The Best of Crime/Thriller Dramas (with Romance)

I'm a sucker for romance, okay? I am. I wholly embrace it. But that doesn't mean I'm all about romance. My favorite dramas mix that love with some other genres, and especially crime/thriller. 

Here's a list of the best crime/thriller dramas with romance, in my order of preference. It includes Korean and Chinese dramas.

  • Flower of Evil

    1. Flower of Evil

    Korean Drama - 2020, 16 episodes

    8.5

    This drama is so innovative! We get a psychopathy male lead, a strong and unpredictable female detective, and a married couple as OTP (so the romance is going an entirely different direction). Everything is unique. Add to the midst a couple of pretty cool twists and turns and you have a great show! The end slightly brings it down but doesn't make it less amazing!

  • Love Me If You Dare

    2. Love Me If You Dare

    Chinese Drama - 2015, 24 episodes

    8.5

    My first ever Chinese crime drama and I loved every bit of it. It's dark, it's quirky, it's fluffy, and it has cool characters and a gripping plot too. What else can we ask for?

  • Hello Monster

    3. Hello Monster

    Korean Drama - 2015, 16 episodes

    8.5

    This drama is not only gripping, it's quite deep too. It has amazing criminals, who almost outshine the good guys, and pretty cool cases. The OTP is fine, too. Worth a watch and even a rewatch!

  • When a Snail Falls in Love

    4. When a Snail Falls in Love

    Chinese Drama - 2016, 21 episodes

    8.0

    A spinoff of Love Me If You Dare (in my opinion) that doesn't live up to the original in the romance department, but that still is way above average. I definitely recommend!

  • To Love

    5. To Love

    Chinese Drama - 2020, 40 episodes

    7.5

    This drama is fresh in its delivery. Such a distinct way of narrating the story! The leads aren't the most endearing but their relationship is nice and the investigations are interesting. Give it a try and see!
