POV: If K-drama characters could RSVP to my Diwali party, I’d be sending out invites faster than a chaebol heir dodging feelings!

K-drama characters in 2025 have been entertaining to say the least and that's exactly why I'd want their personalities to light up my Diwali this year!

If I could send out Diwali party invites to my favorite K-drama characters, my guest list would be nothing short of legendary! Picture it: Fairy lights cascading like a scene straight out of a romantic montage, gulab jamuns glistening on the dessert table, and someone inevitably showing up in slow motion with emotional piano music playing in the background. Between the fireworks outside and the emotional fireworks inside, this party would make even the most dramatic K-drama finale look tame!

You’d have the brooding chaebol heir who insists on bringing an extravagant gift because “that’s just how business is done,” the sunshine heroine who starts a DIY rangoli competition and wins everyone’s hearts, and the lovable second lead who somehow ends up manning the snack counter- smiling through his heartbreak, of course. There’d be gossip, laughter, fashion moments that deserve their own OST, and maybe even a confession under the twinkle lights because no K-drama gathering is complete without one.

Here's what the guest list would look like!

Iblis and Ki Ka-Young - Genie, Make a Wish

Diwali and gifting go hand in hand and who better than a Genie to grant you everything you’d like? While Iblis takes care of my three wishes, maybe Ki Ka-Young’s Birkin collection could magically appear in my closet too!

The entire Resident Playbook gang!

Diwali parties are incomplete without getting drunk and the Resident Playbook crew elevates the fun in that with a much needed drunk karaoke session!

Ko-Gyeom - Melo Movie

As a cinephile, Ko-Gyeom is the person to have on your team during a round of Dumb Charades!

Oh Ae-Sun and Yang Gwan-Sik - When Life Gives You Tangerines

There’s so much to learn from the K-drama couple of the year! From stories of their young love to Ae-Sun reciting her poems to the entire party, the duo would definitely be the center of attention!

Mi-Ji and Mi-Rae - Our Unwritten Seoul

To ensue some twin chaos and have everyone guessing who is who at the party!

Yoon Seok-Hoon and Kang Hyo-Min - Beyond the Bar

 Honestly, they’re just an excuse, we want Hash to come along! 

King Lee-Hoon and Yeon Ji-Young - Bon Appétit, Your Majesty

Who’d ever worry about the menu, if there’s a Michelin star chef at the party? I’d be rather excited to try Yeon Ji-Young’s modern day Joseon cuisine and watch King Lee-Hoon react to it at the same time! That’s rom-com gold unfolding right in front of me!
