The ultimate list of revenge dramas
I love revenge tales. My love for revenge plots started with The Count of Monte Cristo which I read first when I was a teen and re-read several times since! I have been adding revenge dramas to my PTW since I started watching Asian dramas and thought I could make a master list that I can rate and track.
I define revenge dramas as those that have revenge as the main plot arc or is one of the 2 main plot arcs. I have made the list using MDL's tags so not sure if it is comprehensive - will update as I watch/finish dramas. Happy to get recs! (note: I do not watch SF/supernatural/historical genres).
