Korean dramas have their assigned time slots and thus usually run for an hour. Daily dramas can have shorter episodes but the run is more like 100+ episodes overall. Sitcoms, likewise, are also short in airtime (usually 30 min) but long in episode count.

I don't know much about web dramas but as I understand it, they tend to be really short - both in airtime (15 min?) and episode count.

That said, there might be outliers. The only one I can think of: The Lover had 50 min episodes (it was broadcasted by Mnet).

She is wow has 12 episodes with 50mins each.
Maybe you would also like dramas that have only a few episodes, but still are a hour long. KBS has those drama specials. These are mostly only one movie, but there are some that have a few episodes. My favorite would be White Christmas (8ep), Sirius (4ep) and Adolescence Medley (4ep).
I've just seen that Reply 1997 also has 50min episodes. Some of the high school dramas tend to have a shorter amount of episodes (Cheer Up) and also the music dramas from mnet (Monstar, Presevere Goo Hae Ra).
