dramas/movies I wish were a dark romance instead
putting aside the main genre of the following dramas and movies -- these dramas/movies had the PERFECT ingredients to become a dark romance: gripping plot, morally ambiguous main characters, villains, dark tropes, stellar cast, etc.. but it just wasn't ❤️🩹 the things listed here are either not a romance whatsoever, or they're a rom-com, a green-flag mc, a melodrama or the writers chickened out.
