30 Funniest K-Dramas On Netflix

Besides the thrillers that keep audiences on their toes, K-dramas are also best known for being lighthearted, whether that's through airy rom-coms or even straight-up comedies. These kinds of shows make for the perfect relaxing weekend binges so it's no wonder they continue to be in demand and more popular than ever.

That said, as K-dramas continue to carve a niche in the mainstream, Netflix has emerged as one of the leading streaming hubs of the medium, with an ever-expanding library that adds multiple new titles every new season. And, especially as far as funny K-dramas go, Netflix has plenty to choose from, with comedies intersecting with nearly every other genre imaginable, whether that's mysteries, crime thrillers, legal dramas, or even superhero fantasies.

30 Reply 1988 (2015)

Starring Lee Hye-ri, Ryu Jun-yeol, Go Kyung-po, And Park Bo-gum

Albeit not the first installment of the Reply series, Reply 1988 is perhaps the strongest and most iconic iteration. The series has grown into a cult classic over the last decade and for good reason. With a large ensemble cast, a heartfelt story, and beautifully written characters with very impactful individual arcs of their own, Reply 1988 is quite the all-rounder.

The series is capable of delivering comedic faux pas, heart-fluttering romance, tear-jerking backstories, as well as wholesome depictions of familial love and communal spirit all in one. And, to top it all off, the series includes a good dose of late 80s to early 90s nostalgia.

29 Phantom Lawyer (2026)

Starring Yoo Yeon-seok And Esom

Legal dramas and supernatural series are both nearly always a hit when it comes to K-dramas, so it's no wonder that a series combining these two was a guaranteed recipe for success, and that is precisely what Phantom Lawyer was. The series follows attorney Shin I-rang, who gains the ability to see and communicate with spirits who eventually become his new clientele.

Rather than taking a completely spooky approach, however, Phantom Lawyer keeps things fun and fresh with a generally lighthearted tone and a variety of ghostly clients ranging from teenage girls to dogs, children, as well as elderly ghosts suffering from dementia even in the afterlife.

28 Undercover Miss Hong (2026)

Starring Park Shin-hye And Ko Kyung-po

K-dramas that evoke nostalgia always win audiences over almost immediately, and Netflix's Undercover Miss Hong is no exception. As the title suggests, the series sees Financial Supervisory Service inspector Hong Keum-bo go undercover as a fresher in a major investment firm in the hopes of finding an anonymous whistleblower as well as proof of embezzlement.

In the process of doing so, she forges new friendships with her fellow co-workers and roommates while also rebuilding old burnt bridges, all to take down the corruption that has seeped so deeply into the company. The series not only has a firm grasp on the 90s but is also female-centric with no real romance, so to speak, making it quite a unique yet enjoyable mystery comedy.

27 Our Sticky Love (2026)

Starring Ha Young and Jung Hae-in

Coming in like a sleeper hit towards the latter half of Summer 2026, Our Sticky Love is a can't-miss genre bender on Netflix. The series is centered around a young prosecutor named Go Ji-won who loses all her memories and enters a dangerous game of cat and mouse with a crime syndicate boss.

Having lost her memories, Ji-won has no choice but to believe everything that the man claiming to be her boyfriend and fiancé says, except that this man, Jang Tae-ha, is none other than the crime boss's second-in-command who secretly saved her life when she was ordered to be killed. Judging by the premise, one wouldn't immediately take Our Sticky Love for a lighthearted series, but somehow the series manages to be the perfect blend between a crime thriller and a hilarious romantic comedy.

26 The WONDERfools (2026)

Starring Park Eun-bin And Cha Eun-woo

From The Uncanny Counter to Cashero to The Atypical Family, K-dramas have attempted to put their own spin on superheroes and superpowers multiple times over the years, though none have been quite as entertaining as The WONDERfools. The series follows a group of lovable misfits who inadvertently develop supernatural powers and their respective personal journeys as they try to control said powers, each with their own hilarious mechanics.

