Binging on K-Dramas is something that we are all guilty of. It may not be a healthy lifestyle but whoever can stop after watching one episode deserves a medal. But we don’t always have enough time and this list is for those who want to binge watch in between their busy schedule.

K-Dramas makes us want to keep saying, “Just one more episode” but it is difficult to binge watch your usual 16-20 or more episode long dramas during exam time or when you are busy with work.
