In a world where new dramas pop up every month, we are bound to miss some extraordinary ones. This is what is happening in the k-drama-land too. With so many channels and online platforms producing big-budget dramas having a star-studded cast, some dramas go unnoticed. One of the Korean TV Channels that never fails with its scripts is OCN or Orion Cinema Network. With 10 or 12 episodes, each having a runtime of one hour, these dramas are perfect to binge. So, here is a list of OCN dramas that I feel deserve more recognition.
