K-Drama Thrillers
12 shows of my favourite K-Drama genre. (Excluding Historical thrillers)
-
1. Stranger
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
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.

2. Happiness
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
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.
-
3. Tell Me What You Saw
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
While the villian is not my favourite, it has a wonderful cast of nuanced and morally grey characters.
-
4. Voice
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
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".

5. Strangers from Hell
Korean Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
Left me Speechless. Must watch for everyone who likes Psychological- Horror
-
6. Mouse
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
Would have liked it better if it did not have a pro-eugenics stance. Lee Seung Gi's performance was phenomenal .
-
7. The Glory
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Song Hye Kyo never fails to impress me. Beautiful.
-
8. Flower of Evil
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
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.
-
9. Beyond Evil
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Even the sweetest and fluffiest characters have an evil side. Left its mark on the genre
-
10. Healer
Korean Drama - 2014, 20 episodes
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.
-
11. Class of Lies
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
A well written plot with great acting, it has its own fanbase
-
12. The Penthouse: War in Life
Korean Drama - 2020, 21 episodes
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.
