Looking to get your K-drama fix while flying on Singapore Airlines? You’re in luck — we’ve got fantastic shows to keep you entertained.
K-dramas suffered from a bad rep in the ’00s. Dismissed as soapy trash back then, they were frequently the stuff of parody. But they have come a long way since then and entrenched themselves in global pop culture. K-dramas are no longer consigned to the romance genre; now, they span everything from thrillers and melodramas to good ol’ rom-coms.
For those who are swept up in the hallyu craze, catch these three K-dramas on KrisWorld that will draw you in with their unique blend of compelling characters and intricate settings.
The Auditors
What do you do when a corporation is corrupt and rotten from the inside? Get audit teams to come in and clean things up — assuming they do their jobs well. And the ones in The Auditors certainly do.
JU Construction has been plagued by embezzlement scandals so rampant that employee morale has hit rock bottom. Wanting to turn things around, the company’s president brings in Shin Cha-Il (Shin Ha-kyun), whose mission in life is to bring the unscrupulous to justice, to lead the jaded auditing team at JU Construction.
He comes in swinging and quickly confirms his suspicions that there’s fraud going on. Meanwhile, his team learns to warm up to their new leader, take ownership of their work, and weed out the leeches from the inside.
Sure, the show does make some egregious leaps in logic (e.g. the auditors investigate murders even though they don’t have jurisdiction to do so) and throws out wild plot twists, but if you’re able to suspend disbelief, The Auditors will make for a captivating watch.
The Player 2: Master of Swindlers
Six years after their last big con, Kang Ha-ri (Song Seung-heon) and his crew of elite swindlers are back in The Player 2: Master of Swindlers. This time, they’re pulling off even bigger heists and targeting corrupt elites who believe they’re untouchable.
For its second season, the show has received a production upgrade, with a slicker look, grander action sequences, and more magnificent locales. The chemistry between the old cast remains strong, but an infusion of new blood switches up the character dynamics. And yes, The Player 2 continues blending high-stakes action with sharp wit and thrilling twists.
Whether you’re a fan of fast-paced crime dramas or just love watching the rich get outplayed, The Player 2 delivers nonstop entertainment with an extra dose of style.
Doubt
Fans of K-thrillers won’t want to miss Doubt, a gripping series that weaves together family drama elements and a high-stakes murder investigation. Criminal profiler Jang Tae-su (Han Suk-kyu) finds his professional life colliding with his personal struggles when he begins to suspect his daughter, Ha-bin (Chae Won-bin), might be connected to the murder case he’s investigating. Their already strained relationship, with Ha-bin resenting her father for her mother’s death, is tested as the investigation unfolds.
The series masterfully builds suspense as Tae-su struggles to reconcile his paternal instincts with his sense of duty to uncover the truth. With its intricate plot, emotional depth, and the electric chemistry between the two actors, Doubt is an edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller that explores the themes of loyalty, trust, and family.
