    As Korean entertainment continues to take over the globe, U.S. streamers are committed to building up their selection of K-dramas. While Prime Video may not have as extensive a roster as Netflix, Hulu, or Viki, its K-drama catalog has many underrated gems, alongside a great selection of Korean movies.

    Whether you're a fan of romance, thrillers, fantasy, or simply genre-defying binge-worthy TV, there's surely a show on the streamer hailing from Korea that's worth watching. Below, we've listed some of the best K-dramas you'll find on Prime Video to stream right now.

    'Anna' (2022)

    In this melodrama, Bae Suzy plays a woman who lives a grand, unpredictable life because of a series of small lies. Yu-mi (Bae) is a beautiful and talented high school student, but her working-class roots hinder her. When she's rejected from a prestigious university, she tells her parents that she got accepted. As she uses her beauty and a few small untruths to build and maintain her life of luxury, Anna ultimately realizes she has become someone she despises.

    Based on the hit WEBTOON of the same name, Death’s Game is a high-concept thriller about the meaning of life. Choi Yi-jae (Boyfriend on Demand's Seo In-guk) is at the end of his rope, after seven years of unsuccessful job hunting and falling victim to an investment scam. Yi-jae decides to end his life, but the embodiment of Death (Parasite’s Park So-dam) stops him. Instead of sending him to eternal torture, Death decides to teach him a lesson by reincarnating him into 12 lives in danger of imminent death. If Yi-jae can survive and realize why his previous choices were wrong, he can live out the remainder of his life.

As police chase after Gaetal and attempt to stop the killings, three people (played by Park Hae-jin, Park Sung-woong, and The Glory's Lim Ji-yeon) become involved.

Helping Ji-won with her plot is Yu Ji-hyuk (Na In-woo), her wealthy boss who has also been transported back in time.
