Why These Shows Stand Out

These shows and movies are unique because they apply fantasy to their interesting stories. Most of them have:

  • Creativity in worlds and concepts
  • Characters you care about
  • Thrilling plots that you just can’t guess
  • Very many genres and romance, action, or comedy rolled into one.

This list includes a mix of fantasy shows, featuring several Korean dramas, animated series, and even a couple of movies. If you like magic, monsters, time travel, or just imaginative stories, then you’ll probably find something on this list that piques your interest
