My All Time Favorite Thrillers
-
1. Mouse
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
Nothing beats this honestly. The twists are crazy. Everything about it is top-notch: the plot, the acting, the ost, the world building- absolute perfection.

2. Vincenzo
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
AHHH one of the best there is!!! UGH this was so investing, I loved the character, perfect revenge, and perfect mix of comedy and action and thriller ofc. Lots of great twists too.
-
3. Strangers from Hell
Korean Drama - 2019, 10 episodes
Definitely one of the most disturbing thrillers I've watched. Gave me the creeps all the way through, but it was so good!!!
-
4. Flower of Evil
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
Really good, loved the mysterious atmosphere, the ost and all the twists.

5. The Handmaiden
Korean Movie - 2016
One of my favorite movies, so dark, but so good. The ost and atmosphere, the tension, like omg!!!
-
6. Taxi Driver Season 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
Consistantly good throughout the entire show, and the character I hated was gone, so it was better than season 1.
-
7. The King of Pigs
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Man, how depressing. One of the best serial killer shows. It was so interetsing to see the red thread between the past and present become clearer. This is the type of show where your perspective of the characters at the beginning and the end is completely different. The Revenge was also for the most part satisfying, yet the show was so heartbreaking and terrible. Tragic, but the ending although painful, was also very fitting.
-
8. Inspector Koo
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
So good. The tension!! Also I feel there are still some unanswered questions...
-
9. Taxi Driver
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
Love the plot and characters. This show is so investing, funny, and sad at times. Best action thriller out there. A little worse rating because of pretty chaotic last couple episodes.
-
10. Bad and Crazy
Korean Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Ugh this show was peak, so investing. I really fell in love with the characters, and the mix of comedy and serious moments was so well-done. The action was great imo and wow yeah, this show is just very well-done, but it also broke my heart a bit ngl.

11. The Glory
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Great revenge drama, horribly dark though, there was so little happy moments, other than the slight romance which I appreciated honestly.
-
12. D.P.
Korean Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Wow, I feel like this show opened my eyes. The abuse portrayed was gruesome. Yet, the journey the characters went through was so fun to watch. I absolutely loved it. It was very dark, so the glimpses of happiness between the characters was refreshing.
-

Almost as good as the first one, but wasn't completely satisfied with the last episode.

-
20. Mask Girl
Korean Drama - 2023, 7 episodes
This was a great binge. The plot was very intruiging and mysterious. It was entertaining the entire way through, but the second half was very different from the first, and unexpected. Didn't ruin it for me though.

This was a very cool plot. Love these type of experimental, psychological shows that reveal human nature and society. It is worth watching for sure. Dark though.
-
24. Squid Game Season 2

So many new interesting characters. Initially dissapointed by the fact that many of the games were repeated, but it worked well.

Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Pretty good thriller crime show, although I felt it was lacking some sort of depth.
-
37. Weak Hero Class 1
Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Don't get me wrong it was kind of good, but at the same time I never got the hype. I just wasn't invested in the characters, and so it wasn't so interesting for me.
-
38. Kingdom Season 2
Korean Drama - 2020, 6 episodes
Great.
-
39. The Call
Korean Movie - 2020
Really dark and disturbing. Psychotic, and I loved it.
-
40. Midnight
Korean Movie - 2021
Wow that movie gave exactly what a thriller movie should, the suspense! Like I found myself literally screaming some times out of fear for these people. Omg also the frustration was different here than in other horrors, because it was almost realistic since they are deaf. But wow the way nobody wanted to listen to them was so irritating, but I'm very happy with the ending. Also my deaf girlie is a fighter, she was so smart!!!
-
41. Class of Lies
Korean Drama - 2019, 16 episodes
Interesting and frustrating.

-
43. All of Us Are Dead
Korean Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Good.
-
44. Train to Busan
Korean Movie - 2016
Good movie, zombie apocolypse is just not my fav.
-
45. Hellbound
Korean Drama - 2021, 6 episodes
Played with some interesting philosophical questions. It was carried by the plot, but the characters and other aspects weren't as investing.
-
46. The Deal
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Really solid but not groundbreaking in any way.
-
47. Juvenile Justice
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
It was dark, kind of sad, but didn't really get the ultimate point, idk.
-
48. A Killer Paradox
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
This show really surprised me. The cinematography and mysterious vibes made it so interesting, but the plot fell off a bit towards the second half.
-
49. Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area - Part 1
Korean Drama - 2022, 6 episodes
Interesting ig, but also why?
-
50. Death's Game
Korean Drama - 2023, 4 episodes
Fascinating.
-
51. Unlocked
Korean Movie - 2023
Eerie, extremely creepy, but not so much deeper than that, although great acting!
-
52. Save Me
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Honestly, this show felt just extremely dark, repetitive, and dramatic. I know some shows are just dark, but the lack of any joyful moments, and considering how long the show was, (felt it was badly paced), I didn't enjoy it. It showed a disgusting reality of what it is like in some cults, maybe a little (lot) overdramatized, but I can appreciate that, although it was not worth watching for me.
-
53. The Silent Sea
Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
Can't remember much, it was forgettable.
-
54. Hellbound Season 2
Korean Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
Maybe it was because of the break between season 1, but I felt this one was much worse. It almost felt unnecessary. I just wasn't invested.
-
55. D.P. Season 2
Korean Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
Meh, fell off for me. It just didn't live up to the first season.
-
56. Persona
Korean Drama - 2019, 4 episodes
Really weird show.
