook Yeon-Su who always dreamed of becoming the top student at her school is now a mature young adult that is adapting to her reality with a wound in her heart and living fiercely.
What is interesting is that Our Beloved Summer isn’t about just the steamy romance and spark between the characters but the way the story is narrated.
These two former high school sweethearts meet years after their break up even though neither of them has moved on from the relationship and their egos prevent them from reaching out to each other.
The soundtrack is amazing and even features an original soundtrack in the first episode and teaser by BTS idol V which is partly why so many BTS fans are getting hooked on this sexy drama.
It’s Okay to Not be Okay
- Genre: Romantic Comedy, Drama
- IMDB Rating: 8.7/10
- Starring: Kim-Soo Hyun and Seo Ye-Ji
Sexiness Meter – 8.5/10
This captivating romantic television drama portrays a story about a caregiver Moon Kang Tae ( Kim Soo Hyun)who does not believe in love and a popular children’s book author Ko moon Young( Seo Ye Ji) who is selfish, arrogant, and rude and suffers from an antisocial personality disorder.
Moon Kang Tae’s job entails him writing about various patients’ conditions and what to do in unexpected situations.
What I liked most is that It’s Okay To Not Be Okay narrates a unique and wonderful love story between the two characters while also addressing important mental health issues and mental wellness.
This is definitely a one-of-a-kind drama about how the two characters heal each other’s emotional wounds.
The drama features an empowering female lead and revolves around some powerful themes.
And yes, you might start watching it for the passionate romance, but ‘It’s okay to not be okay’ emphasizes the fact that nobody can escape problems in life and how we must deal with such issues.
So it’s got a good message and plot as well!
Another powerful theme in the drama is family and that can be seen in the hero’s relationship with his late mother and autistic brother.
I know. I know. It’s not exactly steamy romance fodder. But it’s just a subplot and there’s always the fast forward feature!
This must-see drama really highlights the fact that it is really okay not to be okay at times and that feeling is acceptable.
My Secret Romance

His father sends him to one of their resorts to be well-trained in a hope that he would change. Lee Yoo Mi (Song Ji Eun), an aspiring nutritionist has a bumpy relationship with her mother and is forced to attend her wedding outside the city.
Although the two characters lock eyes on the bus on the way to the hotel, they bump into each other at the hotel where Cha Jin Wook is working as a bellboy and bump into Lee Yoo Mi with a cake tray.
Now that’s what I call a meet-cute!
After some childlike bickering, the two of them end up at the seaside sharing a bottle of wine together where they chat about their lives and end up having a one-night stand.
Fast forward to three years later, the characters meet again. Although this steamy and sexy rom-com can be a little predictable at times, I guarantee you will love every second of it.

But the game of seduction turns into something real when the two characters end up falling for each other and what is worse is that Eun Tae-hee finds out about this plan.

This cliche love story between a bad boy and a nice girl is always such a hit. But hey, I’m here for the steamy scenes. So who cares!

FAQs about Erotic Korean Dramas
Which Kdrama has most kissing scenes?
While traditionally Korean dramas very sort of conservative and shied away from showing any sort of physical intimacy on screen. This has changed a lot in recent times. There are several K-dramas right now that have a lot of kissing scenes in them.
Some of the Korean dramas with the most kissing scenes in them include What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim, Her Private Life, Oh My Venus, and Suspicious Partners.
Which is the most intimate Kdrama?
There can be different interpretations and meanings of the word intimate. So I’d like to say that this is subjective. But there are several K-dramas that combine the best of physical intimacy and romance in their narratives. Some of these Korean dramas include “It’s Okay To Not Be Okay” which also delves into making a very intellectually intimate storyline for it’s couple, Descendants of the Sun, Crash Landing on You, etc.
Which K-drama couple has the best chemistry?
Ooh boy! This is going to be controversial. Everyone has their own favorite K-drama couple who they find have the best chemistry. According to me, the characters of Sunny and Grim Reaper from Goblin, Son Ye-Jin and Hyun Bin from Crash Landing on You, and of course, Ji-Hoo and Ji-Woo from Love and Leashes.
If you’re tired of the same old cutesy, teeny-bopper romances in Korean dramas, you can check out these steamy stories instead.

What I like is that these K-dramas are known for their great plots too. So you won’t get bored by just watching the steamy scenes.
They, instead, will keep you on the edge of your seat and so intriguing that you will finish an entire season in a day just to know what will happen next.
