The frightmare continues in Part 2 with these four K-Dramas bringing a delicious mix of psychological horror, supernatural chaos, revenge, and ghost-busting real estate services. This batch of chills has something to keep the lights on…or you can turn them off, if you dare.
The Defects
When the price of a perfect family is unsettling
Cast: Yum Jung Ah, Won Jin A, Choi Young Jun, Dex
“The Defects” delivers a world where wealthy families treat children like defective products, abandoning them at any sign of a defect. Revenge is only next as the defective kids band together and fight back. Equal parts suspenseful, realistic, and chilling, this drama’s world will haunt your thoughts at the end of each episode.
Queen Mantis
Elegant, deadly, and dangerously dark…very dark
Cast: Ko Hyun Jung, Jang Dong Yoon, Cho Seong Ha, EL, Kim Bo Ra
Serial killers and the copycats who love them bring this deeply disturbing and dangerously dark tale to life. “Queen Mantis” follows a serial killer mother and her detective son who tries to right the wrongs of this mom. He remembers a loving woman who looked graceful on the outside but who was hiding something absolutely deadly underneath. However, things are not always as they appear, and by the end of the show, you may second-guess who the real monster is.
No Mercy
One phone call makes a woman make her own call for revenge
Cast: Lee Joo Young, Ji Seung Hyun, Koo Jun Hoe
Scammers beware—Ha So Min is coming for you. “No Mercy” follows an ordinary woman whose family and life were destroyed by online scammers. Instead of wallowing, she uses her tech smarts to haunt a ruthless online syndicate using their tricks against them. Digital revenge turns suspense into thrilling chaos. Revenge is clever and delightfully wicked.
Sell Your Haunted House
When your house comes with a ghost, call them!
Cast: Jang Na Ra, Jung Yong Hwa, Kang Mal Geum, Ahn Gil Kang, Kang Hong Suk
Need a break from the darkness? This one is spooky and heartwarming. Our heroine is from a family of exorcists and decided to use her gifts monetarily to clear out haunted buildings so she can sell them. Enter her partner, a scammer who pretends to see ghosts, until he meets her and encounters a real ghost, but not only that, she discovers that he can house powerful spirits, making it much easier to exorcise them. Uh oh, now he’s stuck with her! This ghost story is stylish and funny and has some nice real estate to boot.
From the menagerie of horror in Part 1 to these psychological, revenge-fueled, real estate nightmares in Part 2, Halloween isn’t just about ghosts—it’s about fear in all its flavors.
