Ten years ago, when it came to Korean dramas, audiences would think of traffic accidents and cancer.
Ten years later, Korean dramas quietly transformed, blossoming in the realms of fantasy romance and gritty realism.
Mixing in just the right amount of romance in suspense dramas satisfies the audience’s girly hearts without disturbing the main storyline. Even in realistic portrayals of lower-class characters’ lives, there are occasional moments of humor to lighten the audience’s sadness.
Recently, another captivating Korean drama has emerged.
A Netflix original, with a crime plot involving high IQ school bullies and full of R-rated scenes. It garnered a high score of 8.4 for the entire series.
All characters are set as villains, yet the final story ending is surprisingly heartwarming, leaving viewers craving for more.
