I like learning about foreign languages, so even though I don’t understand a word they say, I watch them in Korean with subtitles.
There are also some excellent series about Korean food. What I call food porn—it looks so good, even if I might not want to eat it in real life.

Try “K Foodshow: A Nation of Broth” or “Korean Cold Noodle Rhapsody” or “Korean Porkbelly Rhapsody.” You’ll learn a lot!
Yes “Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha” is delightful and fun.
“Squid Game” is dark and violent and got great reviews in the U.S.
“Vincenzo” is about a Korean raised in Italy by a godfather. He’s good at heart, of course, and returns to Korea to right wrongs.
I’ve seen others I’ve enjoyed, but I can’t find them right now. It’s interesting how—much more than American shows—it seems that there has to be male and female leads who are very beautiful and wear great clothes. And the guy’s skin is as flawless as the girl’s, and he wears a lot of makeup, including lipstick. Goes with the genre. Also, it may take twelve episodes of romantic tension before the first kiss, and there is no sex or nudity.
