Adventure/Action/Thriller (mostly BL) Korean Dramas
-
1. Duelo
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
Duel has some viscerally intense scenes that can make you forget it's acted.
Be careful with this one -
2. Me Salve
Korean Drama - 2017, 16 episodes
-
3. Flor do Mal
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
a calming balance between heart-tensing action and a loving family. This series is a fan-favourite for fans of romance, suspense, and mystery
-
4. Extracurricular
Korean Drama - 2020, 10 episodes
lots of serious themes and crimes within the criminal underworld including but not limited to: prostitution, drugs, human trafficking, organ harvesting, etc
if this type of content is a delicate subject, avoid this series

Korean Drama - 2021, 8 episodes
-
6. Caçadores de Demônios

Mostly a fun kdrama but there are a few scenes in this series that are surprisingly intense for the genre

-
8. Triângulo
Korean Drama - 2014, 26 episodes

9. Crônicas de Arthdal Parte 1
Korean Drama - 2019, 6 episodes
One of the stories shown on screen is quite brutal and hits every emotion possible. Much of this show deals with politics but the few stories that don't are quite tough on the characters and the audience

15. O Rei: Monarca Eterno
Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes
-
16. Ei Fantasma, Vamos Lutar
Korean Drama - 2016, 16 episodes
mostly episodic with hints at a larger story. It's aimed at a younger audience (13-18) i think
-
17. Meninos Antes de Flores
Korean Drama - 2009, 25 episodes
a classic in the kdrama world but there is not much action in this series. More drama and romance than elaborate fight choreographies from typical action series'.
I add it because the action we do see is surprising as well as heartbreaking

27. Vincenzo
Korean Drama - 2021, 20 episodes
I only place this one so low because it's an action and a comedy. some of the comedic action scenes are eye-roll worthy but the serious action/thriller/suspense scenes (and there are a lot of them) are amazing! Definitely worth a watch :)
