In Korea, it’s rare for dramas to have more than one season, and if they do, they rarely follow the typical Western format of season finales with cliffhangers. However, in recent years, a few series, especially those from platforms like Netflix, have started adopting this approach. Personally, I enjoy the one-season format, but some stories feel like they have the potential to continue. In this list, I’m sharing a selection of K-dramas with multiple seasons. Some of them I absolutely love as they are, and I’m eagerly waiting for more episodes, while in other cases, I’m not entirely convinced they needed additional seasons. I hope you enjoy my recommendations! | Disclaimer: This list includes some affiliate links. If you make a purchase through these links, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

About the Palomino Blackwing Pencil: Legendary **Grammy, Emmy, Pulitzer and Academy Award** winners have created with the Blackwing 602 pencil. The list of known users includes John Steinbeck, Looney Tunes creator Chuck Jones, and Disney animator Shamus Culhane who, according to animation historian Charles Soloman, asked to be buried with his Blackwing 602. Blackwing’s roots go back to the 1930’s when the 602 model was first introduced by the Eberhard Faber Pencil Company. Over the years, the pencil with the unique rectangular eraser became synonymous with quality. Then, in 1998, after several corporate acquisitions, it was discontinued, but not forgotten. In fact, fans began paying as much as $40 on eBay for a single Blackwing pencil. In 2007, we introduced our Palomino range of pencils using Genuine Incense-cedar and premium Japanese graphite. Artists and writers started comparing them to their beloved Blackwing 602s, and folks began asking us to consider reviving the Blackwing brand. We tapped into over 100 years of family-run pencil industry experience to re-introduce Blackwing pencils in 2010. In the 10 years since its revival, Blackwing has grown from a single pencil into a culture. It’s a culture that's all about living mindfully and finding balance in our fast paced lives.
