With winter on its way out, the K-drama scene is heating up once again. Whether you’re in the mood for a good cry, a total mind-meld, or just some wholesome vibes, these February K-dramas have you covered. With popular stars reuniting and some interesting new plots, we’re ready for it all. Here’s our recommendation of the must-watch K-dramas to add to your list this month.
Bloody Flower
What happens when a killer sees himself as a savior? Bloody Flower follows a former medical student (Ryeoun as Lee Woo-gyeom) who justifies his brutal murders as “experiments” for a miracle cure. Things get really messy when a lawyer (Sung Dong-il as Park Han-joon) tries to keep Woo-gyeom alive to save his sick daughter, putting him directly in the crosshairs of a prosecutor (Keum Sae-rok as Cha Yi-yeon) hungry for justice. If you’re into dark crime thrillers with a moral twist, this one is as dark and twisted as they come, and will definitely leave you questioning what’s right and wrong.
Release Date: Feb. 4
Our Universe
This found-family romantic comedy is a total mess, but in the best way possible. You’ve got Seon Tae-hyung (Bae In-hyuk) and Woo Hyun-jin (Roh Jeong-eui), two in-laws who hate each other’s guts, forced to play “mom and dad” to their toddler nephew after an unexpected family tragedy. It’s equal parts stressful parenting and an insightful enemies-to-lovers arc, proving that nothing brings people together quite like a family crisis. Or in this case, the sleep-deprived madness of raising a kid.

The Art of Sarah
The Art of Sarah reunites Shin Hye-sun and Lee Joon-hyuk (previously seen sharing screen time in Stranger, 2017-2020) in this slick psychological thriller. Shin plays Sarah Kim, a high-flying fashion exec living a total lie. Things get wild when a body — supposedly hers — turns up, sending Detective Park Mu-gyeong (Lee Joon-hyuk) down a rabbit hole to find out who she actually was. It’s a racy hunt for a woman who managed to be everywhere while leaving no trace behind, a tense narrative that delves deep into what happens when someone’s identity is a complete ghost.
Release Date: Feb. 13
In Your Radiant Season
A “cold queen” fashion designer meets a “happy soul” animator in this new healing drama. While Song Ha-ran (Lee Sung-kyung) has shut the world out, Seonu Chan (Chae Jong-hyeop) is hiding his own struggle with hearing and memory loss. It’s a soulful, cathartic romance marking a much-anticipated pairing of two emotionally compelling and very popular Korean actors.
Release Date: Feb. 20, 2026
The Practical Guide to Love
If you’re looking for a more relatable rom-com, Han Ji-min is back to give you The Practical Guide to Love. Based on the hit webtoon Efficient Dating for Singles, it follows a career-focused Lee Eui-young (Han) exploring the complex world of blind dates while under pressure to get married. Watch her get stuck between a down-to-earth woodworker and a charming free spirit in this lighthearted journey of self-discovery. It’s an especially good watch for anyone who’s ever wondered what they actually want in a partner.
