List of Korean dramas associated with the Korean Wave

Following the end of military rule in South Korea and the ensuing liberalization of the country's culture industry in the 1990s, an increasing number of Korean dramas began to be exported abroad. This marked the beginning of the Korean Wave, a broader cultural phenomenon encompassing the rise in global popularity of South Korean television, pop music, film, fashion, animation, literature, food, and cosmetics. During the 2000s, Jewel in the Palace and Winter Sonata achieved notable success within Asia, while in the following decades Squid Game achieved breakout success internationally.
