Here's our list of the Top 5 Teen Romance Korean dramas. Young love, puppy love, first love, these dramas have it all.

5. Mischievous Kiss

"Mischievous Kiss" is based on a Japanese manga and follows the success of a similar Taiwanese adaptation "It Started With a Kiss". Kim Hyun Joong plays the indifferent genius Baek Seung Jo who is forever chased by Oh Ha Ni (Jung So Min). The story is a bit tiring as it's almost an unrequited and guessing love till closer to the end. It's definitely a fan drama for Kim Hyun Joong shippers.

She meets the four richest and most popular guys in school called F4 and initially butts head with team leader Goo Joon Pyo. Lee Min Ho makes a fantastic debut as a lead and the other F4 members also add to the eye candy.

2. Goong
