Missing Alchemy of Souls? Top 5 Korean fantasy-supernatural romance shows to watch in 2025
At a time when psychological thrillers like Squid Game and Death's Game are ruling streaming platforms, fans have been missing one beloved genre that has almost gone extinct. Supernatural fantasy romance once kept the K-drama craze alive, but its recent absence has left fans losing interest in OTT's expanding K-content slate. Some of the classics, from Lee Min Ho's The King: Eternal Monarch to My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho, and more recently, Lee Jae Wook's Alchemy of Souls, which shattered records.

The K-drama follows a university student who suddenly wakes up as a minor character in her favourite historical romance novel. To set the plot back on track, Cha Seon Chaek (Seohyun) is compelled to cross paths with the male lead (Ok Taecyeon), sparking a new beginning filled with unexpected romantic twists. Available in over 14 languages, the drama also stars Kwon Han Sol, Seo Bum June, and Ji Hye Won. Released in April 2025, The Haunted Palace streamed on Netflix in select regions and on Viki elsewhere. A fantasy period drama with a touch of horror, it stars Yook Sung Jae, Kim Ji Yeon, and Kim Ji Hoon.

Blending romance, fantasy, zombie action, and a pinch of comedy, the series delivers nail-biting suspense from start to finish. Newtopia is streaming on Coupang Play in South Korea and on Amazon Prime Video worldwide. While not a 2025 release, this Netflix addition has shot up to number 6 on Ranker's list of most popular K-dramas, grabbing a spot as one of the strongest supernatural fantasy shows in recent years. The story follows modern-day head chef Jang Bong-hwan (Choi Jin Hyuk), who, after a string of mishaps and clashes with the police, falls into a pool to escape, only to wake up in the Joseon Dynasty, trapped inside the body of Queen Kim So Yong (Shin Hye-sun).

The queen's strange antics and surprising cooking skills soon catch the attention of the cunning king (Kim Jung Hyun), who harbours secrets of his own. What's next is a wild, complex love story. After a long wait, Netflix is set to drop a high-stakes supernatural rom-com on August 23. The K-drama stars Lim Yoon A (King the Land, Big Mouth) and rising star Lee Chae Min (Crash Course in Romance, High Cookie) in yet another time travel tale set against a lavish royal backdrop. As the title hints, the story follows chef Yeon Jiyoung, who has trained to perfection in mastering French cuisine. At the peak of her career, she's suddenly transported back to a royal palace. There, she's ordered to cook for the 'infamously temperamental tyrant, King Yeonhui (Lee Chae-min), a ruler with a killer palate and a deadly temper,' according to the official synopsis.

Raj Kundra offers kidney to Premanand Maharaj, gets trolled: ‘Strange world we live in'
Amid Rs 60 crore fraud allegations, actor Shilpa Shetty and her husband, Raj Kundra, visited spiritual leader Premanand Maharaj in Vrindavan. A video of their visit was shared online on the guru's official channels. In the video, Raj offers one of his kidneys to the guru, whose own two kidneys are compromised. His statement quickly went viral, with many calling it a PR stunt. Premanand Maharaj also counts actor Anushka Sharma and cricketer Virat Kohli as his disciples. In a video shared by the YouTube channel Bhajan Marg, Raj Kundra can be heard saying, 'I have been following you since the past two years. You have been all over social media. When I was coming here, I was constantly thinking 'What do I question him?' And whatever questions appeared in my head, you would answer them through Instagram. Today's youth and the entire society has been following you. Your teachings are so helpful. Right now, I have no questions to ask. But, I do know that you have a failed kidney since the past two decades, I just want to say if I can ever be a help to you then I want to donate a kidney of mine to you.' Premanand replied with a laugh, 'Please, no. You stay healthy and happy… that's all I want. By God's grace, I am doing just fine.' ALSO READ | Malaika Arora says people 'pointed fingers' at her, called her 'selfish' after divorce from Arbaaz Khan: 'Co-parenting isn't easy' Raj Kundra's offering, however, was labeled a PR move. After severe backlash, Raj took to his social media handles to share a note addressing his trolls. He wrote, 'Strange world we live in when someone chooses to offer a part of themselves to save another's life, it's mocked as a PR stunt. If compassion is a stunt, may the world see more of it. If humanity is a strategy, may more people adopt it. I'm not defined by labels the media or trolls throw at me. My past does not cancel my present choices, and my present intentions are not for you to measure with your cynicism.' He concluded his note with the line, 'Judge less, love more you might just save a life too.' This, too, received backlash with many trolling him for his current association with Rs 60 crore fraud. It is reported that Raj and Shilpa have defrauded a Mumbai-based businessman for nearly Rs 61 crore. However, in a statement, the couple called the allegations 'baseless and malicious.'
