Dramas With Unhealthy Relationships

Klara H

I'm looking for Asian dramas that are similar to the American TV Show 'You'. The type where there is an unhealthy relationship to the point of stalking the person, murdering for the person, doing creepy things with their stuff, and being overly possessive/obsessive or even abusive. I'm looking for more recent dramas however, at least from 2014-onwards as I'm trying to make an edit. It doesn't matter if it's the female lead/male lead that do these things, but I would prefer suggestions for both. 

It can also include manipulative relationships, where the girl is actually obsessed with the guy and commits crimes with him, lets him manipulate her and does what he wants because she believes she needs him but then later on gets out of that abusive/unhealthy relationship and realises she is better without him. 

Those are two separate things, as I'm going to do an edit on the song 'Joke's on You' and 'Unhealthy Obsession' so any suggestions are appreciated. (PS: It doesn't have to be the main couple, I just need to have it stated who is playing what role)

Save Me (2009 short film), thought I'd chuck it in but there's no real ending or enlightenment of the FL- The two main characters. A serial killer and his girlfriend

Age of Youth, check if this is what you want ( Jung Ye Eun and Ko Doo Young, abusive ex kidnaps her)

Sealed with a kiss (lots of forced kissing etc., can't remember is rape is implied... very possessive & manipulative & abusive ... DNF) between 2 mls. 

All I can think of rn...honestly I also find some Slap kiss lakorns a bit unhealthy (I've heard Sanaeha Sunya Kaen has rape and abuse between two MLs).. but don't know many so maybe someone else could help here, hope this helps! Also you could check out the 'Abusive Male Lead' tag on Advanced Search x

  • Kenjo No Ai - 4 episode drama where revenge is the main plot, and taboo manipulation as the instrument
  • Jam Loey Rak - another slap kiss with super unhealthy and WTF romance. With kidnapping and rape, and where the girl is full of stupidity thing she is protecting the bit** SFL and thinking the rape is forgivable. And where the ML doesn't feel any guilt for all the horrid things he did albeit to the wrong person and pursues the girl. 
  • Too Late To Say I Love You - ML is not as bad as one in Jam Loey Rak, but man the amount of controlling he did was also unhealthy 
  • One Hundred Million Stars Falling from the Sky - the ML did a lot of unhealthy manipulation but the end reveals were just more shocking and riveting

I see the reason why it wasn't coming up when I searched it is because Czak spelled kenja with an O (kenjo no ai), not an A (kenja no ai). Thanks!

Sorry about that. Hahaha. I always tend to think it's Kenjo. My bad.

The King's Woman - Honestly probably the unhealthiest relationship I've seen in dramaland. Ml poisons fl's lover and will only give her the antidote if she marries him. Extremely possessive (he is never violent towards her though), but very jealous of everyone around her and will stoop to anything to keep her by his side.
