8 non-romantic K-dramas on Netflix that will shatter all stereotypes you have about the genre!

If you're all about the thrill and unconventional plots then these non-romantic K-dramas are perfect for your binge watchlist!

Contrary to popular belief, K-dramas are more than just the romance that they're known for. Suppressed by so many stereotypes, K-dramas are often neglected thinking that they thrive only on the love story between the characters and there's no actual meaning to them. But it's high time we looked beyond that and realized that K-dramas can actually be just as intriguing as any other TV show that you've watched until now. Squid Game is of the biggest examples of how non-romantic K-dramas can take the world by storm just as the romantic ones have contributed to the Hallyu wave.

Most of these K-dramas highlight current issues of the world; Sky Castle talks about the toxic education system where children are forced to study against their will with a bare minimum amount of sleep, Itaewon Class shows the clear divide between the rich and the poor communities, and My Name and Little Women are stories totally carried by strong women. Each episode comes with a plot twist, making you want to watch the next one immediately.
