5 Action-Packed K-Dramas If Romance Bores You
For those whose attention span can’t handle long pauses.
Every time we sit down to watch a movie or a TV show, we're looking for some kind of emotion. Whether we want to make out with our partner, release all that negativity while crying our eyes out at a fictional story, or feel the rush of adrenaline, it doesn't matter.
Fortunately, these days there is enough content to satisfy all your needs.
Just like their Western counterparts, Korean dramas offer a wide variety of genres to choose from. So if you're in the mood for something fast-paced and story-driven, you can give these 5 shows a try.
My Name (2021)
This is a perfect choice for those who love the female leads to take part in all the action and not be restricted to the romantic parts only. Yoon Ji Woo, driven by the power of revenge for her father's death, gets help from the boss of the biggest drug ring in Korea to go undercover and get all the information she needs.
Weak Hero Class 1 (2022)
This show is proof that you don't have to be big, buff, and strong to fight off the bullies. Sometimes all you need is the help of friends who are willing to be your hands and a brilliant mind that never stops scheming. We could never condone violence in high school, but this show can be very inspiring for anyone who's ever been picked on.
Bad and Crazy (2021)
Ambitious bad-boy cop Soo Yeol has already lost the last shreds of his humanity as he puts everything into climbing the ladder of the anti-corruption unit. However, a sudden encounter with K, the resident madman, makes him rethink his own life and the way he works. Together, they become even stronger.
Vincenzo (2021)
He was just a little boy when he was adopted into the Italian family, but returned to his homeland as a grown man. And a member of the Mafia at that. Even though Vincenzo is clearly not a good guy, he knows how to make you root for him in every single fight. Maybe that's just the power of the Italian.
Vagabond (2019)
Having already lost his brother, Cha Dal Gun faces loss again when his nephew dies in a plane crash. With no one to hold on to, nothing to lose, and too many unanswered questions behind the tragedy, he embarks on his own journey to find the truth about what happened and seek revenge against those responsible.
