    1. Stranger

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    10

    My ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE K-Drama thriller. No psychopaths. No unnecessary romantic subplots. No outlandish plot holes. Must-watch for the ones who want to experience the humanity in the worst of evil. 

  • Happiness

    2. Happiness

    Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes

    9.0

    A zombie thriller like no other. A rare Park Hyung Shik, as a smart and sensitive cop beside Han Hyo Joo as a  Badass special forces cop. 

  • Tell Me What You Saw

    3. Tell Me What You Saw

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    8.0

    While the villian is not my favourite, it has a wonderful cast of nuanced and morally grey characters.

  • Voice

    4. Voice

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    7.5

    The 1st season is my favourite. But the other seasons have their respective charms. Lee Ha Na as Kang Kwon Joo, with her unique auditory ability, will always one of my favourite female leads in the police force. Too many "psychopaths".

  • Strangers from Hell

    5. Strangers from Hell

    Korean Drama - 2019, 10 episodes

    9.5

    Left me Speechless. Must watch for everyone who likes Psychological- Horror

  • Mouse

    6. Mouse

    Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes

    6.0

    Would have liked it better if it did not have a pro-eugenics stance. Lee Seung Gi's performance was phenomenal . 

  • The Glory

    7. The Glory

    Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    9.5

    Song Hye Kyo never fails to impress me. Beautiful.

  • Flower of Evil

    8. Flower of Evil

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    8.5

    The romance weaves in beautifully with the suspense and the mystery. Both Lee Joong Gi and Moon Chae Won stood out in their respective roles.

  • Beyond Evil

    9. Beyond Evil

    Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes

    8.5

    Even the sweetest and fluffiest characters have an evil side.  Left its mark on the genre

  • Healer

    10. Healer

    Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes

    8.0

    While the plot is lighter, it still manages to captivate our hearts with Ji Chang Wook and Park Min Young's flawless chemistry. My favourite part of the drama is the way it shows the parallels between the past and the present of each character.

  • Class of Lies

    11. Class of Lies

    Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

    7.0

    A well written plot with great acting, it has its own fanbase

  • The Penthouse: War in Life

    12. The Penthouse: War in Life

    Korean Drama - 2020, 21 episodes

    8.5

    While it leans closer to the melodrama genre, the number of murders throughout the series lands it a position on this list. A drama to be binge- watched AFTER all your exams are over.
