Brace yourself, K-drama fans—2025 is shaping up to be a golden year for Choi Woo Shik! Our favorite soft boy is making a double comeback in the romance genre, starring in Melo Movie alongside Park Bo Young AND Would You Marry Me with Jung So Min. I mean, TWO romance dramas in one year? We are so fed.
If you’ve been missing his charming, sometimes awkward but always endearing acting, it’s the perfect time for a Woo Shik marathon. From swoon-worthy rom-coms to gripping thrillers, here are five dramas starring Choi Woo Shik that you absolutely need to add to your watchlist.
1. Melo Movie (2025) — A Love Story for Movie Buffs
📺 Watch on: Netflix
⭐ IMDb Rating: 8.0/10
Imagine falling for someone just because their name sounds like movie. Sounds random? Not for Go Gyeom (played by Choi Woo Shik), a film critic with an undying love for cinema who used to be an extra in movies. When he meets Kim Mu Bee (Park Bo Young), a woman working in the film industry, he becomes completely fascinated—not just by her personality, but also by her name, which reminds him of his biggest passion: movies.
This drama is a love letter to film lovers, mixing romance, humor, and that irresistible K-drama charm. Plus, Woo Shik and Bo Young’s chemistry? SO CUTE. If you’re looking for a lighthearted watch that will make you laugh, swoon, and maybe cry a little, Melo Movie should be your next binge.
2. A Killer Paradox (2024) — When a Good Guy Becomes a Serial Killer
📺 Watch on: Netflix
⭐ IMDb Rating: 7.1/10
If you’re used to seeing Choi Woo Shik in soft, boyfriend-material roles, get ready to have your mind blown. In A Killer Paradox, he plays Lee Tang, a completely ordinary college student who ends up killing a man in self-defense… only to discover that his victim was actually a wanted serial killer.
Here’s where it gets wild: instead of turning himself in, Lee Tang starts taking justice into his own hands, going after criminals the police haven’t caught yet. But his every move is being watched by Jang Nam Gang (Son Suk Gu), a detective determined to bring him down.
The tension in this drama is INSANE—think Vincenzo meets Dexter. If you love dark thrillers with unpredictable plot twists, this one is a must-watch.
3. Our Beloved Summer (2021) — A Second-Chance Romance That Will Ruin You
📺 Watch on: Netflix
⭐ IMDb Rating: 8.2/10
You know those dramas that completely wreck your emotions but in the best way possible? That’s Our Beloved Summer.
Woo Shik plays Choi Ung, a carefree illustrator who finds himself stuck filming a documentary with his ex-girlfriend Kook Yeon Su (Kim Da Mi). They had broken up five years ago and promised never to see each other again, but their old high school documentary suddenly goes viral, forcing them back into each other’s lives.
What follows is an emotional rollercoaster of unresolved feelings, bickering, longing stares, and painful yet beautiful moments. If you love slow-burn romances that make you feel EVERYTHING, this drama is the one. Plus, the cinematography? Absolutely breathtaking.
4. Fight For My Way (2017) — The Ultimate Underdog Story
📺 Watch on: Netflix
⭐ IMDb Rating: 8.1/10
Even though Choi Woo Shik isn’t the main lead in this one, his character definitely steals some scenes!
Fight For My Way is all about chasing your dreams, no matter how impossible they seem. It follows Ko Dong Man (Park Seo Joon), a former taekwondo star trying to become an MMA fighter, and Choi Ae Ra (Kim Ji Won), who dreams of being a broadcaster. Meanwhile, Woo Shik plays Park Moo Bin, a wealthy doctor who tries to woo Ae Ra with his sweet personality (but lowkey gives second-lead syndrome vibes).
This drama has the perfect mix of humor, romance, and underdog energy, making it one of those feel-good shows that leave you motivated and happy. Also, if you love watching characters pursue their dreams despite all odds, this one will definitely hit home.
5. Ho Goo’s Love (2015) — A Romance Full of Surprises

Woo Shik in a pure, clueless, soft-boy role? YES PLEASE.
In Ho Goo’s Love, he plays Ho Gu, a kindhearted guy who has NEVER been in a relationship. When he reconnects with his first love, Do Hee (Uee), he ends up in the most unexpected situation—one that involves romance, drama, and a big life-changing secret.
This drama is cute, emotional, and full of surprises. If you love K-dramas that blend comedy with heartfelt moments, this one is for you.
