Goblin, Snowdrop, and more: 5 of BLACKPINK Lisa’s K-drama recommendations

1) Twenty-Five Twenty-One

The 2022 tvN K-drama Twenty-Five Twenty-One had BLACKPINK’s Lisa caught up in a cryfest. The K-pop idol revealed her obsession with the show in one of ELLE Korea’s videos, where she had to answer a set of questions using emojis. Her sad and weeping expressions were relatable for many fans, and rightly so.

The Nam Joo-hyuk and Kim Tae-ri starrer drama, however, is not just Lisa’s watch of the year. Other idols such as TXT’s Beomgyu, the Red Velvet members, and BTS’ Jungkook also confessed their love for the show that follows the love story of an aspiring fencer and a riches-to-rags college dropout.

2) Goblin

Considering BLACKPINK’s maknae is a major Gong Yoo stan, it comes as no surprise that Goblin is one of her favorite dramas to binge-watch. As revealed by fellow member Jisoo in an interview for the cover of Marie Claire, the two idols watched Goblin together and greatly enjoyed it.

Goblin, or Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, aired in December 2016 and became a sensation soon after. It has won numerous awards for its majestic and unique storyline and remains the fifth highest-rated K-drama in Korean cable TV history.

5) It's Okay to Not Be Okay

Among the many rom-coms in the Korean Entertainment Industry, It's Okay to Not Be Okay is a fan favorite because of its impressive plot and character development. Jisoo, the unnie of the four-member group, revealed Lisa’s enthusiasm for the show. She said,

“Lisa always watches dramas while eating…Lisa has also been enjoying It's Okay to Not Be Okay, so I'm watching it with her. The funny thing is that I find it more enjoyable to watch Lisa watching the drama rather than the drama itself."

The 2020 drama follows the story of a psych ward caretaker (portrayed by Kim Soo-hyun) and an antisocial children's book writer (portrayed by Seo Ye-ji).
