In many cases, one of the main factors that draws K-Drama fans into a series is its wonderful cast. They leave a note-worthy impression with their acting prowess that viewers cannot help but tune into their various shows. But no matter how good their acting might be, even they are unable to salvage a drama filled with plot holes and unnecessary twists that only leave your head spinning.

But that's not the case for the Hong Sisters, Hong JungEun and Hong MiRan, who have gained worldwide fame for penning multiple award-winning series. They've garnered a reputation for writing hit after hit, becoming a respected name in the Korean entertainment industry. They specialize in romantic comedies chock-full of side-splitting puns and a quirkiness that will have you begging for more.

Now, let's take a look at 7 K-Dramas written by the legendary Hong Sisters.

 

1. "You're Beautiful"

"You're Beautiful" is a certified classic. The SBS series features Park ShinHye, Jang KeunSuk, CNBLUE's Jung YongHwa, and F.T. Island's Lee HongGi. The drama tells the story of Ko MiNyeo (played by Park ShinHye) as she pretends to be her twin brother while he recovers from a serious injury. This includes standing in as a member of popular boy band A.N.Jell. Once with the band, a parade of hilarious and mind-boggling events ensue with Ko MiNyeo at the very center.

"You're Beautiful" is over a decade old, but still retains a novelty that allows it withstand the test of time. The smile-inducing humor remains the same, along with the typical K-Drama elements of love triangles and so much more! On top of everything, the drama has an unforgettable OST that will have you humming the minute you learn its melody.

 

2. "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho"

"My Girlfriend is a Gumiho" isn't the first K-Drama about a nine-tailed fox. However, it was the first to introduce the modern day gumiho roaming busy city streets. The iconic drama stars Lee SeungGi, Shin MinA, and No MinWoo. It follows aspiring action star, Cha TaeWoong (Lee SeungGi), and his fateful meeting with the legendary nine-tailed fox (Shin MinA), who later becomes known as MiHo.

At first, Cha TaeWoong is cautious and wary of MiHo. This is due to a fear that she could eat his liver! However, his worries are quickly subdued and the two share numerous experiences, bringing forth bouts of laughter from viewers. "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho" presents a touching love story that make it an easy binge from start to finish.

 

3. "The Master's Sun"

Who could forget the multi-award-winning SBS drama, "The Master's Sun". The critically acclaimed series features the legendary So JiSub and Kong HyoJin. The drama revolves around arrogant CEO, Joo JoongWon (So JiSub), and the troubled Tae KongSil (Kong HyoJin). Due to an accident, KongSil has the ability to see ghosts. However, these ghosts disappear when the two touch.

"The Master's Sun" keeps it light and fun with the Hong Sisters' usual humor and quirkiness. But that doesn't mean there isn't any depth, as its characters change notably throughout the series. The character development and romance make it a worthwhile watch, even years after its release.

 

4. "A Korean Odyssey"

"A Korean Odyssey" is a journey and a half, utilizing multiple genres and a proven cast to produce a binge-worthy series. The tvN drama features Lee SeungGi, Cha SeungWon, Oh YeonSeo, Lee HongGi, and Jang Gwang. It's a story about supernatural being Son OhGong (Lee SeungGi) and his fate-filled relationship with Jin SeonMi (Oh YeonSeo).

"A Korean Odyssey" offers a generous share of comedy, making it an easy drama to get into. But don't let that fool you, as it covers gripping topics such as life and death, as well as romantic bonds that transcend human logic. The drama will bring a great sense of entertainment on all fronts that you will want to watch over and over again.

 

5. "Warm and Cozy"

Almost 8 years later, "Warm and Cozy" continues to be a wonderful pick-me-up for any K-Drama fan. The heartfelt series features Kang SoRa and Yoo YeonSeok as its main leads. It tells a refreshing story of workaholic Lee JungJoo (played by Kang SoRa), who moves down to Jeju Island to start anew. There, she meets Baek GunWoo (played by Yoo YeonSeok), the free-spirited and unambitious chef and owner of restaurant 'Warm and cozy'.

The drama stays true to its name and brings us to the cozy countryside of Jeju. Although slow-paced, "Warm and Cozy" is touching and helps to relieve the stress of everyday life. There's just something magical about Jeju's scenic views, coupled with the Hong Sisters' amazing storytelling.

 

6. "Hotel Del Luna"

You know how schools have required reading? "Hotel Del Luna" should perhaps be required viewing for all K-Drama fans. "Hotel Del Luna" is a timeless drama that ages like fine wine. The world-renowned show employs main leads, IU as Jang ManWol and Yeo JinGoo as Goo ChanSung. The tvN drama explores their fateful relationship, filled with various ups and downs.

The pacing of the show is wonderful, providing a fair amount of humorous hijinks while moving the plot ever forward. The characters might start off prickly and immovable, but they eventually bloom wonderful shades of vibrant hues, bringing much needed color to their bleak, colorless lives. The writing on top of the casts' award-winning performances make "Hotel Del Luna" unforgettable and worth every minute.

 

7. "Alchemy of Souls" & "Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow"

With both seasons receiving international acclaim, "Alchemy of Souls" and "Alchemy of Souls: Light and Shadow" is one of the Hong Sisters' best works yet! The first season saw Lee JaeWook and Jung SoMin take on the mantle of main leads, while Go YounJung took on the role of female lead in season two. The premise of the fantasy romance is set in the fictional land of Daeho, where magic thrives and our characters' life-altering story begins.

The tvN series has it all: hard-hitting action, touching romance, and a bromance that tickles the heart. Just minutes into the first episode, viewers could already tell that the Hong Sisters' had written another hit. With a great script came amazing actors who brought the entire series to life. "Alchemy of Souls" will surely be dubbed a K-Drama classic in the distant future.
