Korean dramas or Drakor are favored by Indonesian teenagers because they have their own charm. Drakor are a medium of learning and entertainment for teenagers. However, drakor also have a negative impact when watching excessively. This study aims to determine the positive and negative impacts of teenagers who like to watch drakor. The method used is descriptive quantitative and a sample of 25 Al-Azhar BSD high school students. The results showed that teenagers who liked watching drakor movies were 15 students (60%). Most students feel the benefits of increasing Korean vocabulary as many as 12 students (80%). The negative impacts that arise are staying up late more often as many as 8 students (53.3%), rarely doing assignments, and watching as many as 5 students (33.3%). It can be concluded that Drakor have many impacts on teenagers' lives.
