Forget Bridgerton, Here Are 7 Steamy K-Dramas to Make Even a Seasoned Fan Blush

Bridgerton Season 3 is not expected to land on Netflix for at least another six months or even longer, so fans of passionate love stories with sexy moments are left to pine for the beloved show.

Fortunately, Bridgerton is not the only example of the genre, and the showmakers have created many sensual love stories, the kings of which are arguably South Korean projects.

If you thought K-dramas could never offer anything hotter than a longing look, here are seven examples that prove otherwise.

Business Proposal (2022)

The show follows a female lead who goes on a blind date instead of her best friend and realizes that the man who came to meet her is actually her boss. The awkward situation turns into a compelling story with the development of two passionate romances and several steamy on-screen scenes.

Love to Hate You (2023)

What could be spicier than a good enemies-to-lovers trope? That's the main theme of Love to Hate You, in which a woman who hates losing to men and a man suspicious of women find happiness in their warring relationship. The sexual tension is palpable and the foreplay is fantastic.

Lovestruck in the City (2020)

This refreshing drama is set in an interview format and features six people talking about their dating lives. The result is a great story about friendships, relationships and a journey to find one's own identity, spiced with the hottest first kisses in K-drama history.

Another Miss Oh (2016)

The story follows the tumultuous relationship between a reserved sound director and a hapless caterer, both of whom were dumped before their weddings. The pain of the past helps them bond, but will the affection of one overcome the dark secrets of the other? The show is truly sensual and features the biggest leaping hug into a flying bra pad in all of Dramaland.

The Package (2017)

How can a romantic show set in Paris not be electric? A tour guide leads an eclectic group of tourists on a package tour. Although they are strangers at first, the time spent together brings these people with different backgrounds and life goals together and they form all kinds of relationships, including romantic ones, which get hot a good few times.

Dali & Cocky Prince (2021)

The relationship between the owner of a struggling art museum and her creditor goes from professional to romantic, with some sweet amorous moments. It's refreshing to see a female lead take the initiative in some, if not all, of the sexy interactions.

Healer (2014)

The story presented in Healer has everything you could want from the series: a past mystery involving the people who run an illegal pro-democracy broadcasting station, a series of present-day murders, investigation, action, fights, and the palpable chemistry between the leads that lends itself very well to their steamy scenes.
