It's summertime once again, and while most of people would love to go to the beach, flaunt their beach bodies or maybe go out of the country to travel, there are also some who'd rather laze around at home, binge watching shows with a bag of chips.
And with all the shows streaming on Netflix, one doesn't just run out of things to watch. If you don't know where to start, here's a rundown of good ones you could check out today – from anime to K-dramas to Western shows.
