The Korean TV industry churns out as many shows as the American TV industry, and even though these small projects get consumed widely in their country of origin, many don’t achieve global popularity. Crime dramas, specifically, tend to be very underrated. For every Money Heist and Squid Game, there are dozens of tales that deserve widespread appreciation but never made any major headlines.
Korean crime dramas like Bad Guys and Narco-Saints are underrated, yet they are arguably better than what’s currently available in the TV landscape.
