How to Say "I love k drama" in Korean
The most common, natural way is 저는 한국 드라마를 정말 좋아해요. Koreans usually say 한국 드라마 rather than a literal 'K-drama,' and 좋아해요 rather than a literal 'love' verb.

Common mistakes
저는 K-드라마를 사랑해요.→ 저는 한국 드라마를 정말 좋아해요.Koreans usually say 한국 드라마 in everyday speech, and 좋아해요 is the natural verb for liking a show; 사랑해요 sounds literal or overly romantic.
나는 한국 드라마를 좋아해요.→ 저는 한국 드라마를 좋아해요.The casual pronoun 나는 clashes with the polite ending -요; use 저는 in polite speech.
