As South Korea's drama series have grown in popularity across the world, so too have their stories diversified, branching out from the usual tales of romance to touch on a variety of genres such as horror, fantasy and sci-fi.
These days, K-dramas are getting more attention for their take on revenge: a protagonist who dedicates his or her life to get back on people who have wronged them, whether they be school bullies, crime groups or greedy businessmen.
One recent example is the Song Hye-kyo-starrer "The Glory," which ranked on Twitter Philippines' trending topics list for days after releasing its second half last March 10. It's also the top TV show on Netflix Philippines as of writing.
