Favorite k-dramas/films about murders ♡

Out of all k-drama genres/tropes, murderers and psychopaths are my ultimate favorite. Dramas and films that aren't afraid to show gruesome scenes with blood, violence, and possible nudity (rarely) and are overall on the more explicit side of the Korean film industry are my favorites of all. This list contains shows and films that fit in this category. Most of them have little to no humor. The order is irrelevant.

This is a Thai drama but it deserves a spot in this list.
2. Hellbound

Korean Drama - 2021, 6 episodes

Not really centered around murderers but more around "a cult". Still...there are some gruesome scenes.
3. Midnight

Korean Movie - 2021

Wi Ha Joon should do more roles like this. One of the best Korean films I've ever seen!
4. Psychopath Diary

Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes

It has a lot of comedic bits in it but one of the main cast is a psychopath and I loved this show!
5. The Call

Korean Movie - 2020

It's rare to see a female psychopathic villain. Jeon Jong Seo's portrayal of Oh Yeong Sook was top-tier and truly frightining.
6. One Ordinary Day

Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes

Not about psychopaths but still pretty gruesome.

9.5

One of the most gruesome and violent Korean film I've ver seen.
8. Voice

Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes

All seasons aim at psychopathic serial killers but season 1 with Kim Jae Wook as Mo Tae Goo cannot be topped.
9. Extracurricular

Drama about a student organizing a prostitution ring....one of the kind and very explicit.
10. Kill It

9.0

Psychopathic contract killer feeling confused with his feeling for a female detective who's searching for him but doesn't realize she's falling in love with a murderer? Yes, please!
