It's 2021. Is it time I try out more kdramas? I doubt it, but let's see.

I recently watched Sweet Home and was somewhat obsessed with its body horror and hero-turned-villain-turned-hero storyline, if that tells you anything.

And now for my ridiculous requirements. I'm looking for kdramas that have little to no romance. Preferably horror, sci fi,  or mystery, but especially food, and that have aired from 2011-2020; most of the kdramas I watched in the past were from 2010 and earlier.

Please do not suggest:

Sweet Home
Start up
The Uncanny Counter
The School Nurse Files
Goblin
Vampire Prosecutor
Vampire Detective
The Master's Sun
Fermentation Family
Late Night Restaurant
Feast of the Gods
Let's Eat
Kingdom
The Producers
Stranger
Blood
Big
Abyss
Discipline Z: Vampire
My Mister

Also, please do not suggest:

Anything to do with foxes of any number tails (I'm serious!), anything starring Gong Yoo, dramas that are currently airing or have yet to start, and dramas that aired prior to 2011 (I've probably seen it).

Thanks in advance to anyone that has a genuinely good suggestion.

P.S. In the past I watched more kdramas. Out of those I watched I've given 2 of them 5/5 stars (few rated above 3): 1st Shop of Coffee Prince, and Gourmet. I will never enjoy another kdrama like Coffee Prince.

The worst kdrama I've ever watched (and forced myself to finish) was My Girl (2005). It was awful. Don't argue with me.

Maybe:

  • Circle
  • Killer Girl K
  • Conspiracy of Court
  • Signal
  • The Guest

+1 to all the above recs

  • Kairos
  • Missing: The Other Side
  • Children of Nobody
  • Save Me
  • Life On Mars
  • Search (very flawed but still found it entertaining)

The Cursed, maybe?

And I second the above recommendations for The Guest
