Top 10 K-Drama Intros We Will Never Skip
Apple TV+ / Wavve / Netflix The title sequence of a K-Drama is the first thing we see when we start the show. Usually, it is accompanied by visuals that hint at the storyline and sometimes introduce the characters along with an opening song. Oftentimes, after seeing it once, we tend to press the "Skip Intro" button to quickly get to the start of the episode. However, there are some K-Drama intros that simply cannot be skipped. Here are the top 10 K-Drama intros that are so gorgeous that we watch them through every time! Note: This list is not a ranking, but we're opening a poll at the end of the article where you can vote for your favorite. The vote will not be closed, so no result article will be published. "Weak Hero Class 1" boasts one of the most artistic, poignant, and impactful K-Drama intros of recent times. It sets the mood perfectly with the cold color palette, and Meego's 'Hero' (Prod. by Primary) is the perfect OST to go along with it. Evoking a sense of melancholy but also hope, this intro is one for the history books. The opening of "Big Mouth" is a work of art. It elicits a thrilling, suspenseful mood right off the bat, preparing us for the epic saga that's to come. Each scene is brilliantly correlated and highlights essential aspects of the drama. Moreover, it features Franz Schubert's 'Erlkönig', which makes this opening even more impactful. It was a hard choice for us to pick between the title sequences of the two seasons of "Taxi Driver" but the added pizzazz of the second season intro is just off the charts. It retains a similar style as the first season but makes it even more addictive and colorful. With such an exciting intro, you already know that the drama is going to be good. The title sequence of "Little Women" is a puzzle in and of itself. It is brilliantly symbolic, extremely well-made, and unique. It introduces each character with details that you can only unravel when you watch the drama, which is what makes it all the more interesting. Even if we rewatch the drama a hundred times, we're never skipping this amazing intro. The opening of "The Glory" is hauntingly beautiful and perfectly matches with the grand scale of the drama. It is dark, devoid of much color and has a poetic quality to it. It is filled to the brim with motifs - some evident and others more covert. There's a certain stillness to this intro that mirrors the slow burn effect of the drama and we're mesmerized every time. One of the finest K-Zombie dramas of all time, "Kingdom" also has an iconic opening scene that sends chills down our spine every time it comes up on our screen. It is minimalistic and quiet, laced with horror and dread, leaving an indelible impression on viewers. It does not try to play safe and as such, has an arthouse feeling to it. Needless to say, we're never skipping this intro. The opening of "It's Okay To Not Be Okay" perfectly represents the dark fairytale theme of the drama. From the stop motion to the paper art, the chiaroscuro, and the contrasts, everything adds a sense of transience to the atmosphere, reminding us that this is a complex yet delicate story that is about to unfold. It draws our attention and holds it, just like a good title sequence should. "Beyond Evil" is a riveting drama full of dark secrets and a relentless chase of the truth. Its opening scene is just as compelling, almost as if we're taken along on the investigation. There's a dizzying effect to this sequence and it adds to our curiosity. Once this intro is on your screen, it is virtually impossible to look away, let alone skip it. The opening of "Sweet Home" wonderfully captures the psychological horror of the show. It starts off like a noir film, bringing out feelings of paranoia before transitioning to an outstanding abstract/surrealist black, white, and red animated sequence. It also peppers in elements reminiscent of the original webtoon. In addition, BewhY's OST 'Side by Side' brings it all together with perfection. Finally, we cannot possibly conclude this list without one of the most hypnotizing and charming opening sequences ever - "Pachinko"! The Grass Roots' song 'Let's Live for Today' ushers us into a dazzling pachinko parlor where all our main characters are seen dancing their hearts out gleefully. In a way, this title sequence is the happiest our characters are ever seen, which adds a layer of meaning to the same. There's no way we're ever skipping this. In fact, we might just dance along!
