Thanks for the folklore explanation, see I didn't know it cos basically I don't watch horror, lol. Have you watched any of these besides A Werewolf Boy?

You're right! Horror movies give the suspense/tense and when it climaxes it ends and the credit rolls, lol. Just like that. It doesn't even need to fill plot holes with logics. Meanwhile that don't happen with horror dramas, need explanation or people will rate them low ;D

I think the top rated and popular modern Cdramas are predominantly romance/romcoms that's why you don't watch any ;D. I read somewhere that is the main reason why people like modern Cdramas more than Kdramas or move from Kdramas to Cdramas, reminiscing what Kdramas used to be. While now there are more genres added in Kdramas so they're no longer simple romance/romcom dramas. The other way around with Cdramas, the more genres added in their romance dramas the harder they pass censorship, lol, For example: fantasy, crime, mystery, supernatural ;D

Sometime ago I read an article states that dramas/movies with vampire theme is not popular in Korea cos vampire is a Western (European) culture. So maybe werewolf too? Cos werewolf is also from European culture, from their folktales. That's why gumiho theme is very popular with the Koreans cos it's in their myth, also in China as fox demon.

I watched the Kdrama (Bring it On Ghost) first tho not a while ago then the Thai. In BIOG FL is more mischievous and Kim So Hyun's acting is better cos she is a seasoned actress. But chemistry is better in LFG, since KSH was only 16/17 when acted in BIOG so not much romantic scenes. Bromance between the two friends is better in BIOG. The ghost is scarier in LFG and they have more background story, so is the villain. Big who played as the Dr Jade, he's a good actor (I watched him before).

Did you watch the original (Kdrama)?

It must have something to do with the dog that's what I read :( I won't be able to watch it then...

To answer the question... it really depends what you're looking for. Since this list is the search result for overall horror (minus romance/comedy), these are the dramas that show up as the top. If you're looking for something more specific, for example psychological horror, more feature you need to add in the search engine. Besides, you know on MDL Kdramas are the most popular, following by Cdramas, and then Jdramas/Thai dramas. The last two are usually under the radar/underrated. So even if there is a good horror drama from those 2 countries, but since there are not many people watched it or compared to Kdramas is underrated, the drama won't make it into the list

You should like Zombie Detective then, I like that drama!

I think SK is the best portraying horror (I watched horror+romance or horror+comedy). Their costume/makeup/prop are the best.

I think I'm better now since I age, I used to hide behind the chairs while my family was watching horror shows! But it seems you like the Radioactive Zombie Werewolf...

so the SE is actually bad?

If I were to watch a horror drama, I will pick A gift to the people you hate. The synopsis sounds so interesting, and I watch Thai dramas so I'm familiar with the cast

Haha... I didn't forget cos Hometown started airing on Sept 22. This list was made/the article was submitted on Sept 3. You are a writer so you know how long it takes for articles to be edited/published. That's why I submitted a while ago so it would be ready for October. Who knows... if it's really good Hometown will replace one of these top 10 shows... Probably you want to write a review/recommendation article for it so more people will wanna watch it ;D

This is only the top 10, but if you already watched most of them and am looking for more down the list (after the 10), here's the link you can use:

I watched Alice in Borderlands too! I hope you enjoyed it!

You're welcome!

Glad you like it!

Though I don't watch these but when I looked them up I wondered too about them being real horror dramas. Perhaps because they're Korean and Chinese dramas that not real horror but up there because of high ratings. I thought the scary horror are like what Japanese and Thai make.

oh really? if it's really horror, we won't get bored
