The usual Korean dramas have 16 to 20 episodes. However, some viewers might not have that much time on their hands. This is the reason for curating a Korean mini-series list with renowned dramas. Less than 12 episodes are considered mini-series. So, without any further ado, let’s look at the dramas.
The mini-series tells a concise storytelling with a rather direct concept. The actors give their best and crisp performances, keeping the audience engraved with each episode.
