Although there are many K-dramas worthy of viewers' attention, not many people dive deeper into the genre than the 2010s. While some worry about the outdated visuals, others are afraid of hurtful stereotypes and prejudiced storylines.
While both concerns are valid, the stories these shows tell are entertaining enough to keep anyone glued to their screens, and nostalgic enough to make viewers long for the days long gone. If you want to give an older K-drama a try, here are 10 you might want to start with.
Winter Sonata (2002)
When Joon Sang first appeared in the lives of 3 high school friends, he was cold and had trouble opening up, but decided to let them all in anyway. The friendship didn't last long, though, as he disappeared as abruptly as he arrived. 10 years later, they had all moved on with their lives, but he reappeared to bring back the strongest memories and feelings.

Gamefly plans to shut down its video game streaming service at the end of August, according to the company’s support line and messages being sent to the service’s users, Variety has learned.
The last day of support for the streaming service will be Aug. 31. Accounts will not be charged after that date, and the company plans to continue its disc-based game rentals through mail.
The streaming service delivered video games to a number of supported smart TVs and streaming media players, which could be played with a controller or a smartphone.

The company expanded by acquiring Shacknews in 2009 and MobyGames in 2011. Earlier this year, Electronic Arts announced it was acquiring the company’s cloud gaming technology assets and personnel.
