K-Drama guilty pleasures that are surprisingly successful globally

Dramas that ranked 1st and 2nd on Netflix globally 

1. Business Proposal

2. King the Land

When the Phone Rings

Business Proposal is high quality compared to others of that genre, while the other two are insanely guilty pleasures.

It means a drama that you watch secretly, but turns out to be a huge hit.

'If a dead body shows up, then call me.'

'Don't let your emotions get involved between us.'

'Do you want to take it off yourself, or shall I do it for you?'

'Tell me. How can I hate you? How can I stop loving you?'
