Sweet Home released its third and final season on July 19, 2024, but there is another K-drama, Happiness, starring Park Hyung-sik and Han Hyo-joo that is perfect for anyone missing the horror K-drama. With Sweet Home’s cast led by Song Kang, Lee Do-hyun, and Lee Jin-wook, the show sees its characters fight against a monster outbreak that begins in an apartment complex called Green Home. The show’s meteoric success was an inspiration for other horror K-dramas, but very few have achieved Sweet Home’s level of popularity.

While there are other K-dramas about zombie outbreaks, Happiness is the one that would resonate more with fans of Sweet Home because of how similar the premises for the shows are. Like Sweet Home, Happiness also sees its characters get infected by a zombie virus and try to find a cure. Happiness perfectly combines action, mystery, romance, and science in a way that...

Korean zombie shows explore unique concepts and execution while still delivering on the traditional zombie genre tropes. These shows delve into themes of survival, humanity, and lasting relationships, bringing gore, violence, love, friendship, and strength.

K-dramas have become increasingly popular lately, thanks to their expansion into various genres. For instance, we’ve had a slew of exciting dramas this year, ranging from a soothing romantic love story to a gripping revenge-themed thriller starring Song Hye Kyo (Descendants of the Sun). Furthermore, we’ve also had some surprises, such as Bloodhounds, which cast two unexpected actors in complex characters, which we thought wouldn’t be as easy to pull off.

If K-drama fans are delighted to see these developments in the industry and are eager for more, they have one waiting right around the corner of 2023 in the form of the crime drama Vigilante. The series follows a young man named Kim Ji Yong (Nam Joo Hyuk), a student at the police academy who lost his mother at the hands of a gangster when he was young.

When his day as a cop ends, he puts...

Korean dramas have evolved beyond our expectations over the years, ranging from romance to thrillers that keep you on the edge of your seat. Furthermore, they frequently feature exciting action scenes to provide a surprise element, which has now become a standard in every thriller drama. Dramas such as Taxi Driver, Vincenzo, and K2 have particularly taken the concept to the next level, tackling social issues to the extreme.

The upcoming Korean drama Vigilante is one such example, offering a new perspective on a vigilante who fights criminals both under the law and outside the law. Such concepts aren't new, though, as various superhero TV shows like Arrow and films like Batman have been doing them for years, but it's uncommon to see one from the Korean industry. That being said, here's everything we know so far about the new crime thriller K-drama Vigilante, including the plot, cast, trailer, and release date.

Arthdal Chronicles, often referred to as the Korean Game of Thrones, has become one of the best K-dramas of all time, thanks to its intricate storyline and actors that played the characters to near perfection. While many people did not watch the series at first, once they learned that it starred the actor Song Joong Ki, who previously appeared in Descendants of the Sun, A Werewolf Boy, and The Battleship Island, the drama's popularity skyrocketed.

Arthdal Chronicles was released in three parts in 2019: Part 1: The Children of Prophecy, Part 2: The Sky Turning Inside Out, Rising Land, and Part 3: The Prelude to All Legends. Although the Korean drama industry is well-known for diving into historical topics, there is no drama quite like Arthdal Chronicles, and fans have been waiting for the second season ever since the previous one concluded. In light of that, here is everything we...
