K-dramas, shows and movies recommendations by BLACKPINK Jennie

Beyond Evil – Netflix
Jennie openly shared her love for the K-drama Beyond Evil in 2021 while replying to fans online. Calling it her current Netflix obsession at the time, she even requested viewers not to spoil it for her as she hadn’t finished watching. The psychological thriller follows two detectives chasing a serial killer, slowly blurring the line between good and evil. Jennie’s repeated mentions turned the show into a must-watch for BLINKs.



Notting Hill – Netflix / Prime Video
In a Vogue Korea interview, Jennie named Notting Hill as her favourite movie at the time. The 1997 rom-com stars Hugh Grant as a humble bookstore owner who unexpectedly falls for a famous actress played by Julia Roberts. Jennie’s choice highlights her soft spot for classic love stories that feel warm, simple and timeless.

Stranger Things – Netflix

A self-proclaimed Netflix fan, Jennie has spoken multiple times about rewatching Stranger Things while waiting for new seasons. During a live stream, she shared how the show kept her company between releases. Her fandom even caught the attention of the cast, with Finn Wolfhard and others sending her special messages and gifts, making it a full-circle fan moment. Now, we are wondering whether she likes Season 5 or not.

Game of Thrones – JioHotstar
In the same live session where she mentioned Stranger Things, Jennie also spoke about binge-watching Game of Thrones. Set in the fictional land of Westeros, the epic fantasy series is known for its power struggles, dragons and shocking twists. Jennie’s interest shows her love for large-scale, immersive storytelling.

The Vampire Diaries – Prime Video
Jennie once revealed that during her trainee days at YG Entertainment, she watched The Vampire Diaries “all the time.” The supernatural drama follows a teenage girl who falls in love with a vampire, blending romance with mystery. For Jennie, it was clearly a comfort show during her early grind years.


Money Heist – Netflix
Jennie has also recommended the Spanish series Money Heist to fans. Her connection to the show went beyond watching, it even led to her receiving exclusive props and costumes from the series. The high-stakes heist drama, led by the enigmatic Professor, remains one of Netflix’s most popular global shows.

Squid Game – Netflix
It was only natural for Squid Game to make Jennie’s list, especially since her close friend Jung Ho-yeon stars in it. The survival drama follows desperate contestants competing in deadly games for prize money. Jennie’s recommendation carried a personal touch, making it even more special for fans.

If you’re looking to celebrate Jennie’s birthday the cosy way, her watchlist proves she enjoys stories that are intense, emotional and unforgettable, just like her stage presence.
