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.

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

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

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

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!
