Amazon Prime Video has been carrying K-Dramas for many years, but their catalog options were quite limited, usually consisting of only a few older dramas — to help your expanding watchlist, we have compiled the best there is on the streaming service.
Recently, they upped their game and started airing current dramas that ran at the same time on South Korean TV channels, similar to how Netflix operates. They also started expanding their library with newer, completed dramas. Prime Video also offers the ability to purchase digital versions of many of its non-original K-Dramas, something that separates itself from other streaming services.
Over the years, FlixPatrol has been monitoring the popularity of TV shows on various streaming services, using their proprietary points system to assign points based on criteria such as placement in the top 10, etc.
