16 K-Drama Jobs & Beings We Need Again On Screen

If you are an avid K-Drama watcher with over 100 dramas under your belt, you most likely search for dramas with fresh topics to add to your watchlist. While searching for them, you might have a close look at the lead characters. Because if one of the lead characters has a job never seen before then that is one of the best methods to avoid a "deja-vu" feeling.

Even if the occupation of the lead character(s) might not be all in bringing a wind of freshness to the storyline, it can help a lot. Commonly seen jobs are students, office workers (sales), CEO, doctors, police officers/detective, teachers, lawyers, idols,  etc. We love them for sure. However, there were dramas that touched on occupations we'd barely seen before and we want to see more of them! 

Look at 16 jobs and beings we would like to see a K-Drama's lead character take/be once more. These might bring the wind of change we are looking for.

Note: This article does not take Korean movies, dramas of less than 6 episodes, web dramas, and dramas released before 2008 into account. This article includes light spoilers.

 

1. Mermaid

Mermaids are one of the beings we absolutely want to see the most on our screens again. Unfortunately, the fantastical Western creature was seen in too few K-Dramas compared to the huge potential it has. In "Legend of the Blue Sea" (Lee MinHo and Jun JiHyun) and "The Idle Mermaid" (Cho BoAh, On JooWan, Song JaeRim, Park JiSoo, Nam JooHyuk, and more), Jun JiHyun and Cho BoAh took the role of gorgeous mermaids ending up on earth.
