K-dramas cover a spectrum of genres, such as romance, comedy, thriller, fantasy, drama, and more. Not all K-dramas are simple and light-hearted as many often think. There are many that delve into darker, intense, and complex issues. These grim tales draw viewers into the shadowy corners of humanity that some might be unwilling to explore and thus are not suitable for everyone. Darkness in K-dramas can manifest in many ways, delving into profound subjects such as tragedy, crime, horrors, psychological struggles, and more.
