A good K-drama is incomplete without giving us some amazing to remember forever. Most youth-oriented drama shows us the value of bonds, connections, and loyalty towards friends. As a generation, we can feel lonely at times, and such friendship goals give us hope to do better, bond better and look for friends for life, more like family. Here are some of the dramas that teach us to value the people who are there for us, and to be understanding of situations, and show us how effective the smallest of gestures of kindness and faith can bring to us. I hope you can relate and find such gems in your life too.
1. Fantastic Four
The squad from Fight for My way consisted of four different people with different backgrounds and different goals and paths but what united them was their friendship and love for each other and how they supported each other throughout the series no matter what the situation. They indeed were extraordinary.
2. Swagg Squad
Our girl gang and the weightlifting trio from the drama Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo were some of the most reliable and funny trios we have ever seen. Their proper bonding over food, being there for each other, and always being reliable, but most importantly, their karaoke trips are what we desire the most.
3. Chicago Typewriter Squad
Some friendships go beyond sacrifices and love. They are so deeply entwined that they last centuries. The trio from Chicago Typewriter proved that the generations changed, but the bond between the three didn’t change. We kind of feel sad for the second lead, but we still appreciate the fact that friendship is above any other bonding.
4. Ssangmundong Gang
There is no way we talk about friendship and bonds and squads and miss out on our favorite gang from the drama “Reply 1988”, the OG squad from the 90s, the emotional yet comedic unit that needs to get together to liven up the room, they are the real example of how true friends should be, even after not being in contact for long.
5. Itaewon Class Danbam Squad

What makes friendship stand out is their ability to be there for each other through hardships.
6. The gang From My First First Love
Now, this is a story of a few people getting together and living in a house due to some circumstances and how they bond while staying together and form deep friendships that help them grow and affect them deeply to be cherished forever. Some friendships turned into relationships, but the bond between them showed us how you’re never lonely if you have friends.
7. Girl Squad From Melo Is My Nature
The squad consisting of Im Jin Joo, Lee Eun Jung, and Hwang Han Joo have been through everything together since they first became friends in college, from getting fired to losing a boyfriend to cancer. Yes, that’s a lot to go through. The girl squad has been through a lot together, but their bond is so pure, and the emotional support they show for each other is something to learn.
8. Girl Gang From “Because This Is My First Life”

Woo Soo Ji, Yoon Ji Ho, and Yang Ho Rang have been friends since school, and nothing waivered their friendship, and they overcame their biases and became each other’s Eternals.
9. Age Of Youth Squad (Both Parts)
This vast girl squad from the college drama Age of Youth, individually and as a group stands out. The squad has members Yoon Jin Myung, Jung Ye Eun, Song Ji Won, Kang Yi Na, and Yoo Eun Jae.
