[PICK] 5 Korean Mystery Dramas Inspired by Suspense Books & Webtoons

 

Novels and fictions are great inspirations for TV dramas. Interesting stories in books have been steadily adapted into dramas, whether or not they have been well known to people for a long time. In particular, mystery is an excellent genre for long-winded dramas because it makes it difficult for us to predict where the play is headed. It keeps attracting the viewers’ attention as they keep wondering what’s next, and the viewers can guess how the story would conclude. And of course, converting a well-written novel into a drama does not always come out successfully. I will introduce five dramas that perfectly bring the tense stories in the text and cartoons to the small screen.

 

 

Hell Is Other People (2019)

 

Credit: OCN

 

‘Gosiwon’ is a type of residence in Korea. Although the monthly rent is cheap, it is a place where privacy is not even dreamed of as the rooms are cramped next to each other. Author Kim Yong Ki’s webtoon Hell Is Other People, which has accumulated 800 million views, is mainly set in Gosiwon, inhabited by low-income people. The story starts from the main character’s suspicion that one of his neighbors might be a murderer in a limited space of his gosiwon building where you can literally feel your neighbor’s breaths. This 10-episode drama intensely depicts the horrors of a young man (Im Si Wan) who moved to Seoul. He comes to live in an old and shabby gosiwon through a hell created by others.

 

Although the drama’s violent scenes were criticized, it was praised for closely portraying the process of an ordinary young man’s mind deteriorate, being encroached on by the hell created by others.

*** Yesterday August 23rd, Siwan posted photos on his Instagram with a caption - "Thank you always f or delicious food". - He also posted a photo of him at the Cannes Film Festival. I love that smile angle....The raising of his arms high to take a colorful food photo makes me wonder................. It's a little bit funny. Why does he have to take a photo like that.      Although, the person in the photo seems he doesn't care at all.....

2021 K-drama confession scenes that made our hearts skip a beat

 

You might be wondering why the author chose this topic out of nowhere, just when we’re about to hit the first day of -Ber, just when our days and nights are getting colder, and as we warm ourselves by those of metaphorical hugs called coffee and a cozy blanket while watching our OTPs wear their hearts on their sleeves and exchange love words—Yup. These are actually the reasons.

 

Half-kidding aside, it’s safe to say that a lot of us find comfort and joy in seeing our favorite pair enveloped in each other’s loving arms and closing the proximity of each other’s lips, notwithstanding the trials and errors and laughs and cries they experienced together throughout the 16-episode drama. By this time, you’re probably thinking of the crowd-favorites: 

 

This time, I compiled the unforgettable love confessions from several 2021 K-dramas :

 

 

Run On: Ki Seon Gyeom and Oh Mi Joo labeling their relationship

“Run On,” which ran from December 2020 to February 2021, is probably one of the few Korean dramas with a throng of green flags in terms of relationships. It’s the typical boy-meets-girl and classic friends-to-lovers as Ki Seon Gyeom (Im Siwan) and Oh Mi Joo’s (Shin Se Kyung) dynamics began with being confidants who support each other through and through. The characters also showed the importance of communication that gave no room for guessing games. 

 

 

In his confession, Seon Gyeom said he had to chew over his feelings first and admitted his fear of complicating their relationship if he professed his love. At this point, he wanted to know if they are on an equal footing.

Slice Of Life K-Dramas That Will Change Your Life

 

The “slice of life” genre is often known for its ability to tell a character’s story and everyday life in a very natural narrative. It does not necessarily need the over-exciting climax or series of events to keep viewers engaged, but instead, viewers are drawn into the characters because they are relatable and have depth. There are many slice of life K-dramas, but here are the ones that might just change your life. If you haven’t watched all of these, make sure you do! You’ll be in for an introspective ride!

 

Disclaimer: List is in no particular order.

 

 

7. “Incomplete Life”

Im Si Wan plays Jang Geu Rae, a Go board game player who fails to become a professional, and as a result, has to find a job. Geu Rae has no experience in any sort of workplace as he has spent most of his time and life playing Go. Through connections and sheer luck, he is able to work for a trading company as an intern but learns that he has to make some major adjustments to fit in.

 

 

“Incomplete Life” was a huge success in Korea as a result of its real-life depiction of everyday office workers. Koreans praised the series for its accuracy and dark humor in portraying the various types of workers that exist in an office and the sometimes awkward but demanding atmosphere that can come from it. It was able to bring a bit of strength and hope to those who lack the motivation to go to work every day.

[Ishani's Picks] Top 10 K-Dramas To Watch When You're Missing Your Significant Other

 

With the holiday season coming up soon and the pandemic keeping people isolated, it is quite natural to miss your loved ones, friends, and family, especially if you're far away from each other and cannot possibly meet safely during this time. If you're caught up in your feelings and missing your significant other, here are 10 K-Dramas you can watch to alleviate the pain.

 

 

 

"Run On"

 

Starring Shin Se-kyung and Im Si-wan, "Run On" tells the story of a young man and woman who meet each other at a very critical point in their lives and change for the better while embracing their own flaws. It places great importance on partners learning each other's love language and establishing a healthy relationship on the foundation of mutual respect and adoration. "Run On" deserves way more appreciation for its portrayal of a modern-day romance that's still as chivalric as the old-school type of love we tend to fantasize about.

Intense Survival-Themed Movies And Dramas To Watch After “Squid Game”

 

Less than a month ago, Netflix presented their most viral production to date as they released “Squid Game.” This global hit needs no introduction as it has become one of the most viewed Netflix shows since its first release on September 17, landing the No. 1 spot in over 90 countries and on its way to becoming the streaming service’s most watched TV show of all time. For some viewers, this is the first Korean work they have ever watched, and naturally, they would be eager to watch more Korean productions that deliver that same adrenaline rush the nine-episode drama had provided them with.

 

Whether you have time to binge-watch an entire show or are simply looking for a quick watch, we’ve got you covered. Here are some survival-themed movies and dramas that will keep you on the edge of your seats. Happy (and intense) viewing!

 

 

7. “Strangers From Hell”

Also known as “Hell Is Other People,” this drama is about Yoon Jong Woo (Im Siwan), a writer who moves to Seoul upon landing a job in the city. Low on cash, he settles for a cheap dormitory. As he meets his fellow neighbors, including Seo Moon Jo (Lee Dong Wook), a weird dentist, he starts picking up on ominous incidents and realizes that things are not what they seem.

 

Im Siwan and Lee Dong Wook impress in this eerie plot with an excellent performance that would send chills down anyone’s spine. It’s fair to say that this psychological thriller takes survival to a whole new level.
