5 K-Dramas To Watch When You Need A Good Cry

It's not uncommon for people to struggle with expressing their emotions. While the majority would always welcome and support any outburst you might be going through, it's still scary to open up and show your vulnerable side. But it's even worse to keep all that sadness bottled up inside.

The best way to let it all out without letting anyone else see it might be a TV session at the end of the day. Just turn on something sad and cry along with the main characters. And if you have already run out of options, here are 5 recent K-dramas that are sure to bring tears to your eyes.

Tomorrow (2022)

The concept of the show itself is nothing to celebrate, as each episode tells the story of a Grim Reaper trying to stop people from taking their own lives, rather than completing the deed.

When death is inevitable, all you can do is try to put on a brave face before it comes. This is exactly what the main character of this drama does before she breaks down in one of the most emotional scenes K-dramas have ever seen.