Albeit a recent addition to Netflix's K-drama library, The WONDERfools has become one of the most popular K-drama titles on Netflix since its release owing to its incredibly entertaining superhero hijinks.

25 Love To Hate You (2023)

Starring Kim Ok-vin And Teo Yoo

Love To Hate You premiered in 2023, giving viewers a look into the life of Yeo Mi-ran (Kim Ok-vin), an independent lawyer with an interest in social justice. With a low opinion of men and some past difficulties in her love life, a switch-up from her current law firm to a male-dominated space isn't ideal. Regardless, Yeo Min-ran takes on the challenge and moves into the new job at a firm that specializes in dealing with celebrity scandals.

When one of their clients, Nam Kang-ho (Teo Yoo), makes some angry and misogynistic comments that Yeo Mi-ran overhears, she decides to get close to him and search for evidence of his wrongdoings. The battle of the sexes dynamic is what makes Love To Hate You one of the funniest K-dramas on Netflix. The series builds naturally from the characters' personalities, and the actors' chemistry is phenomenal.

24 Mr. Plankton (2024)

Starring Woo Do-hwan And Lee Yoo-mi

Mr. Plankton is one of the huge number of K-dramas added to Netflix in 2024. While many of the K-dramas to join the streamer in 2024 were more action or thriller in nature, this one is absolutely a comedy. The series follows a man who learns he has a terminal illness as he takes one last journey. Forced into accompanying him on that journey is a woman the series dubs the "unluckiest bride-to-be," a woman for whom nothing seems to go right. She also happens to be his ex.

While the premise sounds like a recipe for tragedy, it’s also a recipe for the comedy that can come alongside it. The trip is, of course, something of a disaster as hilarity and misfortune ensue. It’s the kind of show that makes the audience see how much life there is worth living even with all of the bad things that might accompany the good.

23 Doctor Slump (2024)

Starring Park Hyun-sik And Park Shin-Hye

Stories about rivals finding common ground are very common in K-dramas. This one, however, takes the rivalry from school days into adulthood and allows the characters a new perspective to connect.

In Doctor Slump, two adults work in the medical field. They consistently competed for the top rankings in classes when they were in school, but as adults, they both find themselves suffering from dips in their careers at the same time. While one is actually diagnosed with depression and finds it difficult to find joy in their work, the other is sued for malpractice after a mistake made during surgery. Despite the heavy topics, the show is able to find the comedy in their situations and in their reconnecting.

There are frank discussions of mental health, but there are also awkward rom-com encounters that help to balance the darker moments of the show. These two sides of the relationship help to make the show feel more true to life even as outlandish situations crop up.

22 Love Next Door (2024)

Starring Jung Hae-in And Jung So-min

With the influx of thrillers in K-dramas over the last few years, it might not be surprising to the audience that most of the comedies are of the rom-com variety. In the case of Love Next Door, the series leans heavily on the trope of friends to lovers with some fantastic results.

The central characters here have been friends for years but are separated by physical distance when one of them lives in the United States and the other in South Korea. When they both end up back in their hometown in Korea, they are able to quickly reconnect and go back to an easy friendship that they had as children. Of course, because this is a rom-com, that easy friendship is buoyed by romance just under the surface.

Viewers looking for straight-up comedy here should be warned that there are some heavier dramatic moments despite the show’s fun premise.

Starring Park Eun-bin And Kang Tae-oh

Extraordinary Attorney Woo follows a young attorney on the autism spectrum who has always had trouble connecting with others. When she gets her first big job at a law firm, she uses her unique point of view and her hyperfixation on marine life to help solve cases.

The show finds a delicate balance between comedy and drama, incorporating rivalries between law firms, romance, and the struggle to fit in alongside a case-of-the-week format. Much of the comedy in the series comes from characters struggling to understand one another. The chemistry of the cast also helps feed into those more comedic aspects of the show.

The show has become so popular that several different countries, including the United States, have remakes in development. A musical version of the story is also in development in South Korea.
