Psychological

As much as I love romance I also enjoy darker themed drama that revolves around societal issues, mental health, or a really good thriller. They are in no particular order. Please do recommend some more!

  • Save Me

    1. Save Me

    Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

    9.0

    Cult. This drama tackles societal issue such as bullying and mental health. The female lead goes through a lot mentally and physically, but I heard people say that she constantly waits for the male leads to save her. However, I really don't see it that way given the situation she is thrown into and the fact no one believes her other than the male leads!

    2. Strangers from Hell

    Hell. This is a short drama that tackles mental issues. Based on a webtoon. The cinematography and transition from scene to scene is on point. It kept me on edge to what to know more of what is going to happen next.

    Parasite. The title says it all. It deals with social class.

  • Nightmare Teacher

    4. Nightmare Teacher

    Korean Drama - 2016, 12 episodes

    8.0

    Nightmare. This drama made me realize that not everything is what it seems. Each episode depicts a student tackling real issues regarding school life and the teacher presents them with a 'gift' to overcome their issues, but the 'gifts' have some drastic drawbacks...

    Witch. Honestly, the female lead really amazed me with her acting and it took me by surprise towards the end. This is one bad ass female lead that knows she is.
