    About Korean Crime TV Shows

    Korean television

    K-dramas are typically told in a single 16-episode season with a definite ending, which gives them a shape closer to a long film than to Western serial TV. Their global streaming reach has made Korean television one of the most influential production cultures anywhere.

    Crime

    Crime is arguably television's defining genre, spanning the weekly procedural, the single-case anthology, and the sprawling organized-crime epic. The serialized form suits investigation better than film ever has.
