When most second-gen K-pop groups were perfecting choreo and matching stage fits, CNBLUE came in strumming guitars and wrecking hearts with real instruments—and guess what? They’ve been just as lethal on the drama screen.

Jung Yong Hwa, Kang Min Hyuk, and Lee Jung Shin didn’t just stop at music. They’ve been quietly (and sometimes loudly) slaying the K-drama game with iconic roles, unforgettable soundtracks, and onscreen charisma that jumps through the screen. Whether you're a longtime BOICE or just stumbled into the CNBLUE cinematic universe (hello, welcome 👋), here are 7 binge-worthy dramas featuring the band’s multi-talented members.

🎤 1. You're Beautiful (2009)

Star: Jung Yong Hwa
Let’s kick it off with the OG gateway drama. Yong Hwa plays the ever-gentle Kang Shin Woo, bassist of A.N.JELL (aka your second-lead syndrome origin story). It’s got gender-bending hijinks, dorm-room chaos, and a soundtrack that still slaps. If you haven’t seen this classic yet—WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

🎶 2. Heartstrings (2011)

Stars: Jung Yong Hwa & Kang Min Hyuk
A campus drama where K-music meets K-romance. Reunited with Park Shin Hye, Yong Hwa plays cocky band leader Lee Shin (and yes, he’s brooding with a guitar again 💔). Meanwhile, Min Hyuk as the ultra-sweet drummer steals hearts with his iconic aegyo and smiley energy. This one’s pure comfort food.

✈️ 3. The Package (2017)

Star: Jung Yong Hwa
Paris? Solo trip? Unexpected romance? Check, check, and check. Yong Hwa’s San Ma Roo finds healing, friends, and maybe a little something-something more in this warm and thoughtful travel-based story. Bonus: You’ll suddenly want to book a tour of France.

☕ 4. How To Be Thirty (2021)

Star: Kang Min Hyuk
Min Hyuk serves softboy CEO realness as webtoon editor Lee Seung Yoo in this relatable, slice-of-life web drama. It’s short, sweet, and perfect for when you’re busy but still want that K-drama dopamine hit. Bonus: His chemistry with Jung In Sun = 💯

🍹 5. Summer Guys (2021)

Star: Lee Jung Shin
A beach bar, a chaebol with sass, and lots of flirtation? YES PLEASE. Jung Shin plays Seon Woo Chan, a grumpy rich guy with a secret heart of gold, in this sizzling, summer-set drama that feels like a K-pop version of Coyote Ugly. Bring on the cocktails and romantic chaos!

🎬 6. Oh My Ladylord (2021)

Star: Kang Min Hyuk
Min Hyuk enters the second lead heartbreak hall of fame with his role as Joo In’s best friend turned maybe-lover. The love triangle is tense, the visuals are stunning, and the emotional tension? 100% bingeable.

👻 7. Sell Your Haunted House (2021)

Star: Jung Yong Hwa
Ghost busting, emotional trauma, and Jung Yong Hwa in black suits? We’re eating. He plays conman-turned-exorcist partner Oh In Bum opposite Jang Na Ra’s badass medium, and the dynamic is electric. Paranormal activity has never looked this good.
