Amidst the flood of Korean tv shows on netflix, there are some pretty good ones. And no, I’m not talking about Squid Game. If you like drama thrillers, I can recommend:

Beyond Evil

Extra Curricular

D.P.

Korean shows are generally longer and have more episodes, so it takes a little getting used to if you aren’t. And as much as possible, watch with subs, not dub.

From what I've seen most of the K dramas on Netflix have 8 to 16 episodes and tell a complete story which makes them the perfect length if you don't want to commit to a show spanning hundreds of episodes. Some of my favorites in addition to Beyond Evil and Extracurricular which were both top notch:

My Name

Itaewon Class

Kingdom

The Glory

Stranger

Sweet Home

Law School

Hotel del Luna

Bloodhounds (currently watching)

These are all over the map thematically so hope you find one or more you enjoy!

Yep, I’ve seen half of those as well. Bloodhounds is good but it falls off a cliff on the last 2 episodes, sadly. You should still finish it though, just to conclude the story.

Those sound amazing. I like Midnight Diner a lot.
