This is one of those age-old tropes that have always existed in Korean dramas and that’s because they’re so good. 

There’s something very touching about two kids who were childhood friends becoming lovers and if you think so as well, then you’re going to love them so much. 

1. See You In My 19th Life

Ban Ji Eum has a remarkable ability: she remembers all her past lives. 

Reincarnating for centuries, she lives each life diligently, but after a tragic end to her 18th life, she tries to reconnect with her past and find Moon Seo Ha. 

Even though she wasn’t childhood friends with him in her present life, she met him as a kid and fell in love with his spirit and I found that so beautiful. 

2. Come And Hug Me

Yoon Na Moo and Gil Nak Won, childhood sweethearts, are torn apart when Na Moo’s psychopathic father murders Nak Won’s parents. 

Years later, Na Moo becomes Chae Do Jin, a rookie detective seeking redemption, while Nak Won becomes Han Jae Yi, an aspiring actress. 

When their paths cross again, these two fight against everything to protect their love.
